Rainbow flag 'GWR' drawstring bag. Given out at Swansea Pride, Saturday 30 April 2022. Collected to show the range of free promotional and advocacy material available at Pride events.

Rectangular bag made from two pieces of synthetic material printed in diagonal stripes of the six rainbow flag colours red to purple, with additional stripes in black and brown to add people of colour and the blue, pink and white to include the transgender colours. The bag has printed text in black and white relating to Great Western Railway. The bag was machine stitched using blue thread. The turn-back edges are raw. A channel is stitched along the top opening for the insertion of two white synthetic draw strings. Each string is knotted and is fed through a white synthetic tab which is held in the lower side seam of the bag: this enables the bag to be worn as a backpack.
