Bags for Sale

Sunday, May 9th, 2010 by monkeybed

A crisp beautiful day here in Boston just in time for Mother’s Day and Urban Blanket Bags to go on sale. It’s been a great winter developing the bags with amazing feedback from our community. Thanks so much for the early support and coverage from Urban Sherp and Daily Candy.

“Newton-based design outfit Monkey Bed debuts its line of nylon city-adventure satchels, each containing a water-resistant fleece blanket with room for four.”

“As fellow Bostonians, we know that when you catch a glimpse of sunshine, you’ve got to get out and take advantage of it.”

We’re going to have a great summer outside, hope you’ll join us!

Introducing the Urban Blanket Bag Collection at NYIGF

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010 by monkeybed
We’re here at the New York International Gift Fair in booth #1111 meeting an incredible bunch of buyers and vendors introducing the Urban Blanket Bag to retailers for this summer season.
There’s got to be a better way. We have that phrase to thank for most of the things we enjoy today. You know, the little stuff like electricity, the automobile, and modern medicine. Ok fine, we’re not introducing the implantable computer or the personal spaceship today, but for us the Urban Blanket Bag is a return to basics. We hope it helps our customers fulfill the Monkey Bed mission, to help you connect with your inner monkey.
The Urban Blanket Bag includes the fully featured Esplanade, the slim-lined Riverwalk, and the compact Seashore, each with the same 58″ x 68″ zip-out feature-rich blanket. You can read more about the collection and Monkey Bed in our downloadable press pack.
Bags will be shipping to retail this April and will also be available online this summer here at themonkeybed.com.
Having founded Monkey Bed in 2009, we get to do all the “right” things from day one. All Monkey Bed products including the Urban Blanket Bag are made from partially recycled materials. All profits are used responsibly to benefit our growing community of suppliers, customers, and contributors.
