Hartmann Announces Winner of Tweed Sweepstakes



Hartmann is excited to announce the winner of its Hartmann Tweed Sweepstakes, which ended August 15. Stephen Twiss of North Little Rock, Ark., has been awarded a 4-day/3-night dream trip for two to New York City, compliments of Hartmann; Delta Air Lines; Morton'ss The Steakhouse; and Starwood Hotels.

Twiss, a first-time visitor to the Big Apple, was thrilled upon hearing the news that he had won the sweepstakes. When I entered I thought to myself, what are my chances of actually winning the contest, said Twiss. When I received the envelope saying I had won, my jaw dropped to the pavement; I couldn'st believe it. I'sve never won anything like this before!

We plan to take our trip in April of next year, said Twiss. Since neither I nor Ellen has ever been to New York City before, we will have to make the most out of our stay and pack a great deal of sightseeing into the trip.

While in New York City, Twiss and his guest will stay at the Sheraton New York City Hotel and Tower and enjoy dinner for two with limo service at Morton'ss The Steakhouse. Airfare for the two will be provided by Delta Air Lines.

As the winner of the sweepstakes, Twiss also received select pieces from the updated Walnut Tweed Collection. This is the most exquisite luggage I'sve ever seen in my life, explained Twiss. I'sve never owned anything from Hartmann, but have known of the brand and its high end, luxury luggage for some time. Twiss continued by saying, The quality of the construction, minute attention to detail, how the bags are reinforced in all the right places--I can'st wait to put them to good use.
