Thoughts on the Naming of a Purse…

Or Apron…

I would like to say there is some scientific or marketing wizardry going on here, but truthfully the names just come to us. Maybe there is some great purse muse in the sky, and as corny as it sounds, when we are done with a purse it “speaks” to us.

The first few, The “*****”, The “Michele”, The “Brittney”, The “Katie” & The “******” were named after us and our three daughters, not terribly inspired, the muse had not yet spoken! Then, as if from some great place on high, names just started flowing, sometimes it happens during the creative process or not until the final stitch is done. Then suddenly there it is, the name! The purse is just screaming, “this is who I am!” All but one of the names come from people we know, so you may ask, “what the heck, where’s the purse muse?” She is there though, I swear!

The “Yolanda” is named after a friend that I have known since the first day of high school. Smart and dependable, sturdy and cute (without being cutesy), and oh so multi-faceted describes both the woman and the purse perfectly!

The “Topanga” is named after the character on Boy Meets World. Her parents were hippie, flower-child types, thus her name! Because neither ***** nor I had any hippie names to draw from, the muse sent us Topanga. Even without the peace sign print this purse needed a good hippie name!

The “Leila Mae” is named after my grandmother. She was - and this vintage-styled apron is - old-fashioned, homey, comfortable and can be relied on to protect you. You can’t help but create “yummy” concoctions in the kitchen while wearing this apron, just like my grandma!

The “*****” is named after *****’s grandma. This comfy apron is saucy, sassy and spunky, yet surprisingly sweet, just like the grandma that inspired her name. Imagine all of the spicy, sweet delicacies you’ll prepare wearing this apron.

So, as you see ***** & I definitely have a hot-line to the great purse muse on high!

The “Florie” & The “Phatty Matty”(that one just makes us laugh!!)
