Who doesn’t appreciate a good Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure reference?
You may (or may not) have noticed that some things are changing on the website, and in the content of emails, announcements, etc. If you are keeping track, here’s what’s going on: Her Niche Products is going to be gradually morphing into an Eco Co-Op, with the company Bagonia taking over operations of the Bagonia and Birch bags.
There are a lot of exciting partnerships in the works, with companies such as Jiva and with bloggers such as bikebythesea.com. I am really excited about the future direction of the company and thank everyone for continued support. Please let me know if you have any questions, ideas, etc. I’m always open to feedback.
More announcements will be coming up very soon. Stay tuned and thanks for reading!
Cheers,
Nichole MacDonald
Bagonia, Founder and Designer

To materialize the new line, the Her Niche team heads to Los Angeles. The smog is low and our vision clear when we arrive in the Fashion District.
Not a mall, not a Main Street, and not even a Farmer’s Market, the Fashion District is the opposite of design; it is disorder and chaos. And at the same time it simple. There is a place for zippers and a place for hardware, a place for textiles and a place for sewing. I imagine a venture to Candyland aims only to find milk, nuts, sugar, and cocoa!

For some girls, diamonds make their heart skip a beat. For me, a shiny bicycle does the same. The simple, elegant design of a bicycle compliments a woman: a delicate frame, its light swiftness, and modest tone speak volumes. And while one cycles, it seems time stops and luck greets her. She descends from the bike stronger and healthier.

How many times have we said…“If only we had a camera crew following us around?” Well maybe now we will. The Her Niche girls have been approached by Red Varden Studios to potentially be subjects for a reality show that would show the “in’s and out’s” of our professional and personal lives. So what does this mean? Read the rest of this entry »

Oh where, oh where does time go? Seriously, one second it’s April and the next it’s the end of May. We have so much to share but we’ll keep it to the highlights…
The Earth Day promotion with The Tonight Show with Jay Leno was a success. We received lots of positive feedback from the show and are still amazed that we landed that opportunity.
