Item Description

Read This Story and Get a Bonus!*

These are the same canvas bags you have seen at Dane Buy Local, Willy Street Co-op, Troy Gardens, the Community Food and Garden Network, Regent Market Coop, and Dane County Timebank.

But let us digress. Was it Gertude Stein who wrote "A rose is a rose is a rose?" In this case, we point to the opposite-a tote bag is not just a bag, especially in this case. There is a great story about these, and you can be part of it.

Why get 3 canvas tote bags? Why bid high rather than low? Because you can help Yamuna, Ramya, and nine other women we know in far away Sri Lanka earn living wages to support their families, and help community service projects and non-profits here in Wisconsin.

Great for groceries, books, Farmer's Market purchases... 35 lbs or more! Long straps make them easy to carry over your shoulder. Reduce your use of brown bags and plastic.

*Now here's the best part. Maybe by getting five tote bags, you'll get the idea that, say, 100 or 500 bags with the logo of your cause or organization might be a wonderful fundraising and promotional tool. Think of it. You could have hundreds of people promoting something important just by carrying things in these bags!

Contact us at 608-265-4077.  *Oh.  We almost forgot about the bonus: A Noodles & Company Tic Tac Toe card. Winner gets a free bowl.  When you buy any noodles, salad, soup or Trio at Noodles, you get one of equal or lesser value FOR FREE. 



 

 

Item Special Note

"Hmmm..." muses the CEO of the multinational non-profit conglomerate Story In the Bag, Inc.  Should we charge more, like Nieman Marcus? No.

...or less, to see if we can move these bags faster and faster because of high pressure pricing strategies?  

No. We shall take the middle path.  Keep the business going so that at each stage of the process someone does well.  What we're really after, in the long run, is a social venture capitalist or philanthropist willing to invest (or loan) $1,000-$5,000.  Like alchemists, we can turn that into gold for someone other than ourselves. 

What an idea!  Contact us 608-345-0750
