With a partner, I started an online business a few days ago. My partner's the design side; I'm the business side.

Our 3 core principles: All products designed and made in the USA, first 2% of sales revenue to charity, and phenomenal customer service.

Our first goods are uniquely shaped bags for carrying pet gear--treats, toys, water bowl, water, leash, etc. You're pre-packed and immediately ready to go instead of scrambling last minute, grabbing--horrors!--an ugly, will tear paper bag.

Our next line of goods will add convenience to your holiday shopping.

The business is Designspirit USA. Please take a look at DesignspiritUSA.com or find us at etsy.com (search "Designspirit USA") and let me know what you think. If you're inclined, please like/share us on FaceBook, twitter and such, tell friends, buy! We need the help to get this going.

Note: Our website and presence on FaceBook, etsy.com, Twitter, LinkedIn (with such as pinterest etc to follow) are not in final form. So if what you see is a bit rough, well we're aware and working to make it better.

BIGTHANKS, Monroe

Thank you!

We're having some difficulty in getting proper visuals (photos) on our online sites--discombobulation with our photographer..ugh, not good call..long story. Should be fixed in a week or so.

Our next line of goods should be up in about 2-3 weeks. Y'know how when you're holiday shopping and carrying all the stuff you buy becomes clumsy? We'll offer oversized carryall bags with pockets on the outside and an extra pocket on the inside. In very colorful holiday patterns. Plus, they'll be reversible with patterns suitable for summer (beach, swimming outings).
