I almost forgot to post this!  The fabulous Glam Network has paired up with Marie Claire to host a handbag designing contest.  Here are the deets:

Starting today aspiring designers can submit their handbag sketches on Glam.com, where the fashion community will vote for their favorites.

The lucky winner will receive a trip to New York, a one-night stay at a posh New York hotel, and the MOST EXCITING part of all she or he will be a Marie Claire “accessories editor for a day.”   Additionally, the final 8 bags will be auctioned off on E-bay.com with all the proceeds going to charity.

 

Sounds like an awesome opportunity!  And I have to say, as much as I love design I think designing handbags is by far the most challenging.  I have the utmost respect for bag designers.

Check out the contest rules here.
