Even if you didn’t plant a tree you are still welcome to come and help.

LOCAL COMPANY at PARIS FASHION WEEK
Nine Handbags was originally a silversmithing brand launched by Prickwillow father and daughter duo Tim and Rebecca Hill in 2010.
Tim and Rebecca decided that they wanted to explore new possibilities for traditional silversmithing and founded Nine Handbags.
Rebecca said: ‘We were thrilled to be catapulted onto the global stage.
“We were full of excitement and trepidation at the possibilities this could bring as well as the doors that were opening.
“This is a significant milestone for us, and we were incredibly proud to represent our local area on such a prestigious international platform.”
The pair found out they had been selected to present their bags on the international catwalk last year and have been designing a range of unique pieces.
