So You Want to be a Designer?

Do you love handbags? Do you ever think to yourself? Gee, I wish they made a bag that looks like... Think you've got what it takes to create your own handbags? Skip the Hermes, this is a ME original. 'Handbag Designer 101: Everything You Need to Know About Making, Designing, & Marketing Handbags' was written by Emily Blumenthal handbag website www.handbagdesigner101.com.

Emily created the Yasmena bag which hit "the big time" and sold out on shopping channel QVC in a mere four minutes. The bag even scored a cameo on Sex and the City.

Who did Emily write the book to help? Anybody who is interested in creating handbags, from those who want to create something to use personally or those who want to offer custom creations at the local flea market or even the wanna be pro.

Inside the book you'll find fifteen different templates for bags, including templates for a hobo, a clutch, a satchel and even a messenger bag. Along with the templates you'll find patterns and rather easy to follow directions.

Not only does the book help new designers create their bags but it also offers insights into the business of creating marketable designs. If you think you want to take a stab at designing a bag, this book is a great place to start and you can pick it up from Amazon for less than $20.00.
