Has not connected their Facebook account.
With a strong background in art and design that includes a BA in graphic design from the Savannah College of Art and Design Jamie is currently working on an MA in Industrial Design at the Savannah College of Art and Design, Jamie has been creating products for the past 8 years.
South magazine recently featured Jamie as one of the new top entrepreneurs in Savannah. The Bowerbag is his latest innovation that won first prize in his division of the Fast Pitch competiton sponsored by the Creative Coast. The Bowerbag was recently featured in Innovation magazine because of it's creative design; a design that proves that the essential synthesis of backpacks, messenger bags and saddle bags is greater than its sum.
Jamie was also part of a group chosen to re-purpose garments donated by celebrity rapper Andre 3000. Jamie and his design partner created a bag that transformed into a t-shirt, with a blanket pull out creating an entire picnic scene titled "Bixby's love affair get-away gear". The package was complete with a fabric champagne holder so you never have to take the champagne out of the bucket. (See photos in the description section) The piece was purchase for Andre 3000 at a charity auction.
Jamie will be participating in Vogue's Fashion Night Out in Savannah on September 8th, if you're in Savannah, stop by Broughton street and meet the man in person.
No metal. No wicker. No baskets. No aching shoulders. Wrap up your stuff and have the bicycle carry it without the added frou-frou. Lock up the bike at the destination and carry your goodies over your shoulder. EZ in - EZ out...
Jamie - edit it, and sign my name. Chib
I have lots of bags, but was attracted to the Bowerbag because of the many different configurations of the bag. Add in the artistic and creative design and this bag becomes the most versatile that's good for a quick trip to the office, running to the library and just cruising around the city for a scenic bike ride.
Backpack, messenger bag, saddlebag - why have all three when you can have just one! That was the reason I backed this project. Can't wait for mine to arrive!
