Spin Re-Bag
Spin’s Re-Bag design

Packaging manufacturer Progress approached 15 leading design practitioners to create a design to be printed on reusable canvas bags with a theme of sustainability. All bags are screenprinted white on to dark grey canvas (440mm X 387mm) and are produced in a limited edition of 250 of each design. Contributors to the project include Airside, Spin, NB Studio, Made Thought, Supermundane and tDR.

Here are a few of our favourite Re-Bags:

Airside Re-Bag
Airside’s Re-Bag

BB Saunders Re-Bag
BB Saunders‘ Re-Bag comes with a green felt tip so you can colour in a tree everytime you don’t use a plastic bag. There are more trees on the reverse!

Bags will be available to buy from the show – which runs until 11th October at the SEA Gallery, 70 St. John Street, London EC1M 4DT. Tel. +44 (0) 20 7566 3112 – and online at www.blanka.co.uk – where you can view all of the designs.

Exhibition was excellent - not many places you can see 15 of the top graphic studios completing the same brief. Very interesting to see how they approached brief. Love the MultiStori bag - and Design Project bag simple and hits the mark. Hope to see lots more projects like this in the future. Well done to all those involved.
