Hi, I just wanted to share one of the nice surprises I received in my email inbox yesterday---
OK so I will tell you! Too cool! I found your bag at Acacia, and friends at work who did not even see the bag but just heard about the concept you have, loved the idea. I found your site, and am passing it on. Wonderful idea, great bags, glad you are around, may you prosper and continue your good work!
I really think the idea of reinventing uses for materials that could otherwise end up in the landfill is always good, and your idea for converting yoga mats into bags of all sorts, sizes and colors is creative and ingenious. I am already putting my carryall to use at the grocery store!
Thank you to:

Yep, OlovesM Eco Bags are all made in Colorado!! I had a call today from a really nice person who called right from a store to ask!! It was so nice to let her know, YES, they are all made here in the USA:)
I have also worked super hard to find fabrics made in the USA, as well other parts of the bag:)
I agree with the wonderful gal who called, I need to put MADE IN THE USA all over my hangtag and website!!!
Bags-Boats-& Wine Tasting!
Jul 12, 10:24 PM by Merle O'Brien
The other day, I had a bag buyer call to tell me this wonderful OlovesM story-- while on a wine tasting trip in Eurpoe, Cheri had an OlovesM encounter!
While on an evening wine tasting dinner boat trip, Cheri, had someone come up to her and say, where did you get that bag? (Cheri was carrying her OlovesM Large bernie bag) The women, said I have one to, and told her how she had bought it from this wonderful girl named Merle at the Aspen Saturday Market!!
Cheri told me how fun it was to meet someone out of the clear blue and have a purse in common! Both women had so much fun talking about their bags, tasting great wine, and decided they needed another OlovesM bag once they got back from their wonderful trip!
Thank you Cheri for sharing that fun story--

Merle Tote Story
Jun 17, 10:14 AM by Merle O'Brien
I met with my long time camp friend Sue last week, and she told me how she had bought the Merle Tote for her sister -who has twins and seems to carry a TON of stuff! Her sister, Amy, was so excited, since the Merle Tote can withstand spilled milk, mushed bananas, and jellies:)
Seems that Amy called Sue a week after getting her OlovesM bag, and said she loved it so much could she get another to use for work-- she is a lawyer and all her briefs fit into the tote and she can carry it to court!
Just another fun OlovesM Story-- if you have one, please email it in!!
Blanca-Bags & Cabo!
Apr 21, 09:06 PM by Merle O'Brien
Blanca-Bags & Cabo!! I was at karate with my son today, and Blanca, another mom in the room sat next to me and was SO excited to tell me this: While in Cabo for Spring Break, she saw a women walking with an OlovesM Sundance Bag ( large Jute Bag) and she asked the women if she was from Aspen.
The women told Blanca, her sister in law, who lives in Aspen, gave it to her for a present. She went on to tell Blanca, how much she loves the bag, and takes it eveywhere!! Of course that same sister in law, (Margaret) bought 30 bags from me for all her family members-- yes she has a BIG family!!!
Once again, I just love hearing all these great OlovesM stories:)
Bridesmaid's Gifts!
Apr 11, 04:32 PM by Merle O'Brien
Good morning! We're off to a good start and I'm not even working today. This was an email I got from a store owner--she went on to let me know, a person had come in first thing and bought FOUR bags for bridesmaid's gifts! And then got a call from a client who wanted an OlovesM Sport Bag--so all in all FIVE OlovesM bags sold before 10am (pretty exciting:)
