New Kickstarter Reward - The Very Tasty NYC Strumpet Bag!

 

Hello all!  

We're so psyched to be fully funded on Kickstarter - thanks so much for everyone who's gotten involved.

We've initiated a push goal - to get 100 backers.  Considering that we have three days, and that our pledges start at just $3/£1.85, we think we can do it!

To sweeten the pot, we're adding a new premium at the $35 level.  Editrix Ellen has designed these very tasty NYC-themed bags, to pay homage to one of the world's top cities to grab a bite to eat. 

We'll be selling them at our NYC launch - but if you want to grab one of your very own, we're putting three of these bags on our Kickstarter.

They will be fully lined, with two roomy interior pockets.  The Strumpet's trademark S will blaze out in red on the side.  

Are you in?  Awesome!  Please visit our Kickstarter today!  

Thanks, as always, for your support!
