This is our first year doing a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) and we are really loving it. Above is a snap shot of this weeks pick ups! If you love to cook and are interested in trying new types of vegetables and fruits than you should definitely look into joining a CSA near you!
I love the original version of Bitter Sweet Symphony but I think this one is my new favorite! Hope you enjoy it!

We had 2 trade shows last week – NYIGF and Pool trade show. We introduced some new products (mini totes and bandanas!) that we will have available on our website and at a store near you this fall. We worked with Adrianne Goodrich on a new card board Maptote sign for the Pool show. Also, spotted custom Pool Tradeshow Maptote…
The Maptote Poll is heating up! Looks like Pittsburgh is pulling ahead, with Baltimore right on it’s tail! The competition will end on September 6th, so make sure to get your votes in now and we’ll announce the winner on September 7th.
Good luck!
We recently collaborated with the J. Crew Men’s team on these brand new Upper East Side Maptotes for their new store located at 79th and Madison Ave. in NYC. The store opens at noon on Tuesday August 24th and our totes are being sold exclusively by J. Crew at this new location. We can’t wait to check out this new store as we are quite fond of the other J. Crew Men’s stores in NYC
The Selected Works of T.S. Spivet is by far one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. I am only halfway through but I already know it’s one of my favorites! I highly recommend it to anyone who loves adventure, illustrations and maps.
Maptote will be exhibiting at the New York International Gift Fair (08/15 – 08/19) and the Pool Trade Show (08/17-08/19). If you happen to be attending either of these shows please drop by!
We recently collaborated with the Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego (MCASD) to create these limited edition Maptotes for the Viva La Revolución exhibit currently showing at their downtown San Diego location. If you live in San Diego or plan on visiting between now and January, you should definitely check it out. The exhibit is not only in the museum but has pieces from multiple artists (Shepard Fairey, Blu, Barry McGee, Invader, Banksy, Swoon, JR, Dr. Lakra, Os Gemeos to name a few) on walls throughout downtown and Hillcrest areas of San Diego. I’ve always believed that art should be appreciated everywhere so this exhibit is a testament to public art at it’s best. You can also use our Maptote to help find those hidden gems throughout the city 
On a side note if you are in San Diego this Thursday (08/12) make sure to check out TNT: Urban Legend at the MCASD.
Lish from Handmade Detroit and Craftzine recently dropped by our studio while on a recent visit to Brooklyn. She gave us the lowdown on Detroit and the local design/crafter scene that’s going on in the Motor City. If you are from Detroit or planning a visit and you love crafts and design you should definitely check out her site and see what’s going on.
