The Shippensburg Fashion Archives and Museum has a really nifty tote bag (uh, if I do say so myself since I designed it) for sale on their web site. http://webspace.ship.edu/fasharch/. The bag's graphics are a pattern "in the Janet Arnold manner" for a dress in the SUFAM collection. The hang tag is a picture of the actual dress. We're really proud that this bag is totally manufactured by loving hands in the state of Pennsylvania. The printing was done in Chester and the sewing is taking place near Shippensburg right now. It's 100% cotton canvas - grown in the USA, though probably somewhat south of Pennsylvania. All of the profits will go toward the preservation and exhibition of garments in the remarkable collection of this small museum. There is also a shoe bag and a jewelry bag available, not to mention a couple of wonderful catalogues written by the museum's curator Dr. Karin Bohleke.
