So the time has come, to make some big decisions and life changes… and TJ Inc is going to have a bitter sweet moment.
Many of you know, that TJ Inc is run by me… Tracy Joy, partnered by my mother and sister, with help along the way from my friend Susanne (thank you girlfriend!!!). Our little business is often seen as a large enterprise by some, but the truth is… we are a family run business who has always taken pride in staying small and being “one” with our clientele. Unlike many of our competitors, we dont have a large warehouse, or other employees… it is just us 3 women, joined together, doing what we love and making people happy in the process 🙂
However, I am also a professional photographer… and co-founder of Prop Insanity. Due to this fact… my days are loaded with work, and little time for “else”. Not to mention… my sisters is due to have her first child this summer!!! Needless to say, time is not always available, and will only be getting tighther. So…I must make a choice… and I my heart has lead me to the followin decision…..
Tracy Joy Camera Bags will be retiring… on hiatis… however you wish to call it, but we will be “closing” shop.
This decision is ONLY due to the fact that there is only enough time in a day for so much, and my photography has grown to be such an amazing passion, that I wish to pursue it full time. Along with the care of my children, who are home with me. I’m a mother, and photographer… and very excited about this next chapter in my life!
BUT DON’T FRET MY LOYAL CLIENTELE & Friends… we WILL still be creating, sewing, selling our ENTIRE accessory and flaps & insert for your TJ bags! We wouldn’t leave you with a bangin’ bag, and no fun accessories to boot! 🙂 So don’t worry too much.. your TJ bag can still be dolled up, shown off and bragged about. After all the bags sell… we will market and sell our accessories, flaps & inserts from our original Etsy site, www.TracyJoy.etsy.com Until then, all purchases can be made direct from our shops here.
Now… the GOOD NEWS!!! We will be having A GIANT SALE on all of our bags!
Starting June 1st:
All Reese bags will be discounted to 40% off!!!
All Kristine & Joey bags will be discounted to 20% off!
*quantities are limited, and bags are first come first served… so don’t miss out on owning your own brilliant Tracy Joy bag! And to be honest… who can beat our already low prices, on such an amazing product! The sales will continue until our inventory runs out… so don’t wait!
So as I type the above bitter sweet words… I thank YOU… our thousands of amazing customers, friends, and other supporters… who have taken this amazing 3 year journey with us… what a ride! And hey, this doesnt have to be “forever”… we are not selling our name, or disolving our company…. just taking a hiatis to see where life takes us, and my dreams of photography travel!
What started out as a blip in the photography world, as one single camera bag… has become a well known name, in the hands of thousands of world renowned photographers…. we are honored, blessed, and so proud of who Tracy Joy Inc has become, and have YOU to thank!
as I always say… THANKS BUNCHES!
