The latter happened the other day, I spotted an amazing handbag but I didn't want to interrupt the lady doing her shopping to ask where it was from. Then by chance a picture came up on Instagram and it was a small purse in the same print, at last I found out who made it! I was overjoyed to finally find out!<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It turns out <a href="http://www.bettyandwalter.com/products/spotted-dick-zip-top-tote-1" target="_blank">the bag</a> is made by <a href="http://www.bettyandwalter.com/" target="_blank">Betty & Walter</a>, a lifestyle brand with patterns by Lisa Levis, seen below!</div>
