Our Upcycled Street Banner Bags have become wildly popular because of their graphic colors and the uniqueness of each one. It shouldn’t be taken for granted, however, that each bag has a story behind it. We received one such story today from one of our twitter followers, Hana, inquiring about a very specific bag that she had seen in her friend’s blog.

Her parent’s names just happened to be on that bag, and in a wild coincidence, it turns out that the banner was from a lecture given by her parents in Korea in 2009!

It was a delight to see that one of the Banner Bags’ stories came back to us through coincidence and the magic of the Internet!
