Teaser...

something in development.

New Ribbons.

We're adding two new series of ribbons for Spring - the first is One and a Half inch Satin in six gorgeous colors, including those above - look for all six on the website in the next week.

The second set we'll be getting in eight, bright, perfect for Summer colors including Lime Juice and Sherbet - but you'll hear more about those in April when they arrive.

In the meantime we're adding some new light floral fabrics we'll preview over the next week on the blog and then look forward to them being available for ordering on the website.

And there's even more more extra special surprise in the form of a new - full sized bag coming Very Soon!!!

As promised...

<-The interior -> The exterior - below



Almost ready to go on the website - just little alterations to perfect the templates this coming week so each seam and each pocket and each fold is Just Right!!!

It is a long process to make sure that each new item we add to the collection is designed for the utmost usefulness, beauty and longevity... I'm glad to finally be able to say that we have this little number nailed down.

I can't think of one single thing we could add, rearrange, or change to make it more effective or efficient - so now we send it out into the wild world and hope it leads a happy life...

if only we had a name for it...



that's coming soon too.

More - little things.

Or at least - bigger than really little, but more little that big - things will be coming to a myHERObag website near you!!!

We're adding a still little, but larger than the other two, zippered case - a great size for keeping smaller items together inside of a suitcase or weekend bag while traveling.

And I'll have photos of the new wallet up just as soon as they're taken... by the end of the week at the latest - so look forward to that new addition as well.

How many cards do you carry around???

Between my driver's license, credit card, debit card, store membership cards, library card, insurance card - I have more cards than I know what to do with - and more cards than I have slots in my wallet...

so, for all you other lovely ladies out there who need to carry around more cards than you can shake a stick at - we'll shortly be debuting a redesigned wallet by myHERObag.

For those who remember our previous one - our new redesign will have the same full sized tri-fold dimensions - but that's where the similarities end. Once you open it up, you'll see we started by doubled the number of card slots, then added a zippered pocket for change, enough places to slide in cash, receipts and a check book (or small calender) and finished it all off with a big magnetic snap - so you can stuff it full to bursting and know it will keep everything together, no problem!!!

And best yet - it can be monogrammed with your initials, embroidered with military insignia, or made with an old uniform or clothing item from a loved one. You'll have all the same options for personalization as our other, larger bags and accessories.


Hopefully I'll have a little sneak peak for you all early next week - when we finish up the final prototypes - and then look for it added to our ordering pages on the website soon after!!!

Little things.

A little sneak peak... these will be available on the website soon.

College education for the children of fallen soldiers.

The second organization myHERObag will donate to during 2008, under our 1% for America program is the Special Operations Warrior Foundation.

Their Mission Statement -

"The Special Operations Warrior Foundation (SOWF) was founded in 1980 to serve members of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps Special Operations community. A tax-exempt 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization, SOWF is dedicated to providing free college scholarships and educational counseling to the children surviving Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps Special Operations personnel who are killed in a training accident or operational mission."

Working since 1980-

We're pleased to be adding them in 2008 to our list of charities that we support, because they work to make our country stronger.
