Back Room Orange Tote Bag

A limited edition artist tote from Broken Grey Wires.

The Back Room Tote Bag began as an original lino print before being developed into this limited edition screen print.

Each tote is individually screen printed and finished with a hand-sewn Broken Grey Wires woven label, retaining the tactile quality and subtle variations that are integral to the printmaking process.

Created as an extension of the original artwork rather than a reproduction, the tote brings contemporary printmaking beyond the gallery and into everyday life.

⭐️ Limited Edition

This tote is limited to just 20 bags, with each one individually screen printed and finished with a hand-sewn Broken Grey Wires label.

The edition size is a tribute to our home in Bootle's L20 postcode, where Broken Grey Wires produces ambitious contemporary art while creating opportunities for marginalised artists.

Each tote is part of this small edition. Once sold out, it will not be reprinted in this form.

⚡️ Please note

Each tote is screen printed by hand, meaning slight variations in ink coverage and texture are a natural part of the process. These are not imperfections—they're what make every edition unique.

Broken Grey Wires is an artist-led organisation producing ambitious contemporary art while creating opportunities for artists with experience of mental health challenges and neurodivergence.

Led by people with lived experience, our practice is grounded in radical empathy, experimentation and collaboration. Through exhibitions, printmaking, workshops and artist-led projects, we create work that explores the complexities of mental health while challenging stigma and amplifying voices that have historically been marginalised.

Every purchase directly supports our work, helping us commission artists, develop new projects and create spaces where creativity, inclusion and lived experience are celebrated.
