Strand Style
Tote Bag: Adrian Tomine
The Strand is breaking new ground with our newest tote bag, designed by famed graphic novelist Adrian Tomine. He's drawn us the many faces of Strand customers, and there are different people depicted on each side of the bag. Plus, our oval logo has been replaced by a multi-hued staggered-lettered STRAND mixed among the faces. Maybe the coolest bag we've ever done! Special offer! Use this or any Strand bag when you shop in-store, and receive 25 cents off your purchase!
COMING SOON... Eye on the Strand Photo Contest!
The Strand Book Store partners with Aperture Foundation and Pratt Institute to host our first ever photography contest, inviting amateur and professional photographers to submit photo representations of the famous Strand Book Store!
24 chances to win an opportunity to be exhibited at the Pratt CCPS Gallery in summer 2009 and on a digital gallery at strandbooks.com! Prizes will include an afternoon with internationally renowned photographer Mary Ellen Mark, including lunch with Ms. Mark at New York City’s famous Balthazar Restaurant; a collection of fifty photography books published by Aperture; a free digital photography or computer graphics course at Pratt CCPS; a B&H Photo gift card; a J. Crew gift card and personal styling consultation; Strand gift cards, and more.
More information coming soon!
