Hemisphere comes of age

15 October 2009

To mark our 21st birthday we've created a range of bespoke Hemisphere collectables – specially designed bags featuring key pieces of work from our 21-year archive.

Divided into three ‘collections’ – Vintage, Classic and Contemporary – each bag is a re-imagining of one of our past design projects, turning it into a unique fashion accessory.

Staff, clients and suppliers got together to mark this special milestone in Hemisphere’s history and during the event we auctioned off our guests’ top 10 favourite pieces of Hemisphere baggage in aid of The Christie Appeal.
