Echoes on CTV National News "Canadian Originals"




Just finished shooting a segment for CTV National News "Canadian Originals" on Echoes in the Attic. Two days of shooting will have to be edited down to two minutes profiling our little eco-biz.
We're thrilled to be considered Canadian Original-worthy and look forward to announcing the air date and what that may bring to our busy little business.
What an honor.
Thanks to the crew and producer who did such a great job making us feel at ease like it was a regular day, The Global Group who graciously allowed cameras in to their factory to follow us on a 'fabric hunt' and Casa Luna in Aurora who welcomed the cameras into their store to show our finished product.

2012 - A Fresh Start


Every year at this time we re-focus and re-strategize with new goals and designs we'd like to do but never seem to have time for in our day to day busy schedules. It's our goal to get some new designs launched off the drawing board, into the prototyping stage where we tweak and play till we're in LOVE with the new style. This year we'll do our share of this, but along with our eco-handbags we hope that Echoes in the Attic will soon morph into what we've always envisioned and what some of you have been asking us to do...a line of upcycled products that's wider and broader. The evolution of Echoes has kept us very busy and very happy with steadily growing numbers of eco-peeps that love carrying our 'salvage-savvy' bags. Since it's inception in '05 when we started Echoes, we always hoped we would have the time and space to commit to accessories for home as well. Our addiction to antique wool and chenille blankets has us thinking of squishy, feather pillows again, upcycled lamps painted with fabric covered shades, old b&w photographs and uniquities that have Echoes one of a kind style and that takes upcycling to the next level. We'll keep you posted on our vision...stay tuned.
