Historic town square. A nefariously ridiculous urban legend.
An Ode to Community Spirit
In the heart of a small town comprising barely 6000 people, designer Annette Cook found inspiration to transform hometown pride into a tangible expression. Her first Townie bag, lovingly crafted to showcase local landmarks and inside jokes, sparked a wave of enthusiasm at a craft fair, proving that shared stories can unite even the most diverse communities.
From Artisanal Creations to Wearable Memories
With a keen eye for detail and a passion for preserving local lore, Annette transforms her designs into an array of merchandise, including totes, pillows, tea towels, coasters, and t-shirts. Each item is a tribute to the places and moments that define our hometowns, allowing us to carry a piece of our heritage wherever we go. "These bags elicit smiles, joyful reminiscing, and most importantly, connection when people carry Townie Bags," says Annette about her creations. Whether you hail from a charming seaside village or a bustling urban enclave, TownieSwag invites you to celebrate your hometown with pride.
Local Design, Local Production
Every TownieSwag item is conceived, designed, and printed right here in Connecticut, embodying the spirit of local craftsmanship. While some of our products are sewn in-house, we collaborate with a talented group of expert tailors and craftsmen across the state to bring our creations to life. At TownieSwag, we're on a mission to prove that well-made products can be crafted in America, with workers earning fair wages and customers receiving excellent value.
