Think about it: The average shopper uses an estimated 260 plastic produce bags each year. Okay, we’ll admit it, this was an area of being green that we, Michele and Yvette, hadn’t considered. Of course, that was until we were introduced to Christine Fiske, who is CEO and founder of Bite – Sustainable Storage Solutions. Her company makes reusable produce bags that are machine washable. Great idea, right?
So, want to have the perfect green shopping trip? Grab a few of your Bite Bags, throw them in a MY Wide Tote and walk to the nearest farmers’ market. Feel good about being kind to the earth.
To celebrate Earth day, Christine is giving a sweet deal to MY customers. Get 30% off all products on www.sustainablebite.com for one week (Earth Day, April 22nd, until April 29th). Use the code MY30.
Creativity is our life and our business. Chobee Hoy, a MY bag fan, real estate expert and community philanthropist, asked us to participate in the Brookline Arts Center Palette project, a show displaying artists' palettes in shops, offices and restaurants throughout Brookline.
So imagine it, we're sitting here with literally a blank slate between us on our partners desk and all we can think about is handbags - Oilcloth handbags, totes and accessories of course, because that's our world! Sophie, Yvette's daughter, had an idea to put our patterns where the paint would normally be on a palette. We liked the idea and it was a catalyst to do what we do best; make handbags. A few hours later the metamorphosis was complete and the once blank palette emerged as a unique handbag. It donned a 54" %100 nylon black strap, MY's signature tangerine fabric, branded chrome hardware and the familiar MY label.
So peek inside Chobee's office window when you are strolling though Brookline Village or visit Chobee's facebook page to see our palette and many others.
Best,
