The 1800 Essential Artists Merch

Overview

Summer is just around the corner, so it's time to bust out the tequila. But, while you're sipping that margarita in the sun, you'll need something to help you stay cool, both literally and sartorially speaking. Thankfully, 1800 Tequila has teamed up with some of the hottest talent in the country to bring you a range of limited-edition merch.

First up, Aussie accessories designer extraordinaire Poppy Lissiman — the one who brought us those super-skinny cateye glasses worn by celebs the world over — has designed a bag. The sleek monochromatic bumbag has a silver chain and can carry all the essentials you need to go from the park to the pub to the beach. Or, you can stay sun-safe with one of the new 1800 Tequila hats. There's the black bucket hat designed by Sydney-based musician Manu Crooks, with the phrase 'Mood Forever' emblazoned on the front. Or, you can get your hands on the cap, designed by 1800 Tequila itself.

You can feel good about buying the merch, too, with 1800 Tequila donating all profits from this exclusive release to social enterprise Scarf. The not-for-profit provides hands-on hospitality training to people facing barriers to work, including young people, asylum seekers and refugees. After a year that's devastated the industry — and with repercussions likely to be felt for  a while to come — Scarf's mission is as important now as ever.

The merch will be available via www.1800essentialartists.com.au from 6pm on Tuesday, December 1 till stocks last.
