The Old Bag Company - "Loved by the Media".....
Only after 6 months trading we had a double page featured in Devon Life, a local glossy magazine and were quoted saying “The Old Bag Company has become very successful, very quickly. Partly down to Sally’s tenacity and business acumen but most importantly because it is a product that sells itself”
From there we had editorial in The Western Morning News, Devon Today and Cornwall Life, We were also featured on BBC Spotlight and ITV Westcountry. This was great exposure in the region where we were getting a loyal following of Old Bags! We then started to be noticed by the National Newspapers and Magazines and soon followed features and articles about the Company/products in Vogue Magazine, Drapers, Best Magazine, The Lady, Pregnancy Baby and You, Bella, I’m Pregnant, Conde Nast Traveller, Fashion Extra, Candice Magazine ,Living North, The Daily Telegraph, The Daily Mail, The Sunday Times, The Sunday Telegraph and The Daily Express. This exposure is a great help with building the brand and gives the products rea; credibility in this very competitive market place.
