Hi! Tim and Dan here to share a personal message with our community. We’re having to re-evaluate our business given our retailers have closed their doors while travel / commute are at a standstill.
We apologize we've been silent on our media channels as we're taking time to figure out how to navigate all the challenges COVID-19 is creating for our business and personal lives.
Most people may not realize we operate as a small team. Support has yet to come from the SBA (Paycheck Protection Program) as we hoped it would help keep the business running through COVID-19.
We're continually checking in with our family, friends, and colleagues to see if they’re safe and healthy. Unfortunately, we've heard about the tough decisions that were made about laying off most staff to keep their businesses alive and others that were laid off from their companies.
We're reaching out to ask you to support small businesses during these tough times so that we may continue to create products for an ever-changing era of work.
We're asking if you could support in any way possible.
Although our main sale is over, we're offering up to 20% off all bags and free US shipping this week. (using code SUPPORTSMALLBIZ20)
For those who would like to support in other ways, we're also offering gift cards for future purchases starting at 25$ – $50 for anyone you would like to gift. OR if you would simply like to make a donation via PayPal at shop@haerfest.us ("Friends and Family" Option) or via Venmo @HAERFESTNYC (any amount helps)

Donate"All of us, at some time or other, need help. Whether we're giving or receiving help, each one of us has something valuable to bring to this world. That's one of the things that connects us as neighbors — in our own way, each one of us is a giver and a receiver."
