Historia
Established in 1997, the company emerged during a period of significant cultural transformation in Notting Hill. It gained prominence by transforming utilitarian grocery carriers into recognizable fashion items, reflecting the area's shift toward gentrified bohemianism. The brand’s bags became a staple of late 1990s London street style. Its historical significance lies in pioneering the branded canvas tote as a status symbol within the broader movement of sustainable and local fashion.
