In aid of The Eve Appeal
I was very excited to receive a message from Dilly Carter late 2024 about a collaboration project. As a user on The Contents Bag, Dilly wanted to collab on a leopard collection that had a Dolce vibe with her signature pop of colour. We started work on this in January and designed a custom printed leopard waxed cotton and incorporated pink accents with specialized top-stitching. When figuring out the finances, Dilly insisted we would NOT pay her, she wanted to help us a small business. However, because there's such a lot of work and time that goes into these things, I couldn't accept this generous offer. We settled on the wonderful idea of giving all profits from this collection to a charity close to her heart: The Eve Appeal.
We developed the design with an information tag in every bag, to enhance the mission of The Eve Appeal and spread awareness around gynaecological cancers.
And that's exactly what we did. We hosted a launch event at designer resale destination The Cirkel, in Marylebone. The entire collection sold out online in a couple of hours and so we opened a presale for October. Orders still come in everyday and we've already donated £10K to The Eve Appeal. Thank you to everyone who ordered and is part of this meaningful project.
