      Lift Off is a unique tote bag, a white-hot burst of ‘new’. Its remarkable words, alongside Malevich's trailblazing art, inspire us to leap creatively into the future. They allow us to carry a hope-charged marker - a launch button for Lift Off.

      Comes in a stunning reusable 'Bags Of Ethics' cotton shoulder sling dust bag incorporating the ART WRD Welcome Poem. 

  • The art

    • "Suprematist Composition" by Kazimir Malevich 1915

      Kazimir Malevich pushed beyond Cubism, Picasso and Mattise in his fierce determination to liberate painting from representation into a new abstract realm. If his radical 'resetting of art' painting "Black Square" (created in the same year) is abstraction's Big Bang we can view Suprematist Composition with its thrilling sense of forward creative motion as the universe forming.

  • The words

    • "The Union" by William Ellery Channing 1829

      William Channing’s words are an electric accompaniment to Malevich’s artwork. Written in 1829 they now read as a prophetic manifesto for the intellectual, social and cultural developments of the 20th century. Or, simply, as a call to strike with courage and hope for a brighter future.

      Our pioneering printing lasts a lifetime

      In Nottingham, England we work with printing pioneers. Utilizing their specialist procedures, they are able to recreate artworks on novel materials with unparalleled colour vibrancy, image quality and colour durability.

      Our bags are crafted by highly skilled, passionate people

      Just across the Nottinghamshire Wolds in Melton Mowbray, our tote bags are handcrafted in small batches using traditional methods. This, along with the natural variation in these artisan products, means each one is unique. 

      Each bag is triple-stitched at pressure points. Combine this with our triple-bonded shower proof twill and high-quality webbing handles and the result is a bag that, as well as looking remarkable, is immensely strong and durable.

      In short, ART WRD bags are made to inspire you and be loved for a lifetime.

High quality wallet

Beautifully made, durable, attractive. Bought a second one when I lost the first one. Never want to be without this in my pocket or bag. Holds 3 cards easily, would probably stretch to a fourth.
