Small businesses with a great story are a favorite here on jasmere. Today we bring you a little company out of Burlington, Vermont with eco-friendly bags that get people talking. When we zipped around with our sample we got lots of comments and questions, giving us that small town feel and a lot of fun interactions. There is just something about a Flashbag that folks can connect too.
Carry a conversation.
Flashbags has an uncanny knack for using images that are intriguing and interesting. They take simple color prints of art, photos, and other decorative designs and layer them with old newspaper to make a bag that defies its humble insides. A great example of repurposing, the final stack is laminated and machine stitched for a durable tote that will get people talking. A fresh take on quilted totes, all the layers are sewn together in loops and swirls that add a fun and fresh note to the final, fashionable product!
Your photos here.
Because they work in small batches, Flashbags is pleased to offer a custom experience. They’ll take your digital images and give them that unique Flashbag treatment. Offbeat pics of your kids being silly or artsy landscapes you’ve snapped of special places are all great candidates for today’s feature. Whatever photo (or drawing!) you choose can become a Large Box Tote - perfect for both work and play.
Or if you’d like to see the images the creative geniuses at Flashbags have gathered up, take advantage of our Bonus Feature for a $40 voucher. They have an extensive gallery which makes selection easy (we take that back - with so much selection, choosing just one can be a challenge!).
Flashbags are fashion, not free advertising.
If you’ve ever tucked away a shopping bag from a fancy boutique, you’ll really love having a Flashbag. More durable than anything made of paper, one of the best features of Flashbags is the sturdy stiffness that lets you tote and stow the little things you move from here to there. Reach for a Flashbag when you want to ferry something to the car, or drop off something you’ve borrowed. That stiff shape can accommodate a hodgepodge that would be a disaster in a lesser bag.
Have Flashbags transform your images into a bag that will show them off in a unique way. They’re not doing much for anyone sitting on your memory card or hard drive, put them to work shlepping your stuff, courtesy of today's special offer!
Hear from the owner
"Our customers love Flashbags because they evoke emotion- a connection to something that matters most to an individual, and provide an opportunity to share with others this love- whether art, a special place, a child, a message, or a mission."
Ali Marchildon and Laura Cheney, Co-Founders, Flashbags
Product Description
What conversation do you want to be having? What statement do you want your bag to make? We’re guessing it’s not “I shop at this store,” or “I’m a walking billboard.” Your style is more than any one brand and Flashbags helps you say that out loud for all the world to see.
Through our Bonus Feature today, you can purchase stackable (combinable) $40 vouchers so you can choose a Flashbag that will turn heads and make a statement you’re proud to wear. The variety of shapes, sizes and styles will give you plenty of ways to express yourself. Imagine swapping out your beat up, basic black carry-all tote and replacing it with a bag that really says something about your style.
You can select from the work of Iconic Images, Flash Designs, Wearable Art from American artists, and the lovely line of Benefit Bags which each support a different cause; we’re sure you’ll find one that speaks to you. Each design comes in a variety of shapes and sizes, and stackable vouchers will allow you to choose your favorite - or favorites! Or, use your voucher to create a custom clutch, wallet or small tote featuring your favorite photo.
