Amazing hand made bag shop

[JMT]

I was walking down Rye Lane from Nigel Road today and spotted a good looking leather bag in the window of a lovely looking building with (slightly too) inconspicuous signage. Popped in to have a look.

There was a huge range of beautifully designed handmade leather bags and other really great accessories. Spotted a lovely leather satchel, fully lined and pocketed, for ?45! Sadly my files wouldn't fit into it, so she offered to make me one to fit! She is also going to lengthen the strap as I like it wear a strap diagonally across me. All for ?55. I could hardly believe my luck.

It's called Jaark, just at the top of Rye Lane on your right. Definitely worth a visit.

Which end do you call the "top" of Rye Lane, as I'd like to visit the shop? Ta!

I noticed this shop last week. Sue, it's at the end nearest the common, sort of opposite the Tesco (there is/was a sewing machine repair shop in the same building). As you walk from ED to Peckham Rye station it's on the left hand side, just at the point where the buses go down the buses only part down to the station.

Thanks Pickle, I know exactly where you mean.

I'll go down and have a look! I'm fed up with buying cheap bags which fall apart, time for a decent one I think. And supporting a local business at the same time would be even better :)
