So here we are, coming to the end of 2017!

As so many people say, this year has flown by, Orgill Originals has gone from strength to strength. I have learnt so much and felt our little business grow, especially since October.

Our craft fairs over November and early December were a huge success and have given me the confidence to progress even further and develop Orgill Originals even more.

So what's next for Orgill Originals?

We have a lot planned for the New Year - I'm itching to get started on new designs which we will probably start to develop over the Christmas period! Think small leather items, home decor and possibly a few new bags? Watch this space!

We will also be able to start offering more personalisation for ALL of our leather goods, with the options of gold and silver foiling! This will slowly become available across our leather range over the coming months - to keep up to date with our latest additions be sure to follow us on Instagram @orgilloriginals

We have big plans for 2018 and really hope you will join us on our journey!

I'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported Orgill Originals so far, whether you follow us on Instagram, read this blog or have made a purchase from us, I cannot express how much it means to us. I'd also like to thank my family for all their hard work this year and without them Orgill Originals would still be a dream!

Until next year!

I know it's only mid October and we're talking about Christmas but here at Orgill Originals we've been preparing long before now for our Christmas Craft Fairs! 

We've got lots of small gifts coming, perfect as stocking fillers! You can find a range of hanging Christmas decorations over on our Etsy shop here. These will coming with us to our craft fairs - each decoration is totally unique so once it's gone, it's gone!

We've also got plenty of Wooden & Copper Quote Displays getting in the festive spirit - these will be released early November!

Our leather range has grown massively since our last craft fair back in March - new bags, colours and designs - they're all coming with us to our fairs! If you want to get up close and personal with our leather then visiting a craft fair is the perfect opportunity. Don't worry though if you're not local to the East Midland area, we're making sure to keep both our online shop and Etsy store up to date with our latest products so you wont miss out! The best way to find out about our new designs is by following us on Instagram click here @orgilloriginals

One of our favourite gifts we've updated this year is the addition of personalised initials to our leather coin trays! Click here to check them out! 

We are also investigating personalised options for our bags - so keep your eyes peeled!

So where will we be in the run up to Christmas?
