Designer-Prints inspired by nature and heritage

Follow me on Instagram @TVFMR and on Facebook at TheViewFromMyRear.

I'm Merryn Wilderspin and I create exclusive print-designs for my range of bag, accessory, footwear and casual clothing sub-brands. I'm from North Yorkshire, England, and TVFMR is inspired by the views from my home on the edge of the North York Moors. My designs reflect my love of nature, heritage and local stories.

My Ranges: Classic, Fun, Eco.

Classic Premium Leather...

'MerrynW' is my signature range of premium nappa leather bags handcrafted to order in London. 

Each bag is exquisitely handcrafted to individual customer order and delivered direct within around 7-10 days.

Advanced production and printing techniques ensure minimum waste, water usage and the use of eco-friendly inks.

Complemented by a range of matching accessories.

Responsible Fun Fashion...

'BagFab' is my accessible range of fun fashion bags made-to-order in high-grade PU leather and printed in my trademark designer prints. Prices include shipping.

Although fun fashion, 'BagFab' still respects my made-to-order criteria and so maintains my commitment to helping reduce annual fashion waste.

What's more, for every product sold, a tree will be planted in Kenya and a plastic bottle recycled from the ocean.

100% Organic & Recycled...

'TVFMR Eco' is my first venture into casual clothing with my nature designs as inspiration and 'Dragonfly' being the launch collection.

British-produced in 100% organic and recycled cotton, this is also a family-oriented range including some lovely products for kids. And, of course, there are bags! Stylish rucksacks and utility bags produced in recycled polyester plus water bottles, kraft-paper notebooks and more. Plus, return to the factory for recycling when it's time.

Visit My PopUp Shop in Malton Until Late February!

I've won three months of PopUp shop in Malton's 'Wow! Wheelgate' competition to help bring colour and something new to the town's traditional High Street. It's all being funded through the York and North Yorkshire Mayoral Fund.

It's a lovely shop in the heart of Wheelgate at No23A in-between the Skipton Building Society and Circular Malton and Norton Hub and I now have all my stock on display and for sale including my 'Yorkshire Tartan'. Postode is YO17 7HT.
 
I'll be here until late February 2026 which not only spans Christmas but also Burns Night in January (tartan!) and Valentine's Day in February (florals!). 

Plant a tree and recycle a bottle with every purchase

I'm chuffed to have signed-up to the 'GoodApi' scheme whereby for every 'MerrynW' and 'BagFab' product sold a tree will be planted in Kenya's mangroves and a plastic bottle will be recycled from the ocean.

So, we can both feel good about contributing to the planet through my products!

Cancellation, returns and refunds

For any items bought or ordered in the shop, a full refund can be obtained within 28 days providing you have the till receipt and there is no damage to the item. 


However, remotely ordered made-to-order lies outside the usual scope of 'change-of-mind' returns and refundsand therefore unless there are obvious and proveable issues relating to shipping loss, damage in transit or serious production quality then refunds for any other reason are unfortunately not possible.

Immediately following the placement of your online order you should receive an email advising that you have 24 hours to cancel and in which case you will need to email me and I will effect cancellation. After 24 hours, if no cancellation has been requested, your order will proceed to production and no cancellation is possible thereafter.


If you would like to have a chat with me before making-up-your mind please leave a message via the chatbot or email me at merryn@tvfmr.com


Please see the Refund Policy for full terms and conditions.

The Story So Far...

My Unique Print Designs

With characteristic Yorkshire humour, I created my brand 'The View From My Rear' in homage to the lovely view from my garden and which remains a constant daily source of inspiration.

Primarily, I offer made-to-order as I'm keen to help limit the amount of annual fashion waste caused by bulk fashion production and retail deadstock - much of which finds its way to landfill.

All of my ranges share my same print-designs. It's my print-designs that define both me and the brand and I want anyone to be able to access and enjoy my work regardless of price-point. You'll find the same designs on both my British-produced 'London Leather' and 'BagFab' fun fashion PU leather ranges.

My 'TVFMR Eco' range of casual organic cotton and recycled polyester bags is more minimalist and characterised by motifs and logos rather than all-over print but still uses elements drawn from my master designs - the 'Dragonfly' being a good example and which is imported from my 'Regenesis' print design.

Slow Fashion

The oak tree in the field behind my house is more than just the inspiration for my logo. It also exemplifies and symbolises the concept of 'slow fashion' - the antithesis to 'fast fashion' where style is timeless, less is more and quality and longevity matter.

My designs don't change with annual fashion trends. I launch new collections whenever I have another new design. Because I offer made-to-order, you will always be able to order any bag style and accessory in any of my print designs at any time of year and until I either retire a design or a supplier is no longer able to supply a particular product.

Made-to-order just for you

Made-to-order goes hand-in-hand with 'Slow Fashion' and sustainability. Whilst it's a rather different approach to buying immediately off-shelf, rapid made-to-order is now supported by a clever mix of handcrafted skills, new print technology and cost-effective production processes. As global legislation to curb waste takes effect on fashion businesses, I see made-to-order becoming far more visible. The technology is there. It just needs the mindset.

There may increasingly be opportunities to find my products in shops but which act more like a showroom and order-point where you can see and feel samples and make your selection but it will still result in a made-to-order product just for you and will be delivered direct-to-door typically within 7-10 days for 'MerrynW' and 'Eco' and 14-20 days for 'BagFab'.
