Based in the UK, with a brand-new London concept store that’s recently relocated from Covent Garden to Gabriel’s Wharf, this unique designer presents a myriad of shopfront inspired handbags that’ll have everyone asking, ‘where did you get that bag?!’. And with nothing else quite like it on the market, it’s a one-of-a-kind brand that’s conquered the meaning of creativity. From shopfronts and scrapbook-style designs, to theatre collections that expertly encapsulate their source material, Vendula London exemplifies how to perfectly marry quirky ideas with flawless craftmanship to produce beautiful results. These results take the form of its multitude of handbag and backpack styles, alongside matching purses and accessories. No matter the size of the item, Vendula London will transform it into something magical that’ll entice any collector. Not only are the designs stunning, but the craftsmanship behind each and every product displays an incredible attention to detail. Whether chains are used to simulate raindrops falling from thundering clouds, or separate panels are added to allow you to open the door into Cat Dracula’s Haunted Mansion, Vendula London embeds interactivity into every product. It adds a tactile nature to its bags that make them beyond interesting to touch and feel, whilst still maintaining its function as a handbag. Vendula London’s theming throughout its products is also unquestionably adorable. Its products feature some of our favourite fluffy friends in all of their glory, with little details hidden in the designs that you’re able to take everywhere with you. You can’t help but want to look closer to uncover the full story of the shopfront displayed on Vendula London’s bags, and it shows through one of our in-house team’s personal experience. As an avid collector of Vendula London’s handbags, she expressed how she receives regular compliments, and is always wowing people with the intricacies that Vendula London’s products consist of. And, as if its creativity wasn’t enough, Vendula London also has a stark presence in the animal rights sphere. As evidenced through its designs, it adores animals with all of its heart, and works with crueltyfree materials, dyes, fabrics, and vegan leather to comprise all of its products. Vendula London takes the wellbeing of animals incredibly seriously, and is determined to spearhead a change that’s desperately needed within the industry. Of course, with such a talented team of in-house designers at the ready to create the next showstopper, it comes as no surprise to learn that Vendula London is constantly dabbling in the art of innovation. It has always been heralded as one the quirkiest, yet stylish, handbag designers out there, but this is emphasised in full effect when it comes to its more weird and wonderful shapes. Every now and then, Vendula London will concoct a design that’s truly magical, and these ideas are miraculously brought to life through its statement pieces. One of its most recent bags to hit the market is the Shakespeare’s Theatre - The Tempest Ship Bag. This nugget of originality acts as a fantastic example of just how far Vendula London’s creativity spans, with the bag itself taking the shape of a sea-faring ship. Complete with sails and a multitude of 3D elements, this bag looks and feels like you’re carrying a shrunken down ship with you, and will have you wondering how such a feat of imagination is able to hold all of your belongings. Well, it’s all thanks to the fantastic individuals behind Vendula London. The team is nothing short of spectacular, with ideas spanning an endless stretch of imagination, and craftspeople who are able to identify each and every material needed to bring the design to life. The bags that Vendula London produces aren’t just works of art, but are labours of love, and it’s clear to see through the absolutely astounding quality of each and every product. Our in-house Vendula London collector can attest to this, with her collection still looking brand new, despite some of her bags’ years of use. There isn’t enough that can be said about Vendula London. Its 20 years of experience truly shines, and with such a vast following of collectors and an astonishing ability to constantly create something that’s never been done before, it’s easy to see why. There’s never been anything like Vendula London, and it’s possible that no other handbag and accessory brand will be able to replicate the effect that Vendula London’s bags have on people. It truly is a brand that’s risen above the others as a collaboration between uniqueness and passion. Its design and production team are a match made in heaven, and each and every product available to purchase from Vendula London acts as a wonderful example of this. There isn’t a single item in its wide array of collections that misses the mark, and if that doesn’t stand as a testament to its overwhelming quality, then we aren’t sure what does. Congratulations to Vendula London for 20 years of excellence, and for winning this award. We are always eager to see what designs are going to come next, and we’re absolutely loving the most recent Vendula Emporium collection. We’re beyond proud to award you with the title of Novelty Handbag Retailer of the Year 2023.

It requires a marvellous mind to turn a blank canvas into a painting, but to then sculpt that artwork into a physical object takes a while other kind of brilliance. Transforming detailed designs into handbags is no exception, but the wonderfully talented individuals at Vendula London have mastered the craft of turning imagination into creation.
