Musings from out west...
Now that we've had some time to settle back into life in Minnes(n)o(w)ta, I'd thought I'd sit down, take a deep breath, and share with our Tribe the stories of our travels out west to Winter Market Outdoor Retailer in Salt Lake City, Utah. Better late than never, right?! Sure thing. Here goes (worth it, I promise)...
Gearing up to head out west...
As the Ethnotek crew gears up for another trip out to Salt Lake City to hang at the Salt Palace for Outdoor Retailer round 2 - the Winter Market variety - we take some time to take a breath and get excited about everything our small team has been working on. You may remember our team's last trek to Utah - it was our first foray into the trade show world, and we had a blast.
Hello, 2013!
Happy 2013 to our Tribe members around the globe! As we, the Ethnotek crew, reflect on 2012 - we realize we have a lot to be thankful for...here are just a few of the many highlights: we were featured in The Huffington Post, powerful connections were made, we enjoyed our first trade show foray at Outdoor Retailer (and the misadventures along the way) and met some inspiring, like-minded people behind socially-responsible businesses, our Tribe community has grown to over 2,000 fans on Facebook, we launched the Acaat Messenger, Wayu Pack and Dep Sleeves for iPad and iPad mini...and so, so much more.Â
Observing the World from Above
What's up tribe, Rambling Shaman here, back from a long hiatus and more inspired than ever!
Amidst helping write the closing statement for the Ethnotek 2013 catalog, (which we just sent to the printer today, stay tuned) we happened upon a link to what photographer George Steinmetz has been up to and had to take some time to appreciate the truly unbelievable sites around the world that he's had the pleasure of documenting in vivid color.Â
Gratitude.
In the midst of all of the busy-ness of the holiday season, and the excitement around our new, limited-edition Ghana Raja collection, the crew here at Ethnotek is taking the time to step back, take a deep breath, and reflect on all of the blessings in our lives. This past year has been incredible for us. We have so much gratitude for so many reasons. So, we thought we'd take some time to start a list of the things we're thankful for, and encourage you to dream up your own list.Â
We've reached 2,000. And the winners are...
Thank you all for your love and support throughout the growth process of our little bag brand. This video is to celebrate the Tribe growing to 2k and beyond. We couldn't have done it without YOU!
Introducing: Tribe Member, Mehdy + The Hostel Life
We are beyond-excited to announce our collaboration with Mehdy Ghannad, from The Hostel Life. Mehdy has been a friend of the Ethnotek crew for quite some time, and as backpacking travelers ourselves, we back his mission 110%. 'What is The Hostel Life?' you may ask? Allow me to explain.Â
