I would like to add that my website is: www.bagsandrags.nl
This month during the Mode Biennale Arnhem, I will open my doors for visitors in my workshop at the Utrechtsestraat 35 in Arnhem. Just call me +31614276285 to make an appointment so I can show visitors around.
Enjoy your stay in Arnhem,
kind regards,
