This week, we have been cleaning out our sample room. This is one of the many unglamorous parts of a start-up that they don't write about in magazines. We are always schlepping stuff. Our bags are lightweight, but when you are moving 20 at a time that is a different story!  We spent afternoons sifting through our first sewing samples, boxes of rejected hardware and some leftover invitations from our first event (yes, that wonderful launch party hosted by our great friend Benna when we sold 600 bags in 2 hours all while sipping wine and chatting with our friends). 

Anyway, during our organization frenzy, we found one of our early creations - a gorgeous floral patterned wide tote with chocolate straps. It was a little dusty, but, it is a MY bag so we just wiped it off!  Since we often get a call from a customer looking for one of those vintage bags and we are now excited to give this one to a lucky MY bagista.  

Our customers love to share their MY stories with us and some of them are funny, some a little gross, but all of them of value to us as we design MY bags to last a considerably longer than your average bag.  So if you have a great story, comment or testimonial about your MY product, post it as a comment to this blog.  We will choose a winner from the postings next week and you could win the MY "blast from the past" vintage bag pictured below. 

Can't wait to read your stories!

Good luck,

I would love to win this vintage beauty with a fabulous story about some wild and crazy adventures I had with my kooky side kick all while carrying an MY favorite. Afterall, I am a mom, business owner, wife, maid, taxi driver (the tips are lousy BTW),PTO President, friend, volunteer and a gym junkie still carrying the last 10 pounds!  
 
 
 
But the real truth is I am a true "bag lady" and just love, love, love the MY collections.  
 
 
 
Although my life may be filled with ordinary things, it is exactly those ordinary moments that make my life mine and one that is always full of poosibilities. Using all of my MY pods helps keep me calm, cool and collected while looking stylish and unique! Thanks MY!

You found my bag ! No, really, you found my bag !!! This is one of those earlier MY Oilcloth patterns that I feel a twinge of sadness everytime I see. I always say... 
 
" Oh, I love that one. How long ago 
 
did you get it ? Do you think they will ever bring that look back?" 
 
I am the one at the trunk shows who 
 
always asks if you might have just one or two more of that great floral print with the green background....just wishfully thinking that maybe, maybe...you will find my bag.

Part II 
 
I forgot to mention that the current patterns are just as wonderful, and I don't know what I would do without my chocolate filigree bags. My duffle has stayed 
 
looking new throughout many ferry 
 
trips and the compliments keep coming !!!! Thanks MY Oilcloth !!!
