Since Anya Hindmarch’s iconic “Not a Plastic Bag” enjoyed a meteoric rise to fame in 2007, bags with a conscience have been a key consideration for both charities and fashion labels who recognised that our addiction to “overspill” bags was one on which they could cash in.
The latest to get a lever on this trend is The Royal British Legion who look set to follow in Hindmarch’s footsteps by creating the charity “it” bag of the season. Already a favourite with Sienna Miller, the eco-friendly jute bag is among the season’s most coveted accessories. Featuring a bold poppy motif and available for a very affordable £2.60, the Royal British Legion’s Poppy print jute wins on both an aesthetic and practical level.
