Poise.cc in the News

I went out of town for a few days to take a much needed vacation in a much loved city. The humidity of New Orleans was like a hug once I got out of the airport and I ate, walked, and relaxed my way across the city. And while I was gone, I got two wonderful mentions in the press I'd like to tell you about.

The first one is:
Poise.cc is retro-chic. I knew that. You probably knew that. And now many other people will get to know it, all thanks to a delightful mention on StyleChicago.com. Not only did I get a fabulous mention on a cool, hip site. I got mentioned on the same page as Diane von Furstenburg, the queen of prints and color combinations. I may not be quite ready to become the DvF of handbags, but I do love me so prints mixed with prints. Thanks, Style Chicago.

The second one is:
I received a letter a few months ago from the organizers behind Purses with Purpose in Portland, Maine. It's a fundraiser for the local Ronald McDonald House and the focus is entirely on handbags. From handbags that are from top-tier designers and donated by people like Glenn Close to people like me. People who make handbags as part of a fledgling business. I've got high hopes that their fundraiser was a huge success.
