My Ying bag rocks! GIVEAWAY

lg_ying1.jpgI received this beautiful ying bag from Nankeen for review and I’m so impressed with it’s beauty and durability that I have to give one away!

“Nankeen creates chic, fun, durable, and functional accessories for everyday style. Their designs fuse 100% cotton, indigo dye, and exquisite patterns using a traditional Chinese art form dating back to the Song dynasty. In addition Nankeen is committed to fair labor practices, environmentally friendly manufacturing, and the preservation of the art form. This historic Asian process is rapidly becoming endangered. Your support will help rescue and sustain this treasured tradition. Please pass along this treasure and share with your friends and family.”

Nankeenstyle.com offers a large selection of bags, totes, accessories, pillows and really cool accessories for men.

My ying bag is from the tote collection. I’ve always been a big lover of big bags. With four kids having a bag big enough to tote all our stuff is a must.

I took my bag with me over the holiday weekend and it was perfect for our snacks, magazines, and a few toys and my laptop fit perfectly in the padded interior sleeve. It’s the must have bag for us busy moms because the straps are sturdy enough to take a mom’s tendency to overstuff her bag and is machine washable. It’s definitely a bag I can feel good about since I’m supporting an endangered Chinese art form, the hand printed cotton will always be in style, and with it’s durability I can count on having the bag for many years.~Kristie

  73. I spent way too much time looking through those gorgeous bags. I really am having trouble picking my favorite but I think it is the Ying tote,then the Wave tote and then the Jia handbag. I like the idea behind this more than anything though, that is the idea of preserving the ancient art form. I read a book recently which touched me deeply called “Snow Flower and the Secret Fan” and they had a very special written language which was passed down from generation to generation. This reminds me very much of that and so this giveaway really hits home for me. Thanks for having it. It’s wonderful.

  202. Hey there!

    It’s pretty cool that you are doing a giveaway and because I saw the magic word (free) I decided to go take a look at their site.

    I have to say, even if I didn’t win the giveaway, I will definitely be saving up to get the Lily Tote. I love the look of the design and the fact that it’s big enough to carry everything I could possibly think of.

    It’s got a wonderful oriental look to it that I just adore and combined with the pink lining, it’s irresistable so I think that it will definitely be on my ‘must have’ list!

    It helps too, that it’s environmentally friendly so I can say I’m doing a small bit to help out there and because it’s labour friebndly, I won’t feel guilty about people slaving away to make it for me :)

    The only other bag that ‘does it’ for me is the song bag hehe It’s got the same look so that’s the one I would go for if I won!
