Despite its name, the ancestry of the French Bulldog partly lies in Britain. The Toy Bulldog was a popular breed around Nottingham in the mid-nineteenth century, and when lace makers from the area immigrated to northern France in the 1850s, they took their dogs with them. These British dogs bred with local short-faced breeds and the result was the Frenchie, a dog that became especially fashionable in Parisian artistic society. To this day, the French Bulldog remains one of the most popular domestic breeds, and our design features cute pooches looking out inquisitively from oval windows set against a black and white hounds tooth backdrop.

The Art of Tapestry Tapestry is an ancient art dating back over 2000 years. In the UK and Europe, tapestry art was most prominent during the middle-ages. Barons and knights would adorn their castle walls with them for both decoration and warmth. A tapestry is started by stretching plain warp threads on a loom to create a grid. The coloured weft threads are then weaved in and out of the warp threads, building up a complete tapestry. Our production method uses modern mechanical looms which greatly speeds up what used to take weeks or months by hand. A special characteristic of each Signare bag is that each one is unique. Signare means ‘Signature’ in Latin and we wish every customer to possess their own individual signature bag.
