London-based fashion designer Giles Deacon has been impressing the critics since his debut in 2004 with a quirky mix of luxury quality and whimsical details. As he has worked his way into ready-to-wear apparel available at places like Barneys and Nordstrom, there have been a few collaborations along the way.
Now he has teamed up for a new one that may or may not surprise his fans who have come to expect the unexpected. Giles created a new practical tote bag design along with Isklar, a company that produces Norwegian glacial natural mineral water. The designer recently commented on the collaboration:
“I am always on the look out for new, interesting brands with which you can get creative and have a bit of fun. With Isklar I felt there was a real story to be told – one with strong visual qualities that transferred seamlessly into fashion design, but also one that felt a little special and a little magical.”
The limited-edition tote features a material that plays off of his signature silk jacquard and two exterior side pockets are just the right size for Isklar water bottles. When you purchase one of 100 Giles Deacon/Isklar bags, you’ll also get the satisfaction of knowing that 50% of the proceeds will go to Oxfam to fight poverty and injustice around the world.
