Founding Member

Our small ethical business 'The Tipsy Badger' was set up after we found out how damaging the fast fashion industry is to the planet. We wanted a way to reuse old clothes, giving them a second chance, and keeping them out of landfill. Clothes are sourced from various charity shops, second hand purchases and donations, and are then made into beautiful and quirky bags and accessories. Corinne does the designing and sewing, while Fosta paints stunning designs onto other items to breathe new life into them. Everything is made on our narrowboat in Cheshire, and the sewing machine is even powered by solar.

Description

Hand painted satchel with an adorable picture of a sloth on the front. 🦥

These bags are upcycled like all of our others, but they have an extra special element to them in that they are unique pieces of artwork.

The picture is painted on by Fosta, using vegan fabric paints. This is then heat cured using an iron. Once it’s ready, Corinne makes it into a satchel!

These bags are a complete one off! They measure approximately 33cm (w) x 32cm (h) and the strap is adjustable so they can be worn cross body or on one shoulder.

All bags are lined, and there is a phone pocket too.

Most parts of the bags are upcycled, but things that have to be purchased (eg. the strap) are all natural materials.

These bags are super strong and have been triple sewn using polyester thread that has been made from discarded plastic bottles.

This bag is made to order, and can be ordered in black or blue denim for the outside, and the lining and pocket will be chosen by us unless you have a preference for a particular colour/style. There is a section to tell us this when ordering but please remember we work with upcycled fabrics, so may not be able to use the exact fabric you want, especially if it is very specific. But we’ll do our best and will contact you before making to check you are happy!

If you would prefer something other than black or blue denim, let us know in the comments when ordering and we will contact you with options.

Please note: These bags are unique and your bag will be hand painted. it will have slight differences to the pictures. If there is anything different you would like (eg looking in different direction etc) please let us know in the comments when ordering.

The bag can be washed on a cool wash.

Currently the timescale for making and sending out an original artwork bag is 2 – 3 weeks. if you are in a rush please get in touch and we will let you know if we can make it quicker 🙂
