Help Us Name the New Bag Organiser

Can you help?



We have had our thinking caps on trying to come up with a name for our brand new “turn any bag into a nappy bag” organiser with no luck!  So we thought we'd ask for some help.

Our new 'turn any bag into a nappy bag' organisers will be launched at the very first Junior Upmarket on Sunday 15th November but we don't have a name for this great new product. 

But what’s a good name for it?


Here is your chance to give us your suggestions and if we choose your idea, you'll be rewarded with a $50 gift certificate to use at http://www.bragbags.com.au/.

We are looking for something simple but clever that encapsulates the idea that parents can use it in any bag to organise their child’s belongings whether they are nappy changing items, lotions, bottles, colouring pens, toys or drinks and snacks!


So get your thinking caps on. You can submit as many names as you would like.


Don’t forget to include your email address along with your submissions so we can contact you.

Contest ends November 30,2009.

To enter the contest & submit your product name, simply click on "COMMENTS" at the end of this blog.

Today we help fundraise for Leukemia. We were a sponsor of the UWA Club Lunch for Leukemia. Proceeds of sales went towards the Leukemia Foundation. I was able to hear Miss Universe Australia 2007, Kimberley Busteed talk about her role as Foundation Ambassador. So many of us have had our lives touched by Leukemia, and so it was such an honour to be able to participate today.

Dress Like A Star book winner

Congrats to Jo of Kallaroo who won the autographed copy of Dress Like A Star. Jo was correct when she answered Teal, Charcoal, navy, aubergine as great colours to wear a mustard bag with.

Handbag Design Workshop At MLC

Today I ran 2 rather rushed handbag design workshops at local girl's school MLC. The culmination of the workshops is a design contest, and the girls have a couple of weeks to complete their sketches and hand them in. I'm looking forward to seeing what their creative minds are cooking up. Always a treat!

This is the 3rd year we've done this workshop, and this year we are doing a BeachBag Design. Very practical for our long Summer days on the Perth beaches.

We'll post the winner and details in this blog in a few months. Stay tuned!

Comments from our Customers

Hi Jenny

The range of handbags you had on display were striking and eye catching. As I browsed through your fabulous winter range I was spoiled for choice. The stylish designs and colours represent fun, style, luxury and value for money. I stood for a few moments pondering my selection, undecided, I purchased two beautiful “bragbags” which I am sure will receive many comments from friends.

Good luck with your venture and no doubt I will be visiting your website quite soon to purchase another wonderful “bragbag”.

Best wishes from Linda Glassford Bicton WA

Gift Voucher Winner

Congratulations to Susan Moss who won the $100 Gift Voucher from Perth Upmarket. Happy Spending!

How you carry your handbag reveals your personality!

If you hold a handbag by the handle (hand is lowered) - you are moderate in every respect, decent and punctual.

A hand passed through a handle (an elbow is pressed to waist), this means, you like order and can keep house, are proud of yourself and very much afraid to fall in other people’s estimation.

If the hand, which a handbag is thrown on, is lifted upwards, to a shoulder - you are courageous and vigorous, do not avoid problems, are sociable, however, are too afraid of loneliness.

If you hold your bag by the corner, you might tend to leave it anywhere. It is peculiar to exclusively self-confident natured women.

Bag through a shoulder (hand is not free) - you are constraining and underconfident. And if your hand dangles every which way, you are cheerful, like company and compliments.

Bag under arm – you make an impression of a closed person, however it is quite possible that you are simply independent and serious.

Winter Awaits

Its not far off now, when we'll see the fruits of our hard designing work over these past few months. Yes, our Winter range is almost ready.

We've had a revisit to some popular themes of past, one being the perennial favourite, the "Too Many Shoes" bag. This time we've put together a "Too Many Boots" theme with a brand new messenger style that is covered with child-proof cover to keep those sticky fingermarks at bag. It has a matching uber-cool overnight bag. I'm thinking I'm going to use my for the gym (which unfortunately means it hasn't been out much lately!).

Anyway, we are constantly asked about our handbag organizers. We sold out in December, and they are available at the end of this month. Hurray! This time we've upped the ante and made them for luxe microsuede. Nothing like being organized and glamorous at the same time!

Stay tuned for more soon!
