In the same way that men wear ties to add personality to their clothing, so too should women wear their accessories.

I'm a big list maker. But if I cross off too many tasks and it's hard to see the remaining ones, I have to start a new list.

People have this impression that I'm a little kooky, but I'm actually very OCD.

I believe that accessories should bring color and texture to an every day wardrobe based on each individual's sense of style.

I started getting orders from some of the leading stores Fred Segal, Bergdorf Goodman. I realized then that my bags were being noticed by the fashion world.

I did not go to fashion school. I arrived in New York in 1986 from Kansas City and was working as accessories editor for Mademoiselle Magazine. While working at Mademoiselle I noticed that the market lacked stylish and sensible handbags, so I decided to create my own.

I adore pretty things & witty words.
