It’s officially the Victoria & Albert Museum’s most successful exhibition to date usurping even the immensely popular David Bowie exhibition of a few years ago. The Savage Beauty: Alexander McQueen exhibition has finally drawn to an end with a record 493,043 visitors flocking to see the clothes that put British fashion firmly on the world map for good.

Once again, WBC Bags for Life were super proud to have been asked to supply the Alexander McQueen tote show bags as part of the merchandising program for the show. Our team produced a canvas backpack, canvas tote bag and a heavy weight premium canvas bag, all of which featured McQueen’s world famous trademark heritage skull motif.

It was pretty amazing to see the amount of creativity UK food and drink has to offer.

For us, it was a chance to roll out our new ‘Christmas is Coming’ collection of gift and hamper packaging ideas for the upcoming festive season. If you were unable to attend the show or just need a fresh reminder of what we exhibited on our stand, here is a list of the Top 10 products we’ve received most feedback about.
