The Royal Wedding Sickbag Story...



A young graphic designer and print maker has created one of the most unusual and fantastic souvenirs for the impending Royal Wedding - what do you need the most on this special day….yes a sick bag! After many months of tedious media coverage and now the release of US-made movie dramatisation ‘Will and Kate’, I think many people will be pleased when all the hype has died down.

Lydia Leith designed the official looking retro airline sick bag after hearing many friends say how ‘sick’ they were of hearing about it and soon thought of the witty pun ‘throne up’. Leith comes from a creative background as her father is an Illustrator and her mother a crafts tutor and she has now become well known worldwide designing this memorable piece in the royal history of must-have souvenirs.



Leith originally made only 260 sick bags that sold out in a matter of days, but has gone on to sell the blue and red designs in all corners of the world and has had amazing feedback from royal loving tourists and royal hating punks.

The 24 year old explained the money she receives from this project will fund her new ideas so she can continue making her own designs in the future. For your own special royal sick bag for Friday 29th April, order online at www.lydialeith.com and check out her other wonderfully unique illustrations, screen prints and packaging designs.
