As you know, we promote sustainability and conscientious shopping in everything we do. Over the years we have struggled with the environmental burden created by the paper shopping bags we use here in the store. Originally we used a bag that was saturated in black dye, a brand advancement technique that was soon outweighed by the thought of all those needless chemicals. In an attempt to further incentivize conservation, each time a customer uses their own bag or declines to use one of our plain kraft bags, we donate twenty-five cents to DonorsChoose, a charity organization that helps fund education programs. This past summer perhaps you were one of the lucky few to pick up a limited edition Tree Tote created from salvaged tees.
Our latest effort is perhaps the most exciting: a reusable, washable tote, made from raw cotton canvas. Emblazoned with an original design featuring words of inspiration and encouragement, this tote makes a powerful statement – literally! The attractive shoulder straps leave plenty of room to sling it over your shoulder, even when you’re bundled up in the cold. Two small tabs at the opening serve to snap it shut when toting, or to secure it in a compact roll when not in use – perfect for throwing into your purse or back seat.
You will want to keep this spacious tote handy – not only will it be endlessly useful in your daily errands, it will also save you 15% on any full-priced in-store purchase through February 28th, 2012. Come grab yours soon, quantities are limited!
