A GLASGOW student has used fashion and creativity to raise money for a popular cancer charity. 

Glasgow Caledonian fashion student, Isabel Marinho, has created a tartan bucket hat to raise funds for Beatson Cancer Charity. 

The design, which incorporates Beatson's official tartan, was handpicked by judges after students were asked to pitch ideas for lifestyle products that can be manufactured locally and sold to raise funds.

Isabel said: "The idea behind my product range was to reflect the journey cancer patients, their families and friends go through.

"I have a personal connection to the charity because every woman in my family has had breast cancer.

"I never thought one of my products would be sold one day, it's overwhelming."

"As the University for the Common Good, we're delighted to see our students make a real difference and help such a worthwhile cause."​

Isabel's creation is now being sold online for £35.
