If you missed out the first time you’ll be happy to know Katharine Hamnett is continuing to encourage us to protect our planet with the relaunch of her Save the Sea bag.
The slogan tote has been re-released, along with a brand new Save the World bag, as part of Project Ocean. This program is the brainchild of Selfridges and the Zoological Society of London. It looks to raise awareness of the problem of over-fishing the world’s waterways.
The Katharine Hamnett totes are just as green as their statements, as each one is made from 100% organic cotton. They’re also machine washable to 40°C, although I suggest using a much colder cycle if you really want to go green.
Each limited edition tote is affordably priced at £18, and £10 of that will benefit the Zoological Society of London. The group plans to maintain existing marine reserves and build new ones to protect the world’s sea creatures. Selfridges assures us that it’s not making any profits on the sale of the handbags; the £8 difference is simply what it takes to manufacture these green totes.
These Katharine Hamnett totes aren’t particularly exciting but they do make a strong statement, which is really all many of us ask of our fashion accessories!
