Additional Information
Cleverly designed to not just avoid, but to eliminate waste, one side of the rectangular handbag is made from pebble-textured soft black deadstock leather, with the other side and handles made up of a smooth black recycled leather. Understated, chic details finish the bag, such as orange contrasting T-stitching on the handles, plus Tate and BEEN signature logos debossed into the leather. The deep purple drop pocket was once a Tate Modern gallery banner, a detail which makes each bag truly unique. As the pockets are cut directly from the banner, the details present on the pocket will vary – some with be pure purple, some may feature aspects of white lettering – and each one will tell its own story of Tate.
To create these upcycled, design-led bags, we’ve partnered with sustainability experts BEEN London. With a carbon footprint that’s 60.26% lower than virgin leather, the recycled leather used to make your tote bag is made from Italian tannery offcuts and trimmings. These are are diverted from landfill and re-formed using only high pressure water jets, and no adhesives. This recycled leather, along with sourced deadstock leathers, diverts waste from landfill and helps to create accessories that’ll last a lifetime – our Tate + BEEN London collection alone has helped rescue a total of 50.67 kg of waste from going to landfill.
BEEN London are a multi-award winning design studio and accessories brand who make their timeless bags and accessories from discarded materials. By using zero virgin materials, the team behind BEEN London highlight the possibilities of circular design and challenge the way things are made. An all-female team based in East London, British Vogue has described them as one of the most innovative companies in the world.
