JULIEN MACDONALD X BAGS OF ETHICS FOR TESCO
Bags of Ethics was approached by Tesco to create and make this exclusive collection of designer reusable bags designed by Julien Macdonald. The limited-edition collection features three designs and are available to purchase exclusively from Tesco stores in the UK, for £5.
Tesco has a long-running scheme to offer cotton reusable bags with proceeds generated from each sale going towards good causes, charities and back into local communities. For this collaboration with Bags of Ethics Julien Macdonald designed the collection to raise funds and awareness for Graduate Fashion Week. 50p from the sale of each bag will be donated by Tesco to Graduate Fashion Week. Graduate Fashion Week provides an unrivalled platform for students, from both British and international universities, to showcase their work to the best press buyers and retailers in the fashion industry and has provided many young designers their first start in the fashion industry.
These bags are 100% cotton and are re-usable, durable and are fashionable alternatives to the single-use plastic bags – which is known to cause serious damage to our environment. The collection will be available for purchase exclusively in Tesco stores and Online from May 2016.
