Boys and their Bonna Bags

Because boys like Bonna Bags too...

In the Studio

I'm in the studio this week working on the next batch of bags. So far I've painted about 120 panels for the jumbo and tiny totes and have about 40 of each left to go. I hope to finish painting the rest this week so that I can heat set them in time to drop off at the factory on August 14th. These sizes should be available to purchase by the end of August. In the below photo you will see two panels (jumbo and tiny tote) as well as two sample bags for size reference. The jumbo totes are made of 80% recycled cotton and 20% recycled plastic bottles and the tiny totes are made of 100% recycled plastic bottles.

painting and selling

It has been a very busy week. I'm in the process of painting the next 200 bags (so far I've finished about 40) and I've started selling the flat totes at http://bonnabag.etsy.com

I'll be adding more bags to the etsy site soon so check back frequently. Here are some more photos of my lovely models for your enjoyment:

Liz is overjoyed about her Bonna Bag while Emily sulks about her non-Bonna bag's lack of pizazz.

Molly doesn't mind that her bike has no pedals because she is so thrilled to be carrying a Bonna Bag.

Bonna Bag Models

I would like to thank everyone who modeled bags for me this weekend!!! We did a photo shoot yesterday in downtown Brattleboro, VT. Now I have tons of images of people wearing Bonna bags while strolling down the street, buying groceries, perusing books, playing in the garden, and just hanging out with friends. When I post the bags on etsy.com buyers will be able to see photos of people wearing the bags and get a sense of size. Here is a preview of the shoot:

What you've all been waiting for...

I'd like to present the Bonna Bag flat tote!!!! The tote measures 13'' (w) x 14'' (h) and has a 5'' x 5'' pocket on the inside. The handles come in four different colors: black, green, yellow, and pink. Later in the summer I will also have a jumbo tote and tiny tote option. The bags are not online to purchase yet, but I thought you might want to see a few. I hope to have them ready to sell by the end of next week. Enjoy!
