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.

The Birdie Bag

For the bag that we’re doing for the KK Twestival this Thursday, we’re kinda thinking, why not mix things up a bit? Every TBB bag has been known to have carefully selected and matched fabrics so this time, we’re gonna throw in all our favourite cotton prints and colours and voila! I think we’re onto a truly eclectic and whimsical cotton concoction!

And what’s a Twitter Festival without the little blue bird hey? We googled ‘Twitter’ and found this cute birdie bird, and really,  a cute birdie applique would really make the day methinks!

I think we’re gonna have to call it The Birdie Bag now :))

The Bag Bar is proud to be a part of the inaugural Twestival in Kota Kinabalu!

What is Twestival?

On Thursday 25 March 2010, people in hundreds of cities around the world will come together offline to rally around the important cause of Education by hosting local events to have fun and create awareness.  Twestival™ (or Twitter Festival) uses social media for social good.  All of the local events are organized 100% by volunteers and 100% of all ticket sales and donations go direct to projects. Go to the official KK Twestival site for more information on how you can get involved!

Just for this occasion, The Bag Bar will be offering a specially designed and custom-made bag called the ‘Twestival Bag’ which will be put up for auction at the event. 100% of the proceeds from the auction will go towards charity. Participate in the auction and not only will you have a chance to own a one-off TBB bag, but you will be part of a good cause too!

Bring yourself, bring your friends! There will be performances by well-known local acts as well as lucky draws and Bid-A-Date ( we are told that he has been nominated as the Most Eligible Bachelor in one of  Malaysia’s popular magazines! ). We hope to see you guys there! RSVP to KK Twestival here.
