I don’t really measure success by anything other than if I am happy. That is success to me. Am I happy waking up every morning? And despite the challenges of running my own business, do I look forward to going to work? Absolutely.

The biggest part of my fashion choices is how comfortable it is

It was always sort of my dream to make handbags and I wanted a handbag that was very sharp, very structured, very tailored I wanted a bag you could put all of your things in it, you can open it, you could close it, you could hid all your tricks, but it's not all lumpy.

Every season I try to top myself, and push it a little further.

People often try to disguise televisions. I always think that makes it worse. It is what it is!

It's so important your customer can rely on you for your classics.

My theory is that balance is key - nothing in excess.
