Blog Moving to Tumblr

To everyone following the Ora Bags feed: we are switching the Ora blog over to Tumblr effective immediately! Our new blog address is http://blog.orabags.com, so to make sure you don’t miss any news from us, please update to our new RSS feed (or just click +Follow if you’re already part of the Tumblr community).

(And don’t worry, all our existing posts will still be archived for eternity.)

Why? This new backend allows for easier and quicker posting/sharing/everything. We heart Tumblr over here. The theme has yet to be “Ora-fied” but that’ll come eventually. Thanks for reading!!
