Red Nose Day: The MUST HAVE Merchandise

Hoorah, today it’s Red Nose Day, but you already knew that right? As I write this I’m sat here sipping on a cup of Matcha green tea out of this year’s Red Nose Day Mug. It got me thinking if your workplace or school, college or university isn’t fundraising today then there are ways in which you can make a difference.

Ever since I can remember Red Nose Day has been a big deal up and down the country. I remember from my early primary school days the fight was always on as to who had the newest red nose first, and then in latter years of my school career, it was a case of who had the best ‘vintage’ nose from the previous years.

With the iconic Red Nose we have seen multiple iconic British designers lending their hand to the cause and in recent years the likes of Vivienne Westwood and Henry Holland have helped to create some essential must have Red Nose Day items to raise some serious cash for this amazing charity.

One of my personal favourites from 2011 is the Louis XVI with Red Noses on her breasts t-shirt that I proudly own. This year for 2017 sees Rankin, a renowned Fashion and Portrait photographer’s collection of animals in black and white emblazoned across t-shirts and aprons. With a French bulldog, affectionately known as Albert wearing a baseball cap to Jonny the goat with a curly afro these designs are fun and quirky with a serious fashion edge.

The t-shirts are all produced and manufactured in Africa and 50% of the money from the merchandise goes back to Comic Relief to aid projects all around the world you know that you’re doing your bit for the greater good.
