orange blue and white fish shoulder bag with button fastening

Uses:

 I love this fish fabric, its fun, bright and cheerful and looks great with denim, blue and white.

It makes a great everyday bag with secure pockets for your valuables and enough room for your phone, wallet, book, pen, small umbrella etc.  I've even fitted a pasty and an apple in it! The alterable length strap allows it to be a shoulder bag, or in some cases it could be worn as a cross body bag. 

 Inspiration: 

Our marine life is threatened by plastics, ghost fishing, sewage, industrial pollution and  climate change. This all leads to loss of biodiversity and disease in our marine environments. The Marine Conservation Society  pledges to protect at least 30% of our own marine area by 2030 and  in 2023 they achieved some success stories:-

1) Native osters were returned to Scottish waters for the first time in 100 years.

2) In October 2023  a ban on single use plastics came into effect in England, with Wales bringing in their own ban shortly afterwards. The push for these bans was helped by volunteers recording how much plastic littered our beaches during beach clearing events.

3) UK marine wildlife surveys have helped build a picture of life in UK and Irish seas and track changes that may occur due to pollution and climate change.

4) Raised awareness of microfibre pollution to the government and a solution:- microfibre filters in washing machines.
