Awww shucks guys, you are too kind!

The best part of making custom-made bags is the final step … pressing the finished bag, writing a personalized note and lovingly wrapping the bag in our signature red tissue paper (100% recycled of course!) It’s my favorite part because I imagine the feeling you will have when opening the box and meeting your custom-made bag for the first time. Seeing your design come to life – and then getting a million compliments on it – is really the best part.

We’ve been getting a whole lot of love from you guys recently and I just had to share some testimonials from people who met their new custom-made bags and fell in love. We used to put images of the bags next to the testimonials, but frankly we’ve been too busy to take pictures before the bags are sent. So, just your lovely words will do … read on and feel the love.

Exciting news to pass along today … our small little business got a great big write up from one hip website! I have been a long-time reader of the fabulous site Pink is the New Blog … if you like gossip, entertainment news, and honest reviews written with a fun twist, you will love reading Trent Vanegas’ blog. I approached Trent a few months back to make a bag for his friend Emma, who just got engaged. Emma designed her bag with her fiancé Josh and here’s what she thought of it:

“We got my bag and LOVE it! Thank you so much. Truly. It was really exciting to see our design come to life, and I have used it a lot in the last two days. I’ve gotten at least five compliments on it from people too. Cool, huh?”

As if that wasn’t fun enough, Trent went one step further and wrote about our adventure on PITNB! It is so exciting to be a part of his fantastic site, and Trent could not be any cooler.

eThreads rePurpose Testimonial: Trina J.

emily — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 00:40:24 +0000

We recently launched eThreads rePurpose, a service in which we turn your old favorite t-shirts, jackets, blankets, etc… into fabulous new bags! Trina J. sent us two amazing pieces that she picked up in Japan – a large square tapestry and small scarf – to be transformed into new bags:

We had just enough fabric to create the Ruffle Tote and Kiss Frame Purse for Trina and here are the results…

Trina was very happy with the bags:

“I got it!!! I absolutely love them!!! I will carry them with pride. Thank you so much. I am sure I will be telling your story to many many people.”

Thank you Trina! Do you have a favorite item of clothing or piece of fabric? Let us make you a fabulous new bag! Send an email to emily@elementalthreads.com for more info.
