On top of all that, she is the best-selling author of the book titled Handbag Designer 101: Everything You Need to Know About Designing, Making and Marketing Handbags.

She observed how women would benefit from a small purse that would allow their hands to be free when they were out at night. She designed such a purse, had them manufactured, and sold them to various boutiques. Before long, she had multiple licensing deals, with her brand being sold at Macy’s, Dillard’s and QVC. She has also been a consultant for various handbag brands. Her book includes instructions for creating 15 essential handbag styles, with easy-to-follow instructions. She even includes the inside scoop of turning your handbags into a successful business.
