Eine - Anya Hindmarch - Tote Bags, by Daniel Silk on Jan 20, 2010 11:01:36 GMT 1, www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1241672/Fashion-forward-The-new-seasons-stylish-haves-plus-ultimate-designer-discount-sale.html
Street artist Ben Eine is set to do for typography what Banksy did for graffiti - so his upcoming collection of tote bags, in collaboration with Anya Hindmarch, are set to become the must-haves of the summer.
Each colourful bag is printed with typically witty words such as 'BOOTY' and 'LOOT' in Eine's signature bold style.
They echo his huge letters emblazoned on shop fronts across London, intended as a reminder that writing is art.
Available from March, ยฃ145 each, exclusively at Anya Hindmarch stores and Dover Street Market.

I guess they might do that version at some point  but it looks like just "Loot" "BackBritain" & Booty" at the moment

Eine - Anya Hindmarch - Tote Bags, by Daniel Silk on Apr 2, 2010 22:06:54 GMT 1, www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/rhiannon-harries-if-banksy-were-a-west-london-tory-1933794.html
"When I moved to east London a few years ago, I found tedious bus travel could be enlivened by spotting the efforts of various street artists in the area. Among those that made an impression were the seemingly random letters painted 10-feet tall in bright colours on shop shutters, appearing and disappearing Peekaboo-style according to opening hours. There wasn't much to them, but part of the pleasure of street art, and even less ambitious old-fashioned graffiti, is simply its unexpectedness.
But if the oversized alphabet comes as a nice surprise on an unassuming Hackney shopfront, finding it behind the glass of Knightsbridge boutique is more a mild shock. It appears that the man behind the typeface, Ben Eine, has now lent his talents to that purveyor of posh handbags and New Tory darling, Anya Hindmarch, emblazoning her wares with tongue-in-cheek slogans such as "loot" and "booty".
If Eine's art has any sort of political bent, even a lame Banksy-ish expression of discontent, it's not apparent, so perhaps the hook-up is not unnatural. But it rather confirms the suspicion that most of the urban artists who reach a wider public are dabbling, Marie Antoinette-style, on the streets of Hackney until they can cash in and buy a house in Holland Park.
On Hindmarch's part it looks like a neat piece of Tory rebranding. After fetishising the canvas bag as a green status symbol with her "I'm not a plastic bag" shopper, Hindmarch is out to prove that you can appreciate all things gritty and urban without leaving W1. I wonder if Mrs Thatcher, a hero of the designer and the inspiration for a fair amount of graffiti in her day, would approve?"
