Now I realize that $158 may sound like a lot for a bag, but let me explain why JulieApple’s products are priced a bit higher than the mass-produced totes and bags you might see at a big box store. After I do, I think you will understand and appreciate the value of the JulieApple line.
Julianne’s small business operates according to her own core values, which include finding and using high-quality, innovative and truly green materials and processes to create her beautiful (and also very practical) bags. Additionally, Julianne works hard to be certain that her employees and contract workers are compensated fairly and treated with respect. She doesn’t compromise when it comes to quality materials, and while that may mean that a JulieApple bag costs more than a tote you might pick up at a major chain retailer, it also means you’re supporting a mother-owned and operated small business, the lifelong dream of one of the most entrepreneurial people I’ve ever met.
And as someone who actually carries JulieApple bags every single day – for work, for shopping and for travel – I can tell you that they are gorgeous and incredibly durable. Not a week goes by when someone doesn’t stop me on the street, in an elevator at my office, or while I’m dashing through an airport to ask me where I got whatever JulieApple bag I happen to be carrying.
Plus, remember that a very generous TWENTY FIVE PERCENT of the purchase price of every JulieApple Home/Work Tote will be donated to Henry’s Fund, and as y’all know, that means all the world to me.
So please help spread the word! Share a link to the new JulieApple Home/Work Tote for Henry’s Fund with your friends and family on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and by email. Also, if any of y’all have have any personal or professional connections with buyers for any stores or catalogs that might be interested in carrying the new JulieApple Home/Work Tote supporting Henry’s Fund, will you ask your buyer-friend or acquaintance to take a look? I sure would appreciate it. Wouldn’t it be AWESOME if some great shops and catalogs with lots of customers began carrying these bags? Just think of how many treatment scholarships for teenagers struggling with addiction that we could fund….
And be sure to check out all the other great bags, totes and carryalls in JulieApple’s latest line, including the just-launched ULTIMATE diaper bag.
Thanks so much from Henry’s whole family!
And HUGE love to Julianne & Toby for all their support through, well, everything. xoxoxo – Katie

What a beautiful bag, and what an awesome gesture of generousity on the part of Julie Apple!
Thank you so much Sarah. I honestly can't express how meaningful this is to me. – Katie
A delightful bag to brighten the world. A keeper.
Just curious, did you spend the $158.00 for the bag?
Debbie, I only found out that the bag EXISTED 10 minutes before I began writing this blog post, when Julianne emailed me with the news and a link.
Why do you ask?
Katie
I can only guess that Debbie, like me, couldn't dream of spending $158.00 on an item for herself right now. I can't even spend that much on my two sons, combined, for Christmas. It seems an extravagant splurge for many of us these days.
