Irish brand Landa Bags has a storied history. Inspired by her Italian grandfather who fought the Nazis and subsequently built a cobbler’s business from scratch, designer Silvana learned about leathermaking and hand-stitching from her grandparents. Enter Landa, exquisitely crafted supple leather bags with two new styles for the autumn winter season. We love the CAOBA quilted bag. At €325, it’s convenient, chic and light to boot. landabags.com.

For the first few years of my life, I lived in a communal house in Howth with multiple families. They were all working in yoga or holistic medicine — it was really fun to be a child of that.

We used to set up our teddy bears against a wall in the kitchen and pretend that we were teaching them or doing a TV program. She was always in charge and I was her assistant. We laugh about that now. My mum had a boutique down the road in Foxrock Village. She always managed to have something delicious to eat for us.
