I'm currently in Seattle for a few days, relocating my daughter as she continues her pursuit of a life of farming, and exploring a city I've never been to. For the first 10 years of Moop, I barely traveled. Last year, I started to explore a bit and am trying to make it a much bigger part of my life. I've worked really hard to get to a place where I have a team of people around me helping me build the very best bags, and have stopped ignoring the need to get out of my bubble and see the world and just find a way to make it happen...it makes me a better designer and business person. For instance, Seattle, you need to carry our bags! They're very water resistant! I've only been rained on since I arrived! But, everyone here is acclimated and walking around with a smile on their face, drenched with water. It’s such an embrace of the environment, everything just keeps on going and I love it. The rain will stop, you will get dry, adventures will happen, you'll meet great people, you’ll be constantly learning and will evolve in positive ways.
So, to celebrate adventures and bags that will keep your things dry and years and years of building a life of making things and having some of the best experiences along the way and always moving forward, we're having a sale! 15% off with the code: BIRTHDAYSFOREVER
And, if you see us around Seattle this weekend, please say hello!!
So much love and gratitude,
Wendy
