I have the coolest friends - Fierce Handbags (and giveaway)


I've known the awesome couple behind these new bags for years and this is a new venture for them, so I am super excited to introduce you to Fierce Handbags... the brain-child of my pals, Chris and Niki.
We have many impromptu Saturday morning breakfasts with their family and recently they started picking my brain about a new line of purses Chris was making made of duct tape. Not ones to make anything that's already out there, Chris has designed his own styles and he handmakes these bags the way a man's man would... with baling wire and grommets to keep the bag's shape - "fierce" colors that suit Niki's wild colorful style and great details to boot. Niki kept getting - in their words - "stalked" for her bag, so to keep his lovely wife safe (yuk yuk) he opened his etsy shop!

When I ordered mine, of course it HAD to be in red and white... I mean, their whole deal is that you get to pick from a bunch of colors and pretty much style it as you like... so I requested "mostly red" with touches of white that could pass for squarish polka dots (teehee). The extra white stripe on the flap was his idea, I'm glad it's there - it made for a nice balance.

Can I tell you I have gotten STOPPED for this purse. Everyone wants to know where I got it, what is it made of, how can they get one??? So I've been pressuring Chris to get that etsy site  up and running as soon as possible and now it is and you too can order and wear your very own Fierce Handbag.  You know you think it's cute and you how much are you wanting to design one for yourself, too?

Oh, and in case you are wondering, mine was the biggest size handbag. I'm kind of a big bag girl these days. Niki - who is also a mom of two carries the smaller handbag as her purse. So head on over to their site. The bags are super well made (s-t-r-o-n-g) and you'll be supporting an awesome family... tell them I sent you and when they pass on that info to me... I'll send you a free gift from me to say thanks for supporting my pals!

To win a clutch of your color choice, post a comment here saying which bag is your favorite, which colors you'd choose and how you'd design it... One lucky person will get a clutch... my treat.

Oh, cool! I think I like the clutch best. I'd love to get it in purple, green, blue and reflective silver. It would be like carrying a little bit of ocean. How heavy is your big bag? Sturdy is good, but I don't like a bag that weighs a lot before I put anything it it.

yeah - they are totally lightweight in spite of being sturdy... my large bag weighs just over 1lb and 1oz. Not bad at all!

At first I thought orange and white. And then!! I thought orange and pink. Similar to yours where orange replaces red and pink replaces white. It'd be like a rocky mountain sunset. It'd be so cheery. How could one have a bad day carrying such colorfulness with them?

I love Love LOVE the camo purse!! If I am chosen as the lucky winner, that is the color I would choose...CAMO! I am such a camo gal at heart and I go coco puff kookoo for anything in that fabulous pattern!

They should think of making diaper bags... I would love one of those in black and white. Maybe the type you have is big enough for that purpose. A clutch would be fun too.... Black and white checkers : )

Oh, bestill my heart. These are RAD. For me, too, bigger is always better. And if it were mostly brown with hints of red and silver... Well, that would be perfection. :)

This is a great idea! I love it! Stylish, durable and you can create what you always wanted but can never find out there? I would have to say if I were to win the clutch it would be all about date night and time without the kids - for that I see silver with pink, touch of black or lime green? It would brighten up any outifit, ya think?

Definitely Camo Tape with Black accents! I've recently taken up geocaching and camo duct tape is an essential tool of the trade! Any size. I'm a big bag girl, but love a cool little clutch for the right occasion.
