Since 2006, LexiWynn has been dedicated to helping each customer design a completely unique and custom purse or bag to compliment her individual style. Each LexiWynn handbag is a personal expression of its designer – you. Because fabric and hardware combinations are rarely replicated, your bag is truly one-of-a-kind.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11210688292949622799noreply@blogger.comBlogger33125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7158273001973901907.post-48571491898264908832014-11-05T11:12:00.000-08:002014-11-05T11:12:00.925-08:00Our Road Ends Here <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It is with heavy hearts as we announce that our custom handbag company, LexiWynn Designs, will be closing the doors after Christmas. It has been so much fun making our dream of manufacturing custom bags in America a reality, and has given all of us here at LexiWynn great purpose! Though “It’s the end of the road” for LexiWynn, we will always hold true to what we stand for. </div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
It is not too late for you to get your last LexiWynn! We will be taking custom orders through mid-December, however the Christmas delivery cutoff is mid-November. We also have a considerable amount of discounted off-the-rack merchandise that is available from our Design Consultants and our show room in Libertyville, IL. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
We are so grateful for all our clients who have shared in the vision of being involved in the creative process. Through your purchases, you have helped to support the local economy and given people jobs in a pleasant work environment. Hopefully you enjoyed the outcome of your selections when you made the choice to design your custom handbags. We hope you continue to make intentional purchases from other hardworking companies. </div>

The end of summer is here. It is hard to believe that fall is already peeking around the corner. The days are getting shorter, kids are back in school and football games are scheduled. You can even smell it in the air: Late season Perennials and evening bonfires. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the setting of our recent photo shoot, which is the back of our building here in Libertyville, IL. I also love the model, Linzy Westman. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rest assured she is much more then just a pretty face! I know Linzy primarily as one of the very talented worship leaders at my church. She is also a singer/songwriter. Lately I have been fortunate to get to know her on a more personal level. After learning about her goals for herself, her creative spirit and witnessing how she uses her talents to benefit others, I knew we had to feature her in a photo shoot! I am very pleased to showcase a few of the photos which highlight her beauty. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is another popular style, the Katy Sue. The fabrics in this purse are so fun! I loved how Linzy draws the eye to the poppy color with the use of her scarf. (This is also a great look for this time of year when it starts to cool off.) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here at LexiWynn, I get to meet a lot of creative people, as you can imagine.<br />
Sometimes I get to share little pieces of their talent, one of whom is my photographer friend Carrianne (you can check out her links below). Her talent brings out the best in mine so I wanted to share the collaboration. </div>

It is the end of the weekend and I am mentally getting ready for next week's work load. "Did a whole week already go by?" I think to myself as I look over at my teenage son, who needs to remove his peach fuzz. We have agreed that Monday morning is the day he would shave his mustache and the little hairs on his chin. Eeek! Once a week is all he needs to get the job done, for now... The weeks are going by so fast and this little distasteful reminder, when I see the black haze above his lip, makes me feel that time is running out.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Instagram is a great way to mark the passage of time, because as I look at my photos I have posted, it will show the weeks. There is a photo I took last spring, when we first noticed he had passed me up. It was 59 weeks ago, just over a year from today. Now he is at least six inches taller then me (keep in mind, I am super short). It is <i>shocking</i> the change that occurs seemingly overnight and my heart can hardly contain itself. </div>

There are so many emotions:</div>
<br />
PRIDE because you can see the man he will become.<br />
<br />
HOPE because he sometimes opens doors and carries stuff for you!<br />
<br />
SADNESS because he is growing up so fast, there are only a few more years left to enjoy this person who just yesterday was a boy.<br />
<br />
FRUSTRATION (Panic may be a better word) because he is growing up so fast and you only have a few more years to make sure he can function in society!<br />
<br />
IRRITATION because, oh my gosh, I am still clipping his nails! (Also there is a small sense of<i> failure</i>)<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
GRATITUDE because he still lets you clip his nails.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
GRATITUDE because I was the one chosen to raise him. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I strive to balance running our small startup company with home life, I realize my thoughts are always consumed with my family. That is where a Mother's heart lies. I am sometimes distracted, thankfully, by my work which, on most days, is <i>fun</i>, <i>creative</i> and <i>engaging</i>. But my true heart lies with my boys. That is what I signed up for. So really, there is no balance between work and family life. The scale for me, is always tipped. </div>

I was going to title this entry "A Day in the Life of a Custom Bag". However, as I have thought through what I wanted to share, the story has changed into <i>much</i> more then the process of making a bag. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has become deeply personal for me as I introduce the individuals who touch each custom order. So, here are My People who carefully, skillfully, handle each bag:</div>

After the orders are taken by our AMAZING Design Consultants, they are sent in to Dina. Here she is hard at work at the computer. Dina also does all sorts of odd jobs to keep things running smoothly. She is the voice our Design Consultants hear when they have questions. And my most trusted employee and friend.<br />

After the orders are processed, each one is hand cut by Noelia. In order to do her job efficiently she must know each design, fabric, leather and material we have to offer. An incredible task for anyone! She is a perfectionist and pretty much runs the show. She also is an excellent operator who sews our most detailed applications. (She was trained by the best though! Her predecessor has moved onto bigger and better things and we miss her every day.)</div>

Francisca gets the bags started by sewing the appropriate interlining on each piece. She also prepares the linings of each bag to be sewn to the outside of the bag. Bless her heart, she loves to give gifts and is a faithful employee. </div>

The above photo are (some of) the things I personally am carrying around. The item I am most excited about is the IPad cover (the grey and white damask print zippered case) that we are just now rolling out. Note the gloves. Yes it is the middle of May, but in the upper mid-west you should never leave the house without them (and a hat and scarf!)</div>

The common things everyone has in their bag are: Keys, a wallet and personal care items. The other items that <i>most</i> people have in their purses are tissues and writing utensils. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do we need to be hauling around the other things you might find in your bag? Endless receipts, gum wrappers, expired coupons, etc. </div>

What is in <i>your </i>bag? Do you need to edit the things you feel you need to have on you at all times? A great way to counteract this trend towards overstuffing, is by regularly switching out your bag! More on that later...</div>

This year as I celebrate Mother's Day and bask in the glory of being called "Mom", I appreciate and understand more fully what it truly means to have that title. While my Mother gave me so much, ironically, she did not teach me these things I now know:</div>

I<i> now</i> know the sacrifices she made for her family. I can relate to the love, insecurities and pain she felt for her children when they struggled. I understand the joy of watching her children grow up and the love that grows with them. I am learning the scary feeling of having to let the kids go off and make their own mistakes, suffer their own consequences, and the Faith required to not interfere.</div>

This is one of my favorite photos of my boys when they called me "Mommy". They would not sit still. Ever. Notice the sand on the little one's face... I wonder how<i> that</i> got there. They were annoying and always in my way when I was trying to work. They were silly, loud and naughty. Back then I loved being a mother but it was hard and I did not appreciate their cuteness. Now I do; I sigh when I look at old photos, now that they are almost grown. When I hug them my arms can hardly get around them, and cuddling is awkward. They call me "Mom" or sometimes "Mother", which is weird. I only have a few more years with them under my own roof.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will cherish them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I hope your Mother's Day is a happy one. If you are a Mother, I hope you get a pat on your back for all you do, and you hug your kids even if it is awkward. If you have a Mother, I hope you get a chance to tell her how much you appreciate her. If your Mother is no longer with you, then I hope you can feel glad that she gave you so many things-including memories that you can cherish. </div>

I LOVE the neutral oversized chevron and fish scale prints. The bright pink and orange colors remind me of summer and eating sherbet. The color of the chevron is the exact color of a wet sandy beach. With these fabrics one cannot help but create something with them! It is so tempting to add a touch of sparkle on it somewhere, perhaps the strap?<br />
<br />
I'm thinking, what kind of bag would I want to be carrying while eating ice cream on a beach in the summer? Two bags come to mind: a zippered tote and a slouchy hobo with a really short strap. Here is what I came up with for the tote:<br />

<br />
This happens A LOT. I come up with a new design and we get requests to make a smaller or larger version. Here is an example of a bag, which dimension-wise, is HUGE. I wish I had a photo of it on a person but it is great duffle bag for an overnight, a gym bag, dance bag or whatever.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjg8ghVY4JGLNnssaPGuq5uLC3cSnM3u0ZvtxyUzi58jy9OOU702kaNs_jzi_3EfKjwYuikRGv9WRs_utDYc_koluFvdRTK1CyjW77gb32rYBWqstkxlly2sSjKFTFo5IGgzbOitb2IUE/s1600/DSC_0001_4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjg8ghVY4JGLNnssaPGuq5uLC3cSnM3u0ZvtxyUzi58jy9OOU702kaNs_jzi_3EfKjwYuikRGv9WRs_utDYc_koluFvdRTK1CyjW77gb32rYBWqstkxlly2sSjKFTFo5IGgzbOitb2IUE/s1600/DSC_0001_4.jpg" height="214" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sure enough I started getting requests to make a smaller size. So, after mulling it over for months, I began working on a "purse" version. I did not want the straps to wrap around the bag like they do in the large size. I wanted the bag to be casual but not AS casual. I also wanted there to be a long adjustable strap feature and, like the original size, an outside pocket. Because, a girl loves her outside pocket! Here is the final product:</div>

Our friend Carrianne is a super talented photographer. Check out her ability to capture photos of little ones for tired parents here:<a href="http://carriannephotography.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> http://carriannephotography.blogspot.com/</a> She came in after another fruitless search for the perfect bag. The second time she has come to us saying, I just can't find the perfect bag let's see what we can design at LexiWynn! She picked our very popular mid-sized bag called the <a href="http://www.lexiwynn.com/custom-purses/megan" target="_blank">Megan (see what you can do here.)</a> It fit her size and pocket requirements (upgraded to a Leather Interior Pocket + the standard interior zipper pocket.) And with with her splash of Teal Dot fabric on the front pocket and classic Leather strap and accents, she created the bag she wanted to carry. We love it and think it is worthy to be framed! What do you think?<br />

<br />
A truly innovative idea that becomes a significant part of how we make and sell amazing and one-of-a-kind LexiWynn bags in your favorite boutiques. We need to walk before we run... But this IDEA feels like it has some legs...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlt-aVgOoMFnVuoNMHQPGNICCBks8444LjSUV1X6WRGlLGcF0FIMkTjU8UmHJiXAqPgVos_atcSMlQJJ4pjVIAKZH6YGg77Omhf079C1qx6D3PSowat_ix1NTm4OfaCZb8QRS0CjytD2M/s1600/DSC_0039.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlt-aVgOoMFnVuoNMHQPGNICCBks8444LjSUV1X6WRGlLGcF0FIMkTjU8UmHJiXAqPgVos_atcSMlQJJ4pjVIAKZH6YGg77Omhf079C1qx6D3PSowat_ix1NTm4OfaCZb8QRS0CjytD2M/s320/DSC_0039.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Speaking of legs, the activity of "running" has become a pretty big part of our lives. Our founder, Alexa, has a close group of friends who run together 3 days a week. Their mob can be seen on our local paths with headlamps in the dark winter months and AWAYS heard before seen throughout the year. The mob can swell to 7 or 8 and there is always a lot to talk about at 6 a.m. in the morning. <br />
<br />
When we were approached by a friend to offer a donation for an event hosted by a favorite local <a href="http://eclecticds.com/" target="_blank">Boutique</a> to benefit our local chapter of Girls on the Run, we had an easy time saying YES. The design fun occurred when we realized this boutique had access to remnant fabrics from their design projects and the donation bag could be quite a piece of art; a truly exclusive, one-of-kind LexiWynn bag.<br />
<br />
The result?<br />

This summer, we had the joy of employing Alli as our first paid summer Intern. Her duties started out as simple bookkeeping but grew into other duties such as: bagging and tagging, shipping, spreadsheet development, order processing, sales, customer service and even a little modeling. Being fresh out of her freshman year of college, we had low expectations. We were blown away however at how resourceful, optimistic, fasionable, and professional Ali proved herself to be. She truly set herself apart and will always have a job with us when she is home from school. Thank you Alli for your hard work! <br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here we are doing a shoot of some all-leather bags that she designed for herself and older sister. We are thrilled to have the LexiWynn logo around their campus (University of Iowa) and hope they get many compliments. We also desire that as Alli and her sister wear their custom LexiWynn bags that they created, they will inspire uniqueness, confidence and creativity! </div>

Wow! What an amazing opportunity we recently had to expand
our global presence! Dina Jackson
is our administrator in our Libertyville workroom. Her husband’s cousin, Mary Tierney, was visiting from County
Galway, Ireland. That’s right, I
said Ireland! Mary was very
excited to visit the LexiWynn workroom and design a purse of her own.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We are excited to show you the finished product! Mary chose to design a Sassy Girl -
take a look at the pictures! If
you’re ever in Ireland, maybe you’ll see Mary walking around with her LexiWynn
on her shoulder.<br />
<br />
P.S. We are also very excited about our new HTML coding for picture slideshows - no more long blog posts. Enjoy!</div>

Mary Catherine first saw a LexiWynn bag last year when Alexa’s parents
came to visit her family in Nashville. Alexa's mother was carrying a distressed leather bag that Mary Catherine was
DYING for, and she also brought a silver crocodile clutch lined with hot pink
suede as a gift for Mary Catherine's mother. Almost immediately, she contacted Alexa about designing her own diaper bag. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Over the next few months, she found myself visiting our website
and Facebook page quite frequently; checking out the latest styles and pictures
of purses from parties. Her mother
would call her at least once a week saying, “have you SEEN that little clutch on
Alexa’s website???” They were hooked
on LexiWynn, and were so excited to see what the future held for her cousin
(yep, Alexa and Mary Catherine are cousins!) and her amazing business.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She joined the LexiWynn family at the beginning of 2012. She called Seth last fall to chat with
him about the possibility of becoming a design consultant. After a few conversations, she couldn’t help but feel an overwhelming need to get involved with LexiWynn. "Not only is LexiWynn’s approach to
designing your own handbag uniquely original, but also they are<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7158273001973901907" name="_GoBack"></a>
committed to creating the highest quality product and to helping everyone
involved achieve the ultimate success," she thought. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mary Catherine would love to book a party with you and help you create a
perfect, one of a kind handbag.
Please give her a call or send her an email to hear more about the
LexiWynn story and to find out how to get your own!</div>

While picking up her son from school one day last year, she commented to a friend about how much she loved her purse. She told Molly about this great
company that actually allowed you to custom design your own handbags. This is when Molly was first introduced to
LexiWynn. She loved her friend’s
purse and asked how she too could host a party. She was so impressed with the variety of purse styles and fabrics. Immediately Molly fell in love with the
purses and the process of designing one.
After a month of torture, waiting for her bag to arrive, she was so happy
with the outcome! Between the
quality and the fabric, she was beyond happy with her bag. Five months later, she suggested that another
friend have a party. As Molly became more
familiar with LexiWynn and our products, she began realizing that she would love to
share this experience with other people. She came to the Libertyville workroom to meet Seth and learn the
production process. Molly knew
that it was the right fit for her. She fell in love with the purses first, then the design process, and eventually the entire LexiWynn family. </div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">It’s simple really. What woman
on earth doesn’t love a great purse? Better yet, who wouldn’t love the
opportunity to be their own designer? Well, LexiWynn offers this truly unique
experience to anyone that has the desire. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Tara fell in love with LexiWynn
one night while attending a party hosted by a close friend of hers. She had gone
to the party not expecting to find a product that she would become so engrossed
with, but rather to support a friend’s endeavor. When this party was over and she had received her purse, it was clear that she would soon be hosting a party of her own. She put the call in to Angie, the Design Consultant, and away they went. It
was a large party full of people, fabrics, food and fun and Tara could see by the
reactions of her friends and family that this was something that could easily
draw a crowd. After the purses arrived and she began to deliver them, it was
obvious that everyone wanted to do this again. So, another call to Angie was
made and another, even larger, party was in the works. Now, Tara lives on the east
side of Washington State and Angie lives on the west side. This party had been
planned during the winter months and the pass between them was not
going to make for an enjoyable drive for Angie. It was looking as though they might have to cancel, but LexiWynn came through and the entire design kit was
shipped to Tara so that the party could go on. In this way, she was given a very
crash course into the life of a Design Consultant. She had a few phone calls with
Seth and just like that it was in the works. The east side of the state needed
a Consultant of its own and Tara was more than willing to fill the role. Since
that day she has been planning and putting on parties to the excitement and
fulfillment of women with all kinds of fantastic design ideas of their own. This really is the best part, with the options and fabrics available, she has yet to see any two purses that are alike and she has yet to have a disappointed
customer but rather usually find that most women are anticipating their next
design. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Tara has been married to her husband for six years and they have two beautiful boys. Nolan is nearly four and
Mason is almost two. They live in the beautiful Columbia River basin in
Kennewick, WA. The Tri-Cities, as it is more commonly known, is a very fast
growing and young community, perfect for LexiWynn. They have great summer weather
and the massive Columbia River as a backdrop. You’ll often find huge crowds
down on the banks or walking through the Farmer’s Markets, any of which are
great opportunities to flaunt your one of a kind LexiWynn design. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

be a member of something so unique and satisfying. She also finds comfort knowing
that LexiWynn is MADE IN THE USA. It is a great product of incomparable
quality. She can’t wait to host your party next. Contact Tara, or a Design

"I can honestly say that I started my involvement with
LexiWynn as an addiction. I was so
excited when I walked into my first party, hosted by now design consultant and
friend Jodi Kristopher. I was in
awe at the amazing styles of bags and fabrics in front of me. I had so much fun playing with fabrics
and designing the perfect bag for me…the first of many to come! It didn’t take long before I had a
collection of bags for myself and had given many as gifts! I couldn’t get enough." </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Just about the time Carrie and her family decided to relocate to
the East Coast, Alexa and Seth were beginning to expand the LexiWynn business plan and
launch it nationally. Carrie has told us many times how excited she was about this decision! Naturally, she was inspired to bring LexiWynn to the East Coast to help Alexa and Seth grow the LexiWynn business. Carrie says that it has been so
much fun watching this fantastic business that started as a hobby in the
basement of their home to a nationally known business. She has had the opportunity to watch
Alexa work her magic with her keen eye for design and to hear Seth excitedly
discuss the business plan for LexiWynn with passion and drive. Selfishly of course, she would still have
access to these wonderful bags and the creative process and also be able to
share them with all of her new friends! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
It has been very exciting for us to work with Carrie and to see LexiWynn custom bags on the arms of
people in the North East, and it has only just begun! If you are in the Northeast and would
like to experience LexiWynn, feel free to email her at carrie@lexiwynn.com. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While out walking with an old friend, Heather learned about the company her friend was working for part-time, where you design your own
handbags. A few steps later,
without even knowing the full LexiWynn story, Heather jumped at the chance to host a
party. "The basic idea alone
sounded terrific – who doesn’t want a handbag that is made just for them to fit
their needs?" she thought.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Three weeks into
this new friendship, she was hosting a party and totally hooked. She told us that the positive energy and enthusiasm that
filled her house as all her friends created a bag exactly how they wanted it,
down to the last interior pocket was such a thrill for her. When the box of purses from the party arrived a few weeks later, she felt like Santa Claus on Christmas morning bringing that “one” gift that they
had been totally wishing for.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the past 12
years Heather has been a 3<sup>rd</sup> and 4<sup>th</sup> grade elementary school
teacher. She have always known that she was never meant to sit behind a desk without constantly transitioning from
one activity to the next, which was why teaching children was the perfect
match. Years ago, along with
teaching, she had her own little side business that allowed her to be creative and
make a product that was one of a kind.
That creative business got put to the back burner once her two children
arrived Olivia (now almost 5) and Will (2). Today, she still teaches active children all day and then comes home to enjoy her own. However, she felt like a piece of the creative side of her was missing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Again, while
walking with the same friends just a few months later she offered to host another
LexiWynn party. They pulled it off
with just 15 days notice and again the excitement, energy and creativity just
got her. This was what she was
missing – <i>being</i> creative. She shared with her husband the night
after the LexiWynn party that she was thinking about being a Design
Consultant. He saw the creative
spark that she had said she was missing.
So, she signed on with Seth and Alexa and couldn’t be more excited for
this new creative adventure. Like she said, “Who doesn’t want a handbag that is totally made just for them?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

like to experience the creative energy and excitement of LexiWynn in
Connecticut, please feel free to contact Heather at her email (heather@lexiwynn.com) or

2010 via Facebook. They enjoyed the opportunity to update each other on their lives and the amazing things that had been happening. Seth shared with Caroline the adventure that he and Alexa had embarked
on – LexiWynn. He said that there
was an interest in expanding to Nashville, but she said that she would have to
think about it. She was uncertain
about the “party” element of the business. Caroline stuck to her word and six months later got in contact with
him. One of her beloved purses had
ripped and she was in need of a replacement. She knew exactly what she wanted and that she wanted a bag made in
the United States. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Like many of our design consultants say, Caroline was amazed by Seth’s excitement about LexiWynn - it was extremely contagious. Caroline had never heard of a product party where you had the opportunity to design the product
you were purchasing. She told us that she could not
wait to start, to feel the fabrics, to see each bag. She too was confident that Nashville would be a great place to have a
custom purse company. “Made in
America” is something that everyone wants to see on the products they buy. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
