Eco chic with a Katharine Hamnett ethical bag

Love the planet with a Katharine Hamnett organic cotton tote bag

Ever since she encouraged us to Choose Life in the 80s, designer Katharine Hamnett has been passionate about political and environmental causes – and she remains true to those beliefs with this stylish Katharine Hamnett ethical bag. An oversized tote made from 100% organic cotton, this Katharine Hamnett ethical bag is big enough for everything you need – whether it’s to use for all your groceries (and reduce your plastic bag consumption) or just to carry round your everyday essentials in style. The bag is available in pink and black or black and white, and further sealing its eco and ethical credentials, it is printed in the UK with water-based, eco-friendly inks that will fade after the first wash to give it a fantastic, vintage look. Katharine Hamnett is one of the first – if not the first – to bring us slogan t-shirts (she famously wore an anti-nuclear t-shirt to meet Mrs Thatcher). As one of the UK’s most influential designers, the fact that she is putting the weight of her name behind a campaign to raise awareness of injustice in the clothing industry is helping drive demand for organic cotton. This helps small farmers – who earn up to 50% more for their goods when they are organic, as this massively reduces production costs – and the environment, as non-organic cotton is one of the most chemically intensive materials to produce. So you may have grown out of dancing to Wham!, but you can still enjoy some vintage cool with this chic and eco-friendly Katharine Hamnett ethical bag.
