DeNaiHoldingBagThe Heirloom by Petunia fabric is a showcase of Petunia’s most adored and iconic patterns, woven into one from the past ten years. Striking a pitch-perfect balance between classic charm and modern sensibility, Petunia’s limited edition 10th anniversary diaper bag will be one that mother’s will want to pass down to future generations.

“I wanted to design a fabric that symbolized a modern day memory quilt for Petunia,” says Denai Jones, President and Founder. “It has been a profound experience to reflect and reminisce about the fabrics from season’s pasts – so many life and company evolutions and experiences inspired the fabrics over the last 10 years. I am looking forward to all the futures journeys and creating fashionable, functional lifestyle products for savvy parents.”

Located just 15 miles from the epicenter Help Haiti Outlet Saleof the devastating earthquake last week, the organization and the city of Jacmel is in immediate need. We have been working with a team of people over the last several days to coordinate the delivery of baby formula, food, water and medical supplies to this town completely cut off as a result of the quake. The first delivery left Santa Barbara, CA on Friday and was successfully delivered on Sunday. This is just the beginning. Our mission is to assist with the basic immediate needs, but also help The Hands & Feet Project prepare for the onslaught of children orphaned as a result of the earthquake via this Petunia Outlet “Haiti Relief Sale.”

We had a tremendous response and wanted to share some of these great traditions.

We learned that many families open a new pair a pj’s on Christmas Eve, baking with friends and loved ones is a time honored tradition, and giving to families in need is special time shared by many of our fans.  The Petunia Pickle Bottom team was really inspired by the traditions shared and picked up a few news ones to start in their own families.

RedVelvet_CClutch_Front lo resIn the end, we could only select 3 finalists that needed to rally their friends and family to vote for their tradition to win the highly coveted Red Velvet Cake Cameo Clutch.

Rally and campaign they did, but there could only be one winner, which was Tracy Hanish and her families pickle ornament tradition. Every Christmas Eve the pickle ornament is hung on the tree after the children have gone to bed. On Christmas morning, the first child to find the pickle receives a special present. Congratulations, Tracy and thank you for sharing!

Oct. FB WinnerYou don’t have to cross an ocean to see something stunning for the very first time!  Baby’s first fall at King Family Vineyards located in beautiful Crozet, Virginia. With my boxy-backpack I could hold my sweet baby while taking in the glory of the Western Ridge.  I almost forgot to mention the BEST PART about my Petunia Boxy-Backpack! The GLAZED FABRIC is sheer genius for this traveling mom. I remained worry-free while enjoying the Vineyard because no harm, or cabernet franc, would befall my bag that a little wipe couldn’t take care of.  Thanks for making a bag that is truly traveler trusted.
