Brunswick, Maine—Rough & Tumble, the Maine-based handbag maker, is known for its innovative and anything-but-typical customization services offering patrons anywhere in the world the rare ability to be the designers of their own, handmade creations. This distinctive brand differentiator is gaining big-screen attention. Rough & Tumble is being featured on a 4,000 square foot billboard in NYC's Time Square and on the famed Disney® Building at 1540 Broadway from February 24 to March 2, 2020.
"It's so special to be invited to appear on a Times Square billboard to showcase our groundbreaking 'Become The Designer' brand focus," says Natasha Durham, Rough & Tumble's Founder and Creative Director. "Rough & Tumble is already known as the industry standout in expertly crafted quality, and especially as one of the few U.S. companies still crafting one bag at-a-time by one local maker,” she continues. “In fact, we coined the phrase ‘studio manufacturing’ to describe our resolve to never succumb to the growing pressure to mass-produce.”
The brand’s Become the Designer customization experience provides limitless customization possibilities to handbag collectors wanting to own heirloom-worthy bags that fit their distinctive individualities and real-world functionality requirements.
