There is nothing we love more than seeing what our creative community can make with a new product, and our recent Game Day Bag Making Contest did not disappoint!
To celebrate the launch of our new Checkered Webbing, we challenged makers to create a bag inspired by their favorite teams, sports, and game day traditions. The results were incredible. From football-inspired designs to team spirit totes and sporty crossbody bags, every entry brought a unique perspective to the challenge.
We were blown away by the creativity, craftsmanship, and attention to detail showcased in each project. Thank you to everyone who participated and shared your talent with us!
Congratulations to Our Grand Prize Winner!
