OAK

So I haven't actually had a chance to get to Boston yet, but I sent one of my trusty Bonna Bag supporters over to OAK to check out the store and how the bags are doing. They were having a grand opening sale that weekend, as you can see by the sale sign hanging above the bags. If you're in Boston and get a chance to go stop by, the store is located at 31 Gloucester st.

Burma Artluck

On Friday night a Bonna Bag could be seen hanging on the wall of Columbia University's Potluck House as part of their "Artluck". The organizers described the event as:

[ARTLUCK] is a night of visual, video, performance, and everything
else art at Potluck House, a communal space for the communal-ing of
artists, gourmands, and activists alike. The event is a fundraiser,
aimed at raising awareness about human rights abuses in Burma. All
proceeds will go to a school in Mae Plah Tah, a village in eastern
Burma.

A Flat Tote Bonna Bag was among the art being raffled off that night and one lucky Columbia student walked home with this bag:

This week Bonna Bag goes to Asia. Here are some photos of Sara and her Bonna Bag in India.

Coming Soon to a Store Near You

Well... Only if you live in Boston or New York. But hey, it's a start.

Bonna Bags are now available in two stores! So for all of you who are hesitant about ordering things online you can now go to a store and check out the bags in person. Plus, you can also browse items by some other great designers!

In NYC:

The bags are currently available at Kate Goldwater's recycled clothing store, AuH2O, in the East Village. The store is located at 84 E 7th St (between 1st and 2nd Avenues).



In Boston:

Within the next week Bonna Bags will be available at Keara Sexton's brand new store OAK (short for "One of A Kind"), located at 31 Gloucester St. (at the corner of Newbury).

Our second installment of Bonna Bags in Action features Jenn strolling the streets of Manhattan with her Bonna Bag in tow and is accompanied by an anecdote I received via email while I was in New Zealand:

"we were out partying in the east village and i was walking and saw a BONNA BAG, turned around and it was jenn. so i want you to know, even when you're far away, bonna bags are bringing people together all over the world." -Lizzie
