Bannerbags.co.uk (http://www.bannerbags.co.uk), the only UK manufacture of fashion bags crafted from recycled advertising banners, is launching a new range based on banners from Liverpool, European Capital of Culture events.

Including totes, handbags, sports bags, courier bags, weekend and laptop bags - all bearing the Liverpool European Capital of Culture Official Logo, the high quality accessories are made from wholly recycled street banners, and each item is an individual product that no-one else owns.

Paul Gilbraith, managing director, Bannerbags.co.uk, comments: "Thousands of advertising banners are produced for festivals, concerts and advertising campaigns using PVC and polypropylene, which do not biodegrade. Instead of disposing of unwanted banners in landfill sites, we turn seemingly valueless items into eco-friendly fashion. The result is a reasonably priced bag that most discerning fashion conscious people would like to carry."

Gilbraith continues: "We've already approached five major supermarkets with our product samples and are keen to work with companies that manufacture or commission banners to reduce their carbon footprint and improve their green profile and profits".

Recent projects have included recycling 500 square metres of show banners into 500 laptop bags for Kona Bikes and producing 375 �bag for life' totes from banners for The Mayor's Thames Festival.

Adrian Evans, festival director, The Mayor's Thames Festival, comments: "We are delighted with our banner bags. It's good to recycle our PVC banners and the bags act as a great marketing tool for the festival the whole year round."

The Liverpool European Capital of Culture bags cost from RRP £18.50GBP to £29.95GBP and are available from the following outlets: 08 Place (Liverpool city centre), Albert Dock Visitor Information Centre, Liverpool John Lennon Airport Information Desk, St George's Hall Heritage Centre, http://www.liverpool08.com and http://stores.ebay.co.uk/BannerBags
