To Have & To Hold is a series of editions
exploring a collection of paper bag ephemera
from a bygone era.

These once ubiquitous items now provide us
with a rare and timely insight, into our relatively
recent consumer past.

Ranging from the early 1900s to present day.
From the local corner shop to the high street
department store, this is a reflection of a more
innocent design era.
A time of the logotype rather than the brand,
the Filofax as opposed to the mobile, the fax
machine instead of Facebook. When the word
‘virtual’ was not yet a reality.
