"This is 31 Bits"
January 19th, 2010 | Comments (0)
Last month we went on a walk with some of our designers…
Grandma Helen and Julliette
Beautiful Nancy
They took us to their huts, cooked for us, shared stories, and continually expressed their thanks for all that 31 Bits has provided. We laughed as they pointed to their pigs, sheep, beds, etc. and said “This is 31 Bits!” So… without further ado… here is what, thanks to your purchases, our ladies have been able to purchase!
Susan’s “31 Bits” pigs
Food for their families
“31 Bits” goats
Grandma Helen’s “31 Bits” hut
School fees for the kiddos
… And so much more! It’s amazing to see how our ladies lives have changed- in just a year! They are empowered… they see hope, promise, and a future for their families!!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for supporting 31 Bits!

Our sandals are hitting stores soon… we’re SO excited. They turned out beautiful, and we couldn’t be more thankful to REEF for all that they have done for us. We are having so much fun working with them… their enthusiasm and support for 31 Bits has been unreal! Check out our featured spot on their site:

STOKED!!
The 1st Annual 31 Bits Retreat
January 11th, 2010 | Comments (0)
It has been a year and a half since all 5 of the 31 Bits girls have been in the same continent… you can imagine our anticipation and excitement to be reunited again. The five of us spent a couple days in a cabin in Idyllwild (thank you, White family!), caught up on life, 31 Bits, and all the ins and outs of what is to come! It was the perfect setting for a retreat, we HIGHLY recommend The Idyllwild Inn (www.idyllwildinn.com)
It was SO good to all be back together again… now Brooke and Kallie are on a plane headed back to our ladies! It was sad to see them go… but we’re stoked for all that they will be doing on that end of things.

And the bride wore Bits…

Just last week Katie Geerdes married Aaron Linderman…. and with the help of the ladies back in Gulu, their wedding was given a fresh and unique spin: the bride and bridesmaids wore 31 Bits! We couldn’t have been more honored… and we think they looked AWESOME. What do you think?
…Maybe we’ll start a line of “Bridal Bits”? Thank you Katie and Aaron for support of 31 Bits! We can’t wait for the ladies to see these shots!
