British designer Christopher Raeburn has created two new unisex bag styles inspired by the world’s favourite cartoon couple, Mickey and Minnie Mouse.

The London-based brand worked closely with the Walt Disney Company over 12 months to design and develop the items, which reimagine the iconic characters in leather and denim form.

“To work with the Walt Disney Company is not only a huge honour, it’s thrilling to create something that really represents exactly what we’re about as a brand.” said Christopher Raeburn. “Collaboration, playfulness and innovative design are in our DNA, and this project has all these elements.”

The collaboration also took sustainability into account, ensuring all materials were sourced responsibly. The bags are made from ethically sourced nappa leather or organic European milled indigo denim, and presented in a reusable hexagonal box made from 100% recycled materials.

The bags also feature a zipped compartment at the back and adjustable straps for extra comfort and use. They are available from Friday 16 September at Selfridges and The Conran Shop in London, plus a host of international retail partners.

A Minny bag in pink leather is also available exclusively at Selfridges.
