I was shopping at the LA Gift Show two weeks ago and found some wonderful bags made from recycled materials. I enjoyed them so much I had trouble choosing what to buy for “Out of Hand”. The artist pointed out one in particular and said it was her best seller because it was “Ugly Betty’s” purse. Unsure of who was ugly, Betty or the purse.
I thought I’d try a few. They sold immediately and I heard over and over again- That’s Ugly Betty’s purse.
My son visited last week and since he works in the entertainment industry, he brought an entertainment magazine and on page 6 there it was-Betty and the purse. Unbelievable!
But not to be overlooked are the one of a kind bags made from rice sacks. Designer Rebecca Moling has her bags made by a women’s co-op in the Philippines , giving them the opportunity to develop business skills and have a sustainable income.
Rebecca calls her bags environmentally stylish and I have to agree. They’re colorful and beautifully designed. As to “Ugly Betty”,Thanks for the education.
