Designer bags invite donations

TWO fashion designers have created a limited edition bag to encourage more people to donate clothes to a Burford charity shop.

The bags, made by designers Antoni & Alison, and carrying the slogan Sue Needs Your Help, are available from the Sue Ryder Care shop, in High Street, Burford.

Nationally, the charity needs to raise £13m a year to provide specialist care for people with conditions including cancer, multiple sclerosis, and Huntingdon's disease.

Anyone who brings back a full bag of donations will be entered into a prize draw to win some designer clothes and a subscription to the magazine Elle.

Victoria Glover, from the charity, said: "I really hope people will dig deep into their wardrobes."
