Whenever I see one friend she laughs when I have one of my Dooney & Bourke purses she tells me they stand for Dumb & Broke,
my husband would never let me buy a knock off because if it is illegal I'd be at the party that would get busted... He figues it's easier to write the check than bail me outta jail!

I have a friend who is a biz by herself.
She has developed a private, home party system based on her prior hosting of systems like Pampered Chef, Gold Canyon, At Home America,etc.
She has a huge following in our local area and most folks "in the know" have a Purse by Jaimie! '' I have 2 of her purses and LOVE THEM. Some main selling points, other than the qualtiy which is great...is being able to select the fabric(s), purse style and handle type.
This is a really nice option if you have a special hobby/love (such as cats, green bay packers, etc) that is normally difficult to find a wonderful design for.
She has a web site, a blog and more so if anyone is interested, email me privately. She does local shows but a lot of her biz is from folks who see herstuff online, and work with her to design a bag and then have it shippped.
