I create original art-like print-designs for my bags, footwear and accessories inspired by my love of nature, heritage and a good story. I believe that nature and art are important to positive mental health and creating designs that help raise smiles, generate feel-good moments 
and spark conversations gives me great pleasure. I also believe in 
made-to-order slow fashion as a primary way to help reduce fashion waste. Every sale results in a tree being planted and a plastic bottle from the ocean being recycled.

'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.

Fun Faux Fashion...

'BagFab' is my range of fun fashion and everyday bags, footwear and accessories created in in high-grade PU leather, canvas and nylon. Prices include shipping.

'BagFab' still respects my made-to-order ethos 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.

Summer '26 Makers' Events (North Yorkshire)

I will be attending several crafte fair events during the summer in North Yorkshire. These will include the very popular Bramble Berry Saturday events at Haxby, Pickering and Thornton-le-Dale and the well-patronised Sunday Coble Market at the lovely Scarborough Market Hall. I will have a selection of products available for sale on the day and will of course be able to discuss made-to-order and commissions.

The 'Yorkshire Tartan' Story

When I created TVFMR I was conscious that I wanted the brand to reflect aspects of my personal heritage. Although my own life is rooted in North Yorkshire my DNA is thirty percent Scottish, my late partner was Scottish and I've always loved tartan. I decided that a unique tartan design in 'Yorkshire' colours might be the perfect homage.

The result was an authentic Scottish tartan weave pattern in predominantly blue, yellow, green and white and which has since been registered as a new unique tartan in the Scottish Register Of Tartans as the 'Merryn Wilderspin' tartan. Read More

My PopUp Shop

In November 2025 I won three months of PopUp shop opportunity in Malton's 'Wow! Wheelgate' competition to help bring colour and something new to the town's traditional High Street and which was funded through the York and North Yorkshire Mayoral Fund.

It was a lovely and highly insightful experience and which has triggered the lauch of an expanded 'BagFab' range with many more new print designs. 

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 at my PopUps, craft fairs and other physical events, 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 refunds and therefore unless there are obvious 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.
