I wanted a somewhat lighter bag for summer. The orange leather one has been a great fall/winter bag, but it was time to lighten up. Enter, this new Maruca bag. It arrived today.
As I was going through the pockets, I found Maruca’s calling card.
And in the back zipper pocket, I also found Emma’s Algebra quiz on factoring???
It amused me, and had me running scenarios as to how Emma’s quiz made it into the bag. I sent the quiz back with a note saying how much I liked the bag and congratulations to Emma, factoring whiz. I heard back from the owner via email more or less immediately after she received the mail. She said:
I wanted to reach out and thank you for the lovely note you sent us. I laughed so hard! Recently I was walking through the warehouse looking at some of my favorite patterns when my daughter came running in to show me her most recent math score. It was a herculean effort on her part and we were so excited! Hugging with such excitement that I totally forgot what I was doing. Emma and I walked back to my office and in all the excitement and silliness I put the test in the bag. Yes, I was wearing it. I randomly test our bags to make sure QC is catching everything. I put the bag on to test fit, zippers and strap and I look for any imperfections.
I also laughed. What a fun random happenstance.
