Need a New Handbag….Then its Definitely Maybe Mabel


Where handbags are concerned there’s no “maybe-ing” to be done and with this in mind we’re pleased to welcome Lauren Holloway and her company to Ash House.

Maybe Mabel is a handmade business specialising in designing and creating beautiful and unique handbags, tote bags, clutch purses, make up bags and keychains. Lauren Holloway is the sole creator behind the business, which was founded in early 2013. Lauren has a background in Art & Design but studied Photography in 2002 and worked in this area for ten years before deciding to get back behind a sewing machine and relinquish her passion for textiles and sewing.

Lauren’s designs are categorised by her bold choice of colours and fabrics which she mixes with leather to create attractive but functional bags for everyday use. She works with a mixture of designer cottons and upcycled fabrics and loves scouring the charity shops for materials to recycle, from curtains to leather jackets.

Her shop has a wide range of bags which are made to order but she can also create bespoke pieces and works closely with her customers to design their perfect bag just for them. Take a look at her website www.maybemabelhandmade.etsy.com

Lauren commented, “Ransomwood seemed the ideal place for me to set up my first ‘proper’ studio as it is such a beautiful place to work and really close to home. All the staff have been so helpful and I am really looking forward to being part of the Ransomwood community”.

    This is such a beautiful setting for an office. Lovely & peaceful and the Ransomwood team are excellent! The maintenance team are always around if needed, great internet facilities and a fabulous café onsite too. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for premises in the area.

    Still love to walk around. I used to live in the big house at the top of the drive, it was Oak House then and I nursed at Ransom Hospital , Byron Ward which was on the left side of Ransom Hall car park. Oak House used to be Sisters accommodation. I think the main chef lived upstairs when I lived there and just me downstairs mostly. I loved it but had to keep my kitchen door closed because of the squirrels. Loved looking down the drive out of my bedroom and lounge windows, beautiful in Autumn and when it snowed, I worked at Ransom Hospital until it closed in 1987. Wonder why Oak House was later named Ash House? Lovely dining at Forever Green in the grounds whilst I reminisce.
