Clutch Bags NY Gives Thanks!!

Macy's Day Parade                                                         Macy’s  Day Parade

 

As the end of November approaches, so does that very palette pleasing last Thursday of the month we all  know of as Thanksgiving.  As it draws near, it is again time for us to reflect on the meaning of the holiday.  At Clutch Bags NY we feel that  gratitude, appreciation and thanks are in order as well.

When living in NYC, one can easily forget what there is to be thankful for.  Let’s be honest here. As a New Yorker living in the city, the smelly streets, cramped subway cars, and overpriced apartments can become annoyingly overwhelming most of the time which can make it difficult to appreciate.  The big city lights do not excite a New Yorker like they might excite the city’s tourists; which at times leaves the tourists standing still on a corner that happens to completely block  your path.  This over-populated, highly vibrant, and constantly moving city can feel like a big drag sometimes.  However, we have to keep  reminding ourselves why we live here by asking, “why is it that  people want to visit  THIS city?”

As a New Yorker you can become so easily distracted by the aspects that annoy us, that you cannot fully appreciate this creative metropolis in which we live.   However, this Thanksgiving, we at Clutch Bags NY  challenge you to take a moment and bask in the serendipities  this city offers you on a daily basis.  It could be appreciating the crowds on the streets as a pool of human diversity for us to mingle with.  Or, perhaps, to find a moment’s inspiration on those crowded subway platforms. Or maybe it is to give thanks for that cracker box size apartment you pay too much for and know that the experience of living at the center of a great city is worth more than just your savings account.

We at Clutch Bags NY  are thankful for this great city, as it serves us well in all its resources it provides for us to make manufacturing happen.  This city provides us with talented sample makers to make our beautiful leather handbags.  This city provides us with factories of diligent working people whose attention to detail far surpasses what can be achieved in some places overseas.  We work with American tanners and leather makers, with hardware factories, fabric wholesalers, dust cover producers, die makers, even printers who make beautiful hang-tags for our leather purses and clutch bags.   We are thankful we have had the initiative to create a brand that supports American workers and manufacturing.

So my fellow readers, it is not always material things we need to be thankful for, as we can find appreciation in everything around us, even those things that we might view as negative.  We hope  you will be able to see the positive within some possibly negative situations this holiday season.  Remember you do not need a big Thanksgiving event to be thankful; all you need are thanks.

Give your thanks and  keep it Clutch!

(Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Clutch Bags NY)
