state of escape

THE STATE OF ESCAPE STORY BEGAN IN 2013 WHEN TWO FRIENDS IN SYDNEY, DESLEY MAIDMENT AND BRIGITTE MACGOWAN, DREAMT UP AND CREATED A BAG. THEY DESIGNED THEIR DISTINCTIVE TOTE IN NEOPRENE, WHICH IS USED TO MAKE WETSUITS, RESULTING IN A SUPER CHIC BAG THAT IS LIGHT-WEIGHT, STRETCHY AND MACHINE WASHABLE. IT WORKS AS A WEEKEND BAG, AT THE GYM AND FOR THE OFFICE: “IT'S SO MULTI-FUNCTIONAL, IT REALLY BECOMES YOUR 80 PER CENT BAG,” SAYS BRIGITTE. THIS DESIGN WAS ONLY THE START OF STATE OF ESCAPE’S EVOLVING COLLECTIONS, ALL PROUDLY MADE IN AUSTRALIA.
