2023 is a special year—it marks the 30th anniversary of the British Fashion Council (BFC) NEWGEN, a program that’s been a launchpad for emerging fashion stars, including the iconic Alexander McQueen.
To celebrate and support future talents, eight NEWGEN Alumni designers have donated signature prints.
These tote bags aren’t just fashionable; they’re practical and sturdy. Made from strong canvas with reinforced bases and lined with cotton.
Inside pockets for your reusable bottle, and an additional pocket for your phone, keys, and coins.
The base has feet, and the handles are padded to fit over your wrist or be carried in your hand.
They’re eco-friendly, non-toxic inks and crafted with care in our manufacturing facility in South India.
Plus, every bag you buy helps the British Fashion Council Foundation nurture young UK designers.
