IN GOOD COMPANY

Top rated TV show true to Roots
The Roots Business-to-Business Department keeps chalking up the hits. Latest proof: the cast and crew of the hit HBO TV series Entourage are now making use of their customized Banff Bags.

Made of 100% genuine leather at the Roots factory in Toronto, the small Banff bags come with an embroidered logo of the show’s title, as well as the classic Roots Genuine Leather logo.

Product Coordinator David Jackson handled the order and sent 200 black and 50 brown bags to the Entourage producers earlier this month. The producers then gave the bags to the cast and crew at their wrap party in Los Angeles.

Roots Co-Founder Michael Budman and Los Angeles-based Roots salesperson Wendy Goodman made initial contact with Entourage’s production company, and Graphic Artist Winnie Tam designed the artwork.

Entourage, which is based on the Hollywood experiences of executive producer Mark Wahlberg, has been hailed as one of the best comedies on TV and has received eight Emmy and four Golden Globe nominations. Adrian Grenier stars along side Kevin Connolly, Kevin Dillon, Jerry Ferrara, Debi Mazar and Emmy award winner Jeremy Piven.

Entourage finished its third season in the U.S. last month and is scheduled to premiere in Canada on October 9 on CityTV. Check local listings for show times.
