LTD editions

It's been over a year since we've had any new LTD edition bags and I'm often asked when we're coming out with another one. Well, on March 20th from 10am to 1pm we're having a big release party at our Santa Ana store with 2 all-new LTD edition bags. The first numbered 1-25 will come with a FREE exclusive themed duster bag but you must be present. Should be a lot of fun. I hope to see you there.

Over the years we've had a lot of LTD editions with some fun names and colors. I get lots of questions about LTD editions so I thought I'd come up with a list of...

Things you should know about LTD editions:

*   LTD edition bags were first sold in 2004
*   Each bag comes with unique Themed lining
*   Each hang-tag is hand stamped with a unique LTD icon.
*   Each bag has a numbered label #? of 250 with the exception of the first 4 that only had 200.
*   If it doesn't have a numbered label it's not a LTD edition.
*   Once a LTD edition bag is sold out it's gone forever. We may bring back a similar version but it's never exactly like the original.
*   We've heard of people selling their LTD bags on ebay for more than 5 times what they originally paid.
*   LTD bags typically come in the Medium tote size but on a few occasions we have done them in the Large tote size
*   There have been 2 LTD edition bags for a charity: MADD and Wahoos
*   SID's "Sailors Angel" was the only artist LTD edition and it was a Carriage large satchel.
*   Paint by numbers was our most popular LTD edition bag of all time.
*   LTD edition events hosted at our stores will usually have the bags numbered 1-10.
*   We've had more than 30 different LTD edition bags.


If you have a collection of LTD edition bags I'd love to hear about it or maybe see a picture just drop me an email to dana@seatbeltbags.com. I'd love to use your story/ picture for the blog.
