Can you find the Bonna Bag?

Recently I've noticed Bonna Bags popping up in photos on facebook. In these shots the bag is not the center of attention, but just a part of the person's everyday life. Can you spot the Bonna Bag in these photos?

Ok, you got me. No Bonna Bag in this shot. I just think it's an amazing photo of my dad and his grandparents.

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:

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).
