Dachshund

clutch Okay so this fabulous

leather Dachshund bag is

not Polish - it was designed

by the fantastic Keecie girls

in the Netherlands – but

no-one loves their

Dachshunds more than the

Poles so we had to have

this bag. It brings a whole

new meaning to taking the

dog for a walk. Very well

behaved – it doesn’t bark

or whine – and it will carry

your keys, phone and

wallet with style.

tail 57cm

created by eating, which designers Aze hope will bring

interaction and humour to the table. Made from 100%

recall the unforgettable experience of travelling to Bulgaria for their holidays in a tiny little Maluch fully packed and

by the producer as the official name of the car. And although production ceased in 2000 Maluchs can still be found

travelling the roads of Poland. Please state size when ordering.
