Feed My Ride Commission

This year’s Tour De France departed from Yorkshire in England. To celebrate the event, Progress Packaging in the UK commissioned designers and artists to design a musette bag. Manual’s Creative Director Tom drew his inspiration from the rolling hills, valleys, and peaks of West Yorkshire, and the nearby Yorkshire Dales, where Tom is from.

Musettes are 300 x 360mm, screen printed black on custom dyed yellow cotton with embroidered tag and internal pocket. See all the designs here.

The bag designs were also reworked into a pair of A1 posters, available to buy from Print Process
