Bag one before Christmas

David and Associates has been helping bag retailer TinTac with all its branding and communications. This month sees the launch of a web site for this new entrant to the market, competing with the likes of Crumpler, Tumi and Jack Spade.

The first two offerings are the Hoxton - a cotton-canvas messenger-style bag in a range of muted colours with contrasting vivid linings - and the Bloomsbury - a workhorse of a bag that started life as a DJ's vinyl tote.

The musical heritage is no accident as TinTac's founder, John Wright, was also the man behind DJ emporium City Sounds - something of a mecca for the UK's DJs from the early 70s onwards.

These two bags are to be followed by two more designs in the New Year - the Chelsea and Soho.

As part of the launch celebrations, we have been invited to extend to all our visitors the offer of a 20% discount on all purchases from the web site up to the 31st December 2007. To take advantage of this, please key in the Discount Voucher code: TT004 when prompted on the checkout pages.

Copywriting for Ruskin Square

Mike has written the brochure, billboards and website for Ruskin Square, a major mixed-use development in Croydon.

The project, designed by Foster + Partners and FaulknerBrowns, is managed by developers Stanhope, and will create an entire new community, with homes, offices, shops, restaurants, bars and even a GP surgery. It is also providing a stunning new home for Croydon's famous Warehouse Theatre.

As its name suggests, the development has been inspired by the ideas of John Ruskin, who believed passionately in the power of architecture to transform lives.
