This year, you can get your hands on a selection of brand new aprons, designed by a collective of 11 artists in aid of Comic Relief and Red Nose Day 2022.

The aprons, and an additional homeware collection, feature special designs from a range of artists including Gemma Correll, Gok Wan, Rachel Joy, and Luke Christian’s Deaf Identity.

Similar collections have raised money for the charity in the past but this year’s collection for Homesense and TK Maxx features designs by artists from different disciplines, communities and backgrounds, including street artists, graphic designers and illustrators.

The limited edition collection also includes tote bags, greetings cards, notebooks and tea towels, all featuring the artists’ work. Limited-edition T-shirts featuring the artists’ designs are also be available.
