Testimonials
Before the Art Cargo bag, I would schlepp my art
out to my trunk wrapped in beach towels and bubble wrap for protection and then
when arriving at the gallery, reverse the procedure. I would then carry by
the hanging wire into the gallery either one or two pieces depending on size and
arrive hot and sweaty and discombobulated. After purchasing the Art Cargo
Bag I carried 5 large art pieces into a gallery. I was able to display
them without feeling mussed. What a totally different experience! It
was far more professional. I am so enthusiastic about this product!

"I am a professional artist who has been
using the prototypes for the Art Cargo bag for ten years. I exhibit regularly
and couldn't manage without these bags. I often need to transport and present
multiple paintings at a time, taking paintings from the parking lot to a
presentation up elevators or stairs in an office building or private residence.
I have even stored paintings in the Art Cargo Bags sitting in damp grass all day
and the interior of the bags never got wet."

"I really love the "Art Cargo Bag"! I
started using it to carry art work to get framed. Then I began to store art work
waiting to be hung. The bag is sturdy, water-proof, and padded. It is also very
easy to swing over my shoulder, walking with my hands free for doors, phone, or
coffee! No more lugging large frames, wrestling them on my hips trying to
squeeze through doors, etc. It makes the whole ordeal no longer an ordeal.
Whatever the weather, where ever I have to take things, it's a breeze. It also
really helps getting display boards for projects and such to their destination
unscathed. It's much sturdier than any other portfolio I've ever used without
being heavy or cumbersome. Once you try it, you wonder how you ever got along
without it!"

"I recently heard a fellow artist say
she was giving up trying to sell paintings at art sales and fairs because
transporting the paintings caused so much damage to her framed work! I
understood exactly what she meant. Transporting bulky and heavy framed
paintings can be exhausting and frustrating. Multiple trips from vehicle to
selling site and damage to frames and canvases were making me wonder whether it
was really worth it. If I packed them carefully enough, unpacking them was time
consuming and involved a good deal of additional storage space. Then I found
the Art Cargo Bags! Now I just tuck up to three paintings in the bag, sling it
over my shoulder and I am off. The paintings arrive safely and I make fewer
trips. I look professional and my art retains the high quality look I have
worked so hard to achieve. "

"It's a fabulous product, extremely well
made; it's functional. The Art Cargo Bag looks good when you walk into a
client's office, any client. It protects what you want to protect, whether it's
framed or not. I carry loose prints in a box in one compartment, a portfolio in
another. It's easy to get things in and out of it. I saw the Art Cargo Bag and
I bought it right away. I don't just buy anything. I really do think it's a
great product and I wouldn't hesitate recommending it to anybody."

"This
wonderful Art Cargo bag has made life so much easier! It is that rare thing -- a
perfect combination of beautiful design and high function. I find I am using it
almost constantly. I can take several paintings to the gallery with speed and
ease with no need for wrapping as the partitions are so well made and
protective. I can think of lots of other uses for it too, quite apart from
carrying art. I simply can't imagine how I managed before I had it. Every artist
or photographer should have one or more of these really great
bags!"
