E&KO Bags

Posted on | July 22, 2009 | No Comments

Have you seen our E&KO bags?  Wow they’re good.  Really, good.  We had to order them, sight-unseen (because we ran out of time getting the shop ready), but when they arrived we were over the moon.  “Woohoo!”, we cried, “That’s the moon underneath us!”

They are very, very well made, and all local to the UK, so the carbon overheads are minimal.  They re-use ‘waste’ firehose from London, and 50% of the profits they make from us buying the bags goes to support their fire-fighter’s charity in London.  Kresse Wesling, who founded the company, says this is ‘closing the loop’. If you want to see more on her work, you can find some of her short talks on YouTube.  We’re just happy that they’ve made such a good job with their bags.  We get to sell stuff that we’re proud about, and you get to buy a bag that is really special, in so many ways.
