Our newest collection repurposed [with permission of the artist] from a large scale art installation swerved from landfill... introducing Samovar, the oversized shiny inflatable tea service, last seen 'lodged into the side of the Hayward Gallery' [London]
The first commission from the Bagri Foundation, Samovar was created by Berlin based art collective Slavs and Tatars and is a comment on the history of tea "intertwined with cross-cultural exchange and colonialism"
You can read more about the piece over on www.southbankcentre.co.uk and www.bagrifoundation.org
Find out more about artists Slavs and Tatars on social media @slavsandtatars
features: fully adjustable webbing straps, that can be worn around waist or across body, with heavy duty side release clip fastening
A little note about us
We process, wash, hand cut and hand sew every, single bag, from salvaged fabric, right here in our workshop, in Newchurch on the Isle of Wight, UK
We don’t outsource any of the processes- not one!
We are an accredited living wage employer
That means that ALL of our staff, without exception, are paid the national living wage, or above
In addition, we offer a lifetime repairs and end of life policy
That means, if your bag breaks, we’ll fix it!
We just ask that you pay the postage to get it here and back, we’ll take care of the rest!
We take responsibility for the items we create and keep them in the circular loop for as long as we possibly can!
