Friday marked the last day the Vagabonds were in the office at TOMS headquarters! Today, we hit the road on our tour of the Southwest and we couldn’t be more stoked. Last week was absolutely nuts – preparing for a three month tour in a van is not an easy thing. We organized and packed inventory (and trust me when I tell you that packing a 15-passenger van is a lot harder than a game of Tetris), put together art supplies, and – of course – continued booking our tour! We definitely learned what shuffling around boxes in a van is really going to be like for the next twelve weeks. Friday, the Vagabonds attended the Falling Whistles Fashion Show in downtown Los Angeles. We were very excited to support an organization that helps raise awareness and bring an end to child soldiers in DR Congo. Falling Whistles is nothing but supportive of TOMS and we’re looking forward to returning the love!
Kelli, Blair and I were so sad to say goodbye to our fellow Vagabonds this morning… but we definitely made this past weekend one of the best! We had a farewell breakfast Saturday morning before loading boxes into our respective vans and this morning, the TOMS staff and the Vagabonds had their very own Style Your Sole event as part of our tour launch party.
We can’t believe that we’re already on the road – but we couldn’t be happier to come to a city near you to spread the TOMS love! Get excited!

Just wanted to let you know to keep up the good work! I love toms shoes and get complimented on my plaid pair everywhere I go. What a great conversation starter since I don’t have to stop after the “thanks…I like your shoes too”. I have to continue the conversation about how they are my favorite pair of shoes because they’re so incredibly comfortable and buying them helps others…you get the point. So thanks for your work with toms!
Nice work guys, eyes on the prize – you’ll have a ball!!
Woo! march 18th!
That’s absolutely fantastic! I am planning on joining the vagabond tour in the near future, so I hope all goes well for you guys! Have fun! :]
