Anya Hindmarch Universal Bag Philippines

<p>Beloved british designer <strong>Anya Hindmarch </strong>brings her quietly influential Universal Bag to the Philippines, launching in exclusive partnership with <strong>The Marketplace</strong>. Designed as an everyday essential, the bag reflects Hindmarch’s long-standing approach to responsible design—where form, function, and longevity are always at its core.</p><p>First introduced in 2021, the <strong>Universal Bag </strong>is made from 100% recycled plasti. Since its debut, the project has diverted over 330 tonnes of virgin plastic from landfill, positioning the bag as one of the brand’s most recognizable design-led sustainability initiatives.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17698562751433.png" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><p>Visually, the Universal Bag reads more accessory and an actual fashion piece! Its structured shape, graphic smiley motif, and reinforced handles give it a distinct identity—designed to be carried daily and styled for everyday use. The intention is clear: a bag that earns its place in rotation through durability and design rather than novelty.</p><p>“The Universal Bag project has saved over 330 tonnes of virgin plastic from landfill to date… working together with major global food retailers shows how the solution needs to be collaborative,” says Hindmarch.</p><p>For the Philippine launch, The Marketplace becomes the first retailer globally to introduce both sizes of the Universal Bag at once, aligning the project with its curated, premium grocery experience.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17698562834634.png" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><p>The local edition is finished in The Marketplace’s signature brown, offset by yellow handles—pared back, graphic, and built for repeat use. The two sizes, the Regular (priced at P899), is great for carrying your groceries and the Mini (priced at P699) to hold your valuables while enjoying your shopping.</p><p>The Philippine release joins a growing global roster of Universal Bag collaborations across the UK, Japan, Hong Kong, and Australia, with further partnerships set for 2026.</p><p>Designed for daily life, the Universal Bag continues to position sustainability as a design choice—one shaped by restraint, intention, and longevity.</p><div><br/></div><div><em>This Philippine exclusive Universal Bag is available at The Marketplace stores nationwide</em></div>
