Like a Virgin…Atlantic: Bags, Big Breaks, and a Little Purple Magic

Like a Virgin…Atlantic: Bags, Big Breaks, and a Little Purple Magic
Me, post-photography session. Good grief - when did I get so old?!

Hey hey, my lovelies!

I hope you’re all feeling fabulous and revving up for the festive season… although if you’re anything like me, you’re probably wondering how on earth it’s November already. I swear it was two minutes ago that the studio was hotter than, Satan’s perineum (you’re welcome for that little visual), with perfect light streaming in for bag photos… and now I’m here, frantically keeping the dog from terrorising trick-or-treaters and trying to figure out what Christmas offerings to make for you all!

PR Adventures: Trial and Error (and One Brilliant Win!)

Speaking of terrifying… Remember in my last blog post that I mentioned emailing a dog in a desperate attempt to gain some attention for my little fledgling business? Well I was absolutely inundated with one query, asking if the dog ever got back to me. Well… no. She didn’t (rude bitch).

Well, I continued with my quest and have sent out what feels like a million emails to various magazines, pimping out my bags like a hawker of ill-gotten gains. But you know what? Persistence pays off! I was lucky enough to grab the attention of Shropshire Life Magazine. Not only that, but they want to do an actual feature on me - gulp. So then I had 2 problems:

This may or may not be an actual image of a Virgin Atlantic plane, showing off one of my gorgeous bags*. Slay! * It’s not.
Look, mum! I’m almost, kinda, sorta famous! Well, not famous, but maybe like viral… in a non-digital sense. Man… I wish you were here to see this mum. I miss you
Update - Digital Gift Cards are now available in the online store!
SHOW ME THE BAGS!

Until next time...
