Albion have once again joined forces with upcycling innovators FC88 to create a second collection of remade bum bags and bucket hats which are now on sale in the club superstore.

The bum bags and bucket hats created by FC88 are one-of-a-kind pieces, made of material from youth shirts that couldn’t be sold due to a misprint. Rather than let these shirts go to waste, the club worked with FC88 who carefully designed the new pieces to ensure as little material went to waste as possible.

Not only are they made from reused materials, but they are produced locally as well, supporting the local economy. All these products were hand-crafted by a skilled team of crafts people in FC88’s Brighton based workshop less than two miles away.

Nicole Bekkers, Founder & CEO of FC88, highlighted the importance of local production, "The first collection flew off the shelves, so we are delighted to give fans another chance to get their hands on these unique products."

Albion’s sustainability manager Tom Harris said, “We are delighted to be working with FC88 to release our second collection of remade bum bags and bucket hats. These unique, locally-made items have proved to be very popular with our fans and show what can be achieved working in collaboration with innovative businesses like FC88.”
