At Boston Comic Con next weekend, we’re going to do something totally new for us – we’re going to give away a unique Storied Threads bag TOTALLY for free! It’s a design that we’ve wanted to make for quite a while now, but it’s complex enough that we worried the cost to our customers would make it unrealistic. So instead, we made just one, and we’re going to give it away raffle-style at BCC!
This Doctor Who inspired Silence bag came out pretty awesomely, though we did have to play with our usual design in order to make it work. We made our largest size bag, which includes interior padding to provide protection for a laptop or other electronics. But with the embroidery under the front flap, we didn’t have room to include the pocket that we normally do. I was loathe to simply eliminate a pocket, though, so I had to play with the design. I added a small pocket on the one side panel, which is JUST large enough to hold an iPhone 5, or similarly sized item. And I added a large, divided pocket to the interior of the bag, providing a place to be able to store smaller items without them getting lost in the cavernous main compartment.
Entering our raffle is super easy — find us at the Convention in the dealer’s room, in spaces A701 and A702. Come up, admire the bag (which will be on display) and say, “Hey! Can I have a raffle ticket to win this awesome bag?” And we will give you a ticket. It’s that easy! There’s no purchase necessary, though we will ask that you give us your e-mail so that we can contact you if you win, but are not able to pick up your bag on Sunday.
If you’re actually shopping with Storied Threads at the con, it gets even better. Because for every $10 you spend (before sales tax) will will give you an ADDITIONAL free ticket to the raffle! Pretty sweet deal, right? You get some awesome swag, and leave with the chance of winning even MORE awesome swag.
We will be giving away raffle tickets all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The winning ticket will be drawn at 5:00 Sunday, August 2 (one hour before the Dealer’s Room closes). The prize, a Doctor Who inspired Silence bag pictured here, is valued at $80.
