MY oilcloth and creativity: Thinking outside the Palette.

  
  
  
  
  
  
  

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,

Michele and Yvette of MY oilcloth inc.

What a wonderful way to become part of this great project!! Can I assume that a new pallette bag will follow? 
Have been wondering about the florals I saw in your China pictures.

I wish I had one for the art parade this Saturday in New Paltz - the theme is Come As You Art. 
Which is right? 
a) I love it! 
b) I love it! 
c) All of the above.
