Aimee Kestenberg.
If you haven't heard of her, you will.
The 27 year old handbag designer, who was definitely one of the sweetest people I've ever met, is making waves on the handbag scene + won a coveted spot on the Forbes Top 30 under 30 in the art + style category this past year. {here}
Did I mention she's 27?
When I was 27, I might have been considering paying for my own car. Maybe.

The Shopping Channel invited a few local bloggers out to experience Aimee in action promoting the "Today's Showstopper" {which may or may not have been our takeaway + featured in this post} live on air.
We learned firsthand what goes into designing a collection and what's important to her when it comes to handbags; namely fun details, room for lots of stuff + zippers that stand the test of time.
Amen.
Here are a few of my other favourites from the collection.
