The Newcastle Colour Palette Tote Bag

Newcastle Tote Bag: Take the Toon With You

A proper everyday bag with a big splash of Newcastle colour. This 40 x 40cm cotton tote features six shades inspired by the places, stories and local obsessions that give the city its character.

Made from sturdy 100% cotton with the swatches printed edge to edge, it’s ideal for shopping in the city, days out, weekends away and trips to the coast. A distinctive Newcastle gift for Geordies, students, visitors and anyone who likes carrying a little bit of the Toon around with them.
