Great British Designer Choose to Reuse is a joint campaign by Bags of Ethics and British Fashion Council to get everyone to swap disposable items to reusable ones, and help save millions of tonnes of single-use plastic entering our communities and environment. The collection is designed by British fashion label RIXO and part of the profits from the collection will raise essential funds for tree planting with The Queen’s Green Canopy and for creative future talent through the BFC Foundation.
