Once a PVC banner, now a great tote bag. Each bag is a unique one off design, depending on which section of exhibition banner it has been cut from. This is the perfect hard wearing tote bag, to tote all your stuff around in day in and day out. 

A portrait format tote bag handcrafted in Scotland, featuring an outer cover made from upcycled V&A Dundee exhibition banners. The PVC banners have been rescued and transformed into unique, sustainable accessories with internal waxed cotton lining and ECONYL recycled nylon handles.

A circular economy product designed for longevity with full take-back and upcycling program, meaning we collected used products and repurposed them into new products.
