Available to purchase online through Bags with Ethics’ official site, products include luxury canvas shopping bags and reusable mesh bags, as well as aprons, tea towels, coffee cups and water bottles. Each item comes complete with a QR code for users to scan swap pledges onto an aggregator. The campaign hopes to encourage individuals to reuse items by transferring from disposable products to reusable alternatives, with the end goal of reducing waste from single-use plastic.

She continued: “This campaign promotes a conscious way of living that is both attainable and maintainable for all of us while having a significant impact on our consumption and waste.” A percentage of the profits from the collection will be donated to the BFC Foundation, supporting the future growth and success of the British fashion industry. An additional portion of profits will go towards The Queen’s Green Canopy initiative, a tree planting scheme created to maker Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022.
