When Mother has a vintage scarf that's so beautiful and you also happen to be the designer at Kempton & Co, it's inevitable, unavoidable, and unfathomable it won't somehow end up becoming the inspiration of this season's society page handbag. ButOh what a scarf! Oh, what a handbag! We're delighted to show off the Cowdray Hobo and tell you it's exactly what you need to add color, slouch, and 70's Cher chic to your winter wardrobe. Make this your autumnal favorite showpiece for the brick red, white and blue, silk cotton, geometric scarf print matched with a wide trim of perforated brown leather and topped by an astonishing set of black, red, and white woven leather handles, on the wide side for that perfect shoulder fit. Pair it with your nubby, chunky sweaters and high waisted jeans and seize the impressions of the day.

Sharing the love

We collaborate on the zipper toggles with Kenyan artisans. Entirely handmade with simple tools and machinery, using locally sourced materials. These reclaimed materials are transformed into beautiful objects to generate income for small artisan groups working mostly in Kibera, one of Nairobi's largest slums.
