Bag a Barney Bag for £1

01/06/2010

The Barney Guild has announced that the price of the Barney Bag is being reduced to £1 while stocks last.

The jute bags, which went on sale in March 2009, have been sold through a number of town centre retailers.  In less than a year since their launch, more than 2,500 have been sold.  The most successful retailers have been the Teesdale Mercury shop and The Orchard.

Annalisa Ward, coordinator of the Barney Guild which issues the bags, said: “The Barney Bag continues to prove really popular.  The price has been reduced for remaining stocks of this design, and the next version of the Barney Bag will shortly be in production.

“Not only is this a green choice for shoppers, but it is also good promotion for the town.  Whenever and wherever they are taken out, people who see them are reminded that Barnard Castle is a great place to come and shop.”
