How did flip & tumble get its start?
Back in 2007, we sewed up our first batch of 50 bags and headed to a farmers market to test the market with our unique design. Luckily, we found a bunch of enthusiastic customers who were excited about a reusable bag that was designed to never to be forgotten. Our first customers continuing support and excitement around our bags gave us the push to keep on going and launch f&t.
What is flip & tumble about?
That’s simple! flip & tumble is all about making quality products that won’t end up in the landfill. We realize that all products consume material and we consider it a responsibility to make the most out of whatever materials we’re using. For us that means that a product should definitely work well, but it should also do more. It should be beautiful and bring joy through its use. It’s a tall order, but one that we think is very important. To that end, we sweat the small stuff until we think the product is just right functionally and aesthetically.
