Idea for Green Hand Bag

JeanBerry — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 16:26:07 +0000

I got a idea of making hand bags using recycle water bottle Fabric. After finished ”Hand Bag Construction I,II” courses in F.I.T. with Luigi, I finally got a better picture in how hand bags are made. Luckily, I met Stanley and Harch Hong, one mentors me with business sense and the other helps me with sourcing. In the mean time, graphic designer Jay Chung designs a beautiful loge for “JeanBerry” future branding. Now, I am really have to look into who should I team up to make hand bag for me. I don’t like to out source everything to overseas. However, how to lower costs and still help creating jobs for our American citizen become a next task for me. I hope someone could give me some inputs to get it done ASAP.

The fabric will be using nature dyed. The hand bags should be light weight and functional.

Enlightenment in Atlanta

I am in Atlanta at the inspired livelihood workshop over the weekend. After workshop, Lynn and I went on a taxi tour to Margret Michell House ,Roswell and ended dining at 16th Cafe in Atlanta Station.

We were very impressed by Atlanta’s building design and its unique hospitality. We had wonderful meals at 16th Cafe in Atlanta Station and INC in Roswell.

GONE WITH THE WIND is always one of my favorite books and movies since junior high. It is very inspiring to me visiting its author Ms. Michell’s House and Museum. It reminded me how I got the courage to fight for my poor childhood and wished a promising future to myself at teen. By visiting the museum gave me a chance to reconnect with myself again.http://www.margaretmitchellhouse.com/
