Feel Good Friday

The journey began in West Africa.  After crossing 8,005 miles of ocean, this crazy cotton landed in our hands in Virginia.  It went through the Taaluma transformation from international fabric to travel backpack, and became the Ivory Coast Tote. But the real mileage was yet to come...

It was an 11pm start to the climb of a lifetime. 6 hours up one of Indonesia's highest and holiest volcanoes...

When we think rice, we think plain, bland, and boring.  Like a side dish of white rice.

But in a land where there are 5 words for what we call "rice,"  it's obvious there's something more to it.

Traveling can invoke some serious fears.

It's a fast paced world out there.

But in Laos, we took a slow boat, to a slow village...

We're adding a new color to the crayon box.  So move over fire hydrant red, Taaluma Rouge is here to stay!

There is a better way to selfie.  It's all about the angle, knowing your good side, and most importantly...the backdrop. 

When trekking through the rice fields of Vietnam...

Many things in life are better in twos--and totin' is just the same.

In a world of cargo ships and overnight airmail, we deliver your fabric a little differently.

From hitching a ride in the back of a truck,

The Thailand Tote has taken off!  As one of our most well traveled totes, we wanted to share a handful of it's best travel moments.

From totin' through endless green fields in Ireland...

We came across a mid-week Feel Good surprise when checking in with our manufacturing team this week. Dorothy, a member of the Taaluma-Team since day 1...

Today is the FIRST day of the last month of summer!  We tell you this not to get you down, but instead to get you up while the sun is out, the fruit is tasty and festivals are in full swing!
