Sweet Confections

If there’s another thing apart from bags that can make girls swoon and sigh collectively and perhaps squeal in delight, it’s cupcakes. They’re one of those things that we absolutely adore! So when Mei of Boutique Cupcakes approached The Bag Bar to design the fabric equivalent of their sweet confections as their outlet opening’s gift bags, we found it hard to resist, just like their cupcakes :)

Looking through their gallery of the adorable treats for inspiration for the bags, it’s hard not to be hit with a Kawaii moment ( and an instant sugar rush! ), what with the pinks and pastels. We thought pink would be a great theme so we went with that and made it the dominant colour. We also really wanted the bags to remind of Parisian cafes, liquorice and candy bars, so we threw in some black and white stripes too. To top it off, they’re also reversible, showing off more pink awesomeness!

These highly-customised bags complete with logo are to be given to special guests ( lucky people! ) as gift bags during the opening of Boutique Cupcakes’s outlet at Lintas Station, Kota Kinabalu on 10.10.10. We’re told the interior’s going to be decked out in the colour pink too. Do look out for that, it’s gonna be sweet :)

Birdie Bag has flown the coop!

KK Twestival 2010 has come and gone last Thursday, and it went very well indeed. I know some of you guys have been anxious about the outcome and have even written to enquire about it. We promise to give out more details as we get it but right now we can confirm that the Birdie Bag has been auctioned off successfully at the final bid price of……… RM300! We at The Bag Bar were very excited and nervous before the auction as we really wanted it to do well towards the overall money to be raised but our nerves were proven unfounded when it far exceeded our own expectations, becoming the TOP-BIDDED item of the night! Thank you to pretty Connie, whom we hope will enjoy her bag very much.

Right now Twestival 2010 has confirmed that RM6330 has been raised in that one night alone. Isn’t that awesome? Great news and a job well-done to the organisers! The Bag Bar was very honoured to be asked to be a part of it.

Birdie Bag is ready for Twestival 2010!

The Birdie Bag for the KK Twestival 2010 has landed!

It’s not often that we get to tell the story of a bag but with the custom-designed Birdie Bag, there’s the tree, a chirpy bird in the spirit of Twitter, and the earth in a cool concoction of cotton, corduroy and natural canvas in a vibrant mesh of colours. ( I think there’s enough Cs in there! :)) A ONE-OFF bag specially made for this event, it’s a bag that tells the story of our relationship with the earth and the immediate world around us, and reminds us of what we can do, no matter how small a gesture,  to help it.
