Rise tote bag

Meet Rise — a bold, one-of-a-kind tote with a little bit of fire in her belly.

A striking phoenix takes centre stage against rich dark denim, with fiery oranges and reds adding energy and movement. But there’s a story behind her too…

The phoenix has a special connection to Cirencester, the town that inspired Cirendipity. It has been associated with the town for centuries and appears on its crest, traditionally symbolising rising again after destruction — a wonderful emblem of resilience, renewal and new beginnings.

Inside, the smoke-coloured (floral) lining is made from an old duvet cover, rescued and given a whole new life. It seems particularly fitting for a bag whose story is all about transformation.

As with every Cirendipity creation, Rise is made from rescued and repurposed fabrics, making her completely unique. There won’t be another exactly like her.

Rise — a phoenix, a fresh start, and a little piece of Cirencester woven into her story.
