Shona Easton, a successful established designer, set up Easton Design Studio in 1996 to design handbags and other related products for prestigious clients including Next, M&S and other leading high street retailers. The Studio's skilled and dedicated staff specialise in the designing of leather goods, including:
The Easton brand of bags, purses, scarves and belts
