priorLIFE partners with Brownwood Farms to sell recycled tote bags

TRAVERSE CITY, MICH., JULY 1, 2009 – priorLIFE has partnered with Brownwood Farms, a Traverse City company that produces premium food products like mustards, preserves and marinades, to sell priorLIFE tote bags at the National Cherry Festival.

priorLIFE is a company that refabricates old banners into collectible merchandise and accessories such as tote bags, wallets, and more. Each priorLIFE item has a tag that tells the story of its “prior life,” or where the original banner hung, like a grand opening, one of America’s largest racing events or even a rockin’ concert tour.

The Brownwood Farms booth at the National Cherry Festival will carry priorLIFE tote bags for purchase and also offer a free priorLIFE tote with a $75 Brownwood Farms purchase.

priorLIFE products can also be found at these local retailers:

• Garden Goods on US-31 in Traverse City
• Horizon Books (all three locations – Traverse City, Petoskey and Cadillac)
• The Cherry Stop in Traverse City
• Rebecca’s Closet in Traverse City
• Green Goodness in Leland
• The Painted Bird in Suttons Bay

“We’ve experienced such a high demand for priorLIFE products in northern Michigan that we can’t wait to see how they do at the National Cherry Festival,” said Pam Klumpp, priorLIFE director. “The National Cherry Festival provides a great venue for Traverse City businesses to extend their reach beyond the local economy and we’re very lucky to be a partnered with Brownwood Farms for this event.”

The priorLIFE bags are also sold online through priorLIFE.com. All priorLIFE products are produced in Michigan.
