Carry a piece of history everywhere you go!
The Ulster Hall has been Belfast’s Home of Rock ’n’ Roll since 1862. We believe great venues should leave great legacies and this year, during renovations, instead of sending retired stage drapes from across our venues to landfill, we have given them a second act.
For this limited-edition tote bag has been produced in collaboration with Titanic Denim (RESCUED), a multi-award-winning luxury sustainable denim brand based in Belfast.
To complete the transformation, we asked Belfast illustrator Thomas Bannon to create exclusive artwork that crowns the iconic venue, flashes back to 1862 and frames a guitar pick Hall of Fame surrounded by names that have shaken these walls, from Led Zeppelin, Rory Gallagher and Thin Lizzy to Stiff Little Fingers, U2, Metallica, The Prodigy and more.
The heritage of our venues in every stitch
These unique totes save premium textiles from landfill while supporting local makers and creative jobs. They are practical and durable with strong handles, a roomy interior and a dependable finish, yet each has its own character because the fabric has lived a life before yours. Made locally, they reduce transport impact and keep our commitment to people, prosperity and the planet right at your side. Most of all, they carry a story of the space that has hosted generations of legendary performances.
