bags, bags and more custom bags. can one ever have enough?

Well I can tell you one thing. This subject is constantly a matter of debate in my home. My husband believes that one can in fact have too many custom bags. Too many bags, and too many pairs of shoes. Another subject I passionately disagree with him on. So with that said, giving custom bags to clients, employees, friends and family is both good business practice and a kind gesture. The very nature of a stylish bag or tote lends itself to a wealth of uses, and giving a practical product guarantees repeat brand exposure. And seriously. You really can never have too custom many bags!

can custom bags be lifesavers?

Apparently some custom bags truly can be. This water bottle bag is sure to be a lifesaver for those "vacationing" in the desert. While your typical day to day events may not be cause for a bag this extreme, keeping bags on hand for incidental events is a really good practice. I keep a stash in my car at all times. Whether for an impromptu trip to the grocery store or for those situations where I just can’t possibly carry everything I need, custom bags have a way of coming in handy. Now my grocery bags may never have actually saved my life, but I guess you never know.

from custom tees to custom bags

Custom bags don’t always begin their lives as bags. In today’s society some of the cutest, most innovative bags are up-cycled from other everyday items. Old t-shirts are some of the most common mediums for recycled custom bags. Because of the durable nature of apparel, old clothing can easily be cut, stitched and otherwise reworked into a fashionable new bag or tote. Keep this premise in mind when considering buying a new bag. Are you feeling crafty? Consider designing your own bag out of those old blue jeans buried in the bottom of your drawer. Artsy not your middle name? There are tons of places to buy these one of a kind products. Just keep an eye out and your mind open. The options for creativity are endless!
