It's in the Bag

Rebecca Pappas
April 30, 2014

Scarborough & Tweed, a leading purveyor of corporate gifts, logo merchandise, and custom promotional products, recently expanded its signature bag collection. The new designs are stylish, practical, and affordable. The bags can be fully customized in a variety of colors and fabrics to reflect a corporate image or event theme. Scarborough & Tweed tastefully brands each bag with a woven ribbon, embroidery, or stamped leather patch.  

A bag from Scarborough & Tweed is the perfect swag bag for meetings, conferences, and events. The bag can tote gifts, giveaways, conference materials, and company literature. It also makes a great impression as a stand-alone gift. Scarborough & Tweed's renowned canvas duffle bag is a fixture on the streets of New York, London, Hong Kong, and major cities all over the world. Launched in 1992, the year after a recession, the bag represented the perfect antithesis to the extravagant attachĂ© cases of the 1980s. The original canvas duffle has spawned countless iterations over the past 22 years; the company designs bags in a multitude of styles and sizes.  

Scarborough & Tweed's latest designs evoke images of sand and surf. The new Sail Cloth Duffle represents a modern take on the traditional duffle. "You can do creative things with it, like celebrate a company anniversary by adding the anniversary year to the front of the bag," says Lisa McCullagh, president of Scarborough & Tweed. The Drawstring Beach Bag is a sporty alternative to the traditional beach tote, while the versatile Boat Tote Backpack features backpack straps and leather-wrapped handles. For the sports enthusiast, the spacious and sturdy Equipment Bag comfortably carries athletic clothes, shoes, and gear. The Country Club Duffle, featuring a colorful stripe on the webbing and handles, is ideal for a day at the pool, golf course, or tennis club. Yet Scarborough & Tweed's original 21-inch barrel bag, with woven ribbon sewn onto the handles, still sets the standard as a classic traveler or favorite gym bag.  

Scarborough & Tweed's bags are made in the United States. The company operates its own manufacturing facility in New York, which allows it to accommodate custom requests with low minimum orders, offer fast turn-around time, and contain costs. "You don't need a big event to create your own bag. You can order as few as 24 pieces, and we'll work with you to design a bag that is uniquely your own," McCullagh says.  

In addition to bags, Scarborough & Tweed offers thousands of top-quality promotional products. With offices in New York and London, Scarborough & Tweed supplies brand-name merchandise, highly customized gifts, and inexpensive giveaways to events all over the world. The company's experienced team tastefully wraps gifts, stuffs swag bags, and carefully packages and ships orders directly to each event. "We handle everything for our clients from innovative gift ideas to packaging to delivery," McCullagh says. "Our goal is to take the pressure off of our clients and make them look good. You can really make your company stand out by customizing your bag."
