NBC Interview
April 21st, 2009The Earth Day Countdown Continues…
April 10th, 2009We’re less than two weeks away from Earth Day and our to-do list doesn’t seem to be shrinking. Hmm… Production is officially on, the new bags are turning out even better than we hoped. We’ve pulled together some really cool ways to add even more eco-friendly elements to the bags. The men’s bags will be lined with sails reclaimed from boats in San Diego. And we’re collecting hardware scraps from the Fountain Bleu Casino in Las Vegas (currently under construction) to incoprporate into the bags. These scraps and sails would have otherwise ended up in a landfill, but instead they are turned into beautiful elements in our handbag line. Read the rest of this entry »
Props to Prophetik!
April 2nd, 2009Prophetik, based in Nashville (of all places) is gaining headlines worldwide due to its commitment to fashioning garments out of eco-friendly materials like raw cotton and silk, and employing paint-splatter patterns made by woe-be-gone Thai elephants who are gradually being eliminated because machines now do their heavy lifting.

March 28th, 2009Everything is starting to come together…Today was a really exciting day! NAMTRA Media sent over the design of the new Bagonia website.

Her Niche is “The Bomb” Literally
March 20th, 2009Friday night we went to the IVY for ECO Love and the launch of The N3TWORK. The event was supposed to be an eco-friendly networking event/ party for San Diego’s fabulous eco scene. When we got there we enjoyed some acai vodka martini’s and mojito’s and came to realize that the cocktails were the only “eco” aspect of the event. This was minorly annoying…so many people throw one small “green friendly” thing into their event or product and Read the rest of this entry »

Funny thing, the woman who owns the coffee shop looked at Nichole’s ID, Googled her and found our blog to let her know that she had it. If that wasn’t cool enough she actually remembers seeing Read the rest of this entry »
