Nature-Inspired Bags:
Handmade with Sustainable Fabrics in the New Forest
Welcome to the YooNeeYak Bags website! Home of the unique handmade bag. One-offs, two-offs or maybe even three-offs are my bag. Finding lovely fabric for my bags is a passion of mine as well as being kind to the planet. I have rescued some boat vinyl from landfill (read about it here). Fulfilling one of the concepts (re-use) of the movement to reduce waste: reduce, re-use, recycle.
Ouch Pouch Made With Rescued Marine Vinyl
Handmade in recycled vinyl from a lovely local (Ringwood) boat upholsterer. Each with enough room for all your minor medical needs, plasters, antiseptic cream, headache pills etc.
Perfect for your handbag, the car, your sports bag, school bag, swim bag and work bag. This little pouch is small enough to fit in your back pocket.
YooNeeYak bags are all handmade by me in a range of hard wearing, eco-friendly fabrics ranging from sustainable cork to the offcuts from local boat upholsterers to deadstock fabrics from TV shows. If I can save it from land fill and make it in to a useful and gorgeous bag it’s a win win!

I absolutely love adding a surprise pocket lining with something funky. A rollerskate, a golden octopus or a cool rainbow. Could be anything!
And because I hand make in small batches I can change the linings and zips whenever I find new and exciting stuff. This means that each of my bags is a unique piece.
Most of my bags in my shop can be recreated in your favourite colour. Another zipped pocket? A longer strap? No problem. Message me and we can talk it through.
Have a conversation starter. A Yooneeyak Bag.
It’s part of the joy of a handmade product.
