Welsh designers are being given a unique opportunity to design bespoke items for the Wales Coast Path’s bespoke 10th anniversary merchandise collection.
The announcement was made today (Monday, June 6) by merchandise creators Promotional Warehouse.
“Our idea is to encourage people to just be themselves when thinking about a design, and to focus on what the Wales Coast Path represents to them,” said Dafydd Oritt. “We want people to be as free as they choose and just work with their own particular style.”
The collection currently features a wide range of sustainable clothing and accessories, from t-shirts, hoodies and hats to pint glasses, tote bags and notebooks. But now Promotional Warehouse wants to include food and drink, jewellery and artwork ranges.
Designs can include anything from a quick sketch of a wave hitting the shores to a new take on the Path’s existing shell logo. All Wales Coast Path asks is that each design fits within the dimensions of a square.
“Since its official opening in 2012, the Wales Coast Path has established itself as a beacon of Wales’s natural beauty, so we were keen to commemorate this milestone with something tangible, for our visitors to keep through years to come,” said Eve Nicholson, from the Wales Coast Path marketing team.
“But the 10th anniversary isn’t just about celebrating the Path — it’s about celebrating Wales as a whole.”
To be considered, entrants are encouraged to submit their designs to wcp@cyfoethnaturiolcymru.gov.uk before midnight on 30 June.
The winning entrant will be given the opportunity to collaborate with Promotional Warehouse on the creation of a bespoke range of products, with exact details of the partnership to be negotiated upon awarding the winner. Full details can be found on the Wales Coast Path website.
To protect the natural environment, the products should use biodegradable and eco-friendly materials and packaging, and each purchase contributes towards the conservation of the 870-mile path for future generations to enjoy.”
