September, time to visit Bodrum

Published on 3 October 2026 at 11:05

My final trip of the year to Turkiye, and this time its to visit an amazing young lady who is designing and making The Troy Pantry handbag collection.

I flew to Bodrum, one of my favourite places in Turkiye, it has such a chilled vibe. I stayed at the Salmakis Spa Hotel, I have stayed here before and the views across the Bardakci Bay are unbeatable.

I ate in the hotel each night as the food is amazing, such a great selection.  The reason for this trip was to perform a design and quality check of our new handbag range before arranging despatch to the UK.

Im happy to say the bags are amazing, im even wearing one in the photo!
