I love creating new looks for my z becky brown handbag, and I love to make my inserts a little different and special. Using the blank template I can make as many designs as I want.

A trip to my neighbor’s garden gave me the idea for this purse. She was cutting enormous leaves and gave me an armful. Some went into a vase, but I took others straight to the copy center while the color was still bright and distinct, cut off the stems, and arranged them overlapping, face down to make 11 x 17 copies. I cut the copies using the z becky brown purse insert templates for measurements and backed them with cardboard for added stability. Then I outlined a few of the leaves with tiny crystal AB (2mm) gems, accenting others with clusters of gems.

A heat-activated gem applicator tool makes applying itty bitty gems quite easy. Alternatively, use the point of a pin to apply gem glue; it only takes a tiny dab. If you’re not one for glitz, omit the gems.

Options:
Instead of using a photocopy, use a computer scanner or a camera.
Instead of leaves, choose close-ups of flowers, a cactus, blades of grass, or whatever you want.

Hint for working at a copy center:
Take glass cleaner and paper towels with you so you can clean the glass on the color copier before you start, then clean the glass afterward so the leaves don’t leave any marks that might damage the next person’s copies.

What does it really mean to purchase a product that is “Made in America?”

Follow me, it’s a great ride!

I began z becky brown by looking for a handbag I could not find …what transpired next truly only happens in America …I made it myself. Just like thousands of other small entrepreneurs who live and work and thrive in freedom. We have the freedom to succeed or fail and there are many failures along the way which only strengthen you.

As I traveled down this road, I ventured into a whole new world of product development, massive steel tools, injection molding, patents, suppliers, details and more details in order to design a handbag that can be changed on a whim. Two years later z becky brown took center stage, committed to producing the ultimate fashion accessory with infinite design possibilities.

Now be careful there is a fork in the highway ahead. What will you buy? Made in USA, or Made in China? There is a multiplying affect to your decision.

When you purchase a z becky brown handbag you are supporting American jobs at the twelve USA companies we depend on to supply us with specific parts to produce our handbags and inserts. When a product is manufactured in the USA, the economic growth for other companies is multiplied by using USA suppliers of parts, assembly, boxes, printing, and so much more. Those are companies with jobs for Americans who wake up each day, go to work and make this a great nation for their families and us. It’s is such a simple handbag, but it is true.

Have a great trip and make sure you take the road less traveled.
Buy products Made in the USA!

z becky brown handbags, Made in America the possibilities are endless, distinctively reflective of you, our customer.

Stylish new designs for you

Cosmopolitan Insert with Black Lid, Beaded Handle

Cosmopolitan Insert – The classic black and white geometrical shapes make me think of Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The only problem I have with a handbag that evokes the Queen of style Audrey Hepburn is now I really want an Audrey hat… and Audrey long black gloves (or perhaps the whole outfit). The Cosmopolitan, clean, classic and unique.

Drama Queen

Drama Queen Insert – Time to get fabulous and have a retro comics handbag. This one just invites a little personal tweak, slip in a few more drama queens, pop culture references or favourite comics in on top. With a wonderful base like this yours truly is tempted to change it a little every day so that I can share with friends and strangers my favourite webcomics.

Swanky Suede and Cheetah

Swanky Suede/Cheetah Reversible Insert – a perfect day and night combination. Go to work with a handbag in sophisticated embroidered suede. Then simply reverse your insert for luxurious faux fur (no gorgeous cheetah‘s harmed making our bags) and look purrrfect in the evening.
