Sopo Tchoup – Out to Lunch – It’s New Orleans

May 14, 2015 Out to Lunch Comments Off on Sopo Tchoup – Out to Lunch – It’s New Orleans

Every time a new mobile device comes out we can put more stuff on it. These days we don’t need to carry a calendar, phone book, yellow pad, book, map, magazine, music player, camera, DVD player, laptop, or even a heart monitor. So what, exactly, are we putting in these bags and backpacks we all lug around? Somebody who knows the answer to that is Patti Dunn.

Patti’s New Orleans company, Tchoup Industries, makes bags and back packs. 

If you have the right font on your device, Sopo has two dots over the “o’s” like Motorhead and Motley Crue. But SOPO is not a band, it’s the name of a store on a retail-challenged stretch of Carrollton Avenue where they sell Tchoup bags and other New Orleans made artisan products.
