[CONTEST] Win a Betty Stripe Skull Bag!

THIS CONTEST IS CLOSED! Thanks for participating!

The print on this bag might look familiar. It's Noah's 347. Skulledelic design. With Noah's permission, Paul's Boutique used the image to make this Betty Stripe Skull Bag. This is a fairly large bag that can carry a lot of things. Because this bag is so awesome, Noah is giving away one bag to one lucky fan!!!



PRIZE INFO: One Betty Stripe Skull Bag created by Noah Scalin and Paul's Boutique. The dimensions are 18.5" wide by 11.75" high. The bottom is about 7" deep. The striped skull design is on the front, and the straight stripes continues down the bottom to the back in one full piece of fabric. The top has a full zipper and a snap flap to keep any bag contents secure. The handle, zipper tabs, zipper pull, and snap flap are hot pink. There is a cluster of decorative dangles that are removable, but contain a couple skulls in with the other elements. The lining is a tan plastic-like fabric that is sewn together with the outer Nylon fabric.

HOW TO ENTER: Leave a comment below telling us what you would carry inside of this bag. For example, I'd likely put in a small purse, some skull artwork, some art supplies, and probably some snacks.

I would carry my mini-bag with my business cards in it, my wallet, my notebook (even though I never write in it) and all the goodies that just make their way into my purse that I forget to take out!

Crystal Rister said...

That bag is a beauty! If I were to by some miracle win it, I would carry my pencil sketching supplies, my Kindle, my bilfold and planner, of course my simple peices of makeup. I also always carry little hair bows for my little girls.

Oohhh love it!! My wallet for sure, my kindle, my phone, my makeup, maybe some teabags and granola bars to get me through the busy days, and I'm sure some action figures and matchbox cars will find their way in there for my 4 yr old!

ghoulnexdoor said...

Man oh man, this bag! I'd carry some light reading (The Essential Clive Barker, perhaps), my spooky knitting projects, a wedge of fine cheese, a baguette, and a bottle of merlot. Then I would climb to the top tower of a haunted castle and have a delicious picnic seance. If my ghostly guests did not show, I would read and/or knit. Win-win! Especially if I WON WON this fantastic bag!

Unknown said...

On the weekends I would love to harbor any trinkets I may discover while I am downtown and browsing at the farmer's markets in Germany. I would carry my normal artillery composed of my dia de los muertos skull and roses notebook, black leather sketchbook, and all my pencils, pastels, charcoals, and pens. I believe it is even big enough to squeeze my 35mm on top of it all! Imagine that! :D

I am wishing all the best of luck to all those entering. However, if I by chance am up for consideration this bag would be a wonderful addition and it's just in time for spring to add a little flare to my wardrobe! I cannot say enough how much I adore this bag! And let me tell you, I am normally not much of a pink person, but on the days I'd love to show a bit more bright colors this would do the trick and add some contrast to my daily attire! What a beautiful bag and fun style! Thank you for sharing this with the world Paul and thanks to Skull-A-Day. I can never get enough skulls. I have quite a quirky obsession with them!

I would use it to carry all of the things that my kids and I take to keep them busy while we are in the car! Looks like it would have plenty of room for all four of them to carry their kindles, crayons, paper, colouring books, snacks, etc....

Cate Fitt said...

If I won this bag I would be tempted to keep it but in the end would give it to my friend who loves to knit skull themed items for her friends' babies.

Unknown said...

Black makeup pouch with my skull keychain hanging out with emergency fruit snacks. Mamma needs a new bag badly!

I am a cemetery educator for my business, The Gravestone Girls. This bag would be perfect for my research supplies, camera, cemetery books & maps. I would also carry it to the public cemetery presentations I do, which would make a big entrance on arrival!

That is a good question.

I have a feeling the usual stuff, wallet, keys, phone, 3DS, lipbalm.

But I'd have a feeling if I had a purse, I'd go full granny and carry around hard candies and moist towelettes. But in order to keep with the theme, I'd have to make sure they were skull hard candies that I've saved from Halloweens past.

Magdalena said...

Are photographs okay?

Because words can't express why I need this bag - I must have it because it will PERFECTLY match my ipod case and pink wallet with skulls! I think it was made to carry these things :)

I think this bag is just big enough to hold my laptop which means I could use it as a work tote :)

Unknown said...

I have a tool for prying locks since I need to open many locked trunks, boxes etc. for work. Hand sanitizer because I'm always touching icky stuff at work. I carry a face mask too, so I don't get Legion Aires Disease from my work. You see, I'm a Junker who scavengers around in peoples discarded rubbish and turns around and sells it as vintage and antique treasures. It's dangerous work so a skull bag designed by Noah would be fitting for me to carry around. washarobin@yahoo.com ~Thanks Robin~

meatnpotatoes36 said...

I would keep all my purse essentials in this kickass bag. That includes ( but is not limited to): keys, phone, deck of cards, eyeliner, lip gloss, book, wallet, and pocket knife.
Thank you!

In this delightful bag I would carry the obvious wallet, cell phone, business card carrier, makeup bag, and my sketchbook. However, I would also carry an amalgamation of information that I have gathered in research on different studies that interest me. I would carry lists of the things that I need to do and acquire before I move in to my first apartment in RVA. At any moment in time I would also probably have a crochet project, a protein bar, and a drink in there as well. I carry a lot with me at all times.

CupcakeAbyss said...

This would be perfect for carrying my knife kit to and from work. Most chef's knife cases are SO boring and it's hard to find anything to fit a 10"-12" blade let alone the rest of set.

The souls of my enemies. And candy.

I love this bag and stare at it more than once a week! I have a tiger eye skull head about 3 inches tall to carry in this wonderful tote- along with my girly things- I promise to be true and love this forever and promote to all I see. I wish I could just BUY IT!

markymark said...

i'd use that bag even if i didn't have anything to put in it!

but for real I'd carry my kindle, phone, little skull monogrammed medicine case, epi pens (i have stupid bad allergies) and my camera (i tend to wander melrose, Venice, and DTLA to take pictures of all the street art, especially skull themed street art when i can find it). oh and my little gargoyle charm named Irving that goes everywhere with me.

Madame Mari Mortem said...

Well, I would put special mementos that I've gathered; things that have a skull on it somehow.
Then give it entirely to a special friend of mine.

beingwoman said...

I would keep adventures of the mind. Like the Skull that cradles our brian energy and makes us who we are as we travel through the day. So the lips- stick or balm; the mouth- gum and almonds to feed; for the eyes- lashes and sunglasses, for the nose- a tissue for the blowing and for the brain- notebook for ideas that will change the world for the good of all human kind. And some pocketbook money for those things we forgot. Oh, then for the arm this hand bag will hang from- sassy jazz. Email: greigbridget@comcast.net

Scott Schluter said...

I wouldn't carry anything, but my wife would carry what appears to be a duplicate of everything we own in our house.

Pick me please please please!!! Pick me!! I would carry a colour print copy of every single skull Noah has ever created so that if anyone in South Africa (where I am lucky enough to live) comments on the absolute stunningness of my bag, i could whip out all the other stunning creations of one of my favourite artists ever!! Puh-lease pick me! seriously, please....

Unknown said...

AAAAHH!! in the excitememtn to beg you to pick me, I forgot my email address!!! christine@blueyeinteriors.co.za

I'm an interior designer in South Africa and would put all your stuff in my shop Noah, I absolutely LOVE your work!!

The ShanMonster said...

It would become my CrossFit bag! I'd carry my wushu shoes, speed rope, wrist wraps, receiver gloves, water bottle, and WoD book inside. And maybe a couple of Lara bars in case of emergency.

I love love it! My daily read, wallet and favorite SKULL stuff, wallet blah blah!

Karen said...

Hmmm....in addition to obvious things like keys and money, I would probably carry my Skull-a-Day Moleskine, my Skull-a-Day book autographed by Noah, my iPod in its Dia de los Muertos pouch, and a copy of Kathleen Cohen's "Metamorphosis of a Death Symbol: The Transi Tomb in the Late Middle Ages and the Renaissance," which is all about cadaver tomb effigies like this one.

Oh, and probably a snack.

I can toss that rat messenger bag for this ass kicking Betty Strip Skull Bag!?! Shit...I already know that my 7 year old daughter would give me her Puss-n-Boots eyes with the quivering lip & "memememememe!" statement. She just wrapped up her meet season & needs a new gym bag. She's gotta look good training for the TOPS program in gymnastics. The team girls would absolutely die for her bag!! Needless to say my purse crap, books, tablets, drawing books & books would get bumped for leo's, snacks, cards (poker), Milo glasses, water bottle & grips gear, just to start! THOUGHT: Her chances aren't any less considering the inside of this gorgeous bag will have a fine coating of chalk on it, will she? NOW this would make her a true fashionista heading to practice! Hoping karma plays its role here....thanks for the beautiful bag. Life just got sweeter!

LOVE this bag! I would carry my little handbag, Kleenexes, my business cards, hand lotion, sunglasses and probably a lot more in this bag. I certainly would tote it with me everywhere! :)

I would hold my life in it just like every other girl, the essentals: make-up, Mario bones turtle wallet (with money and cards included ;P), my kindel, one of my vampire/paranormal porn (romance) books (yes I carry a book and a kindel, dont be a hater). A deck of cards (regular cards or phase 10), my ed hardy perfume. and a bunch of other odds and ends. <3

ethan said...

Hmmm, if I had this bag I'd carry my French Bulldog named Bones in it! :) Well, not really he wouldn't put up with that tomfoolery. I'd probably give it to my beautiful wife who loves all things skull & skeleton related who would undoubtedly put it to very good use.

Michelle said...

I would definitely find a stuffed bobcat to carry around. I'd put an ipad in it playing some animal noises and I'd let the head stick out so people would think for a second, 'what a cute dog-er... wait a minute...'. and maybe some business cards.

Because we can't all hide behind Daryl Dixon... Unfortunately.

Beth said...

This would be a perfect bag to carry around my vertebrae specimens from the Biodiversity center back to the University of Wyoming art building. I have been using a box and get the greatest looks from people who see that I am lugging around dead animals on campus, but with this bag I could really carry them around in the style they deserve.

my wallet my phone and a sharpie

Kirin said...

It would definitely go everywhere with me! The size is fantastical and could carry all of my things for sure. It would carry the essentials like my skully wallet, phone and lip balm. I don't tend to carry make-up with me, so that might not be in it... But, it would have snacks in it! You never know where you're going to be and when you'll get hungry. A water bottle for sure. I could shimmy my laptop in there. And some drawing supplies. And, when I go to the beach, it could carry my sun screens. While it's at home with me, I'm sure one of my cats would love to snuggle into it for hours. Oh how I would love it!

Thank you! kiriknapp@gmail.com

With a slight modification of subduing the pink color. i would then turn this into a manly diaper bag.

I would carry a wallet, chap stick, gum, snacks etc.. A copy of the Beastie Boys "Paul's Boutique" and assorted print outs from the "Skull a Day" site for inspiration(ex.the stencil project in the loo museum).
Then that would leave enough room to fill it up with whatever the day brings you!
