"Are those pictures of your kids?" the lady in line behind me asked, pointing to the handbag slung over my shoulder.
"They are," I answered with a smile.
She continued, "Where did you get that? It's so cute!"
from Julie: Here I am with my brand new Grand Bucket Bag that I received as a gift from Heritage Makers at Reunion 2012! I had SO much fun designing this, and have had so much fun since then showing it off! I always get lots of comments, not just on the design of my bag, but on all of the beautiful pictures of my family :)
This wasn't the first time (and won't be the last) a stranger has commented on and inquired about my bag. It's definitely a conversation starter—and I certainly don't mind! I'm proud of my custom handbag because it's uniquely mine, designed by me! I call it my "brag bag" because it's got a cute picture of my kids I can show off wherever I go. It's my Heritage Makers Bucket Bag, and I love it!
"Just what are Bucket Bags?" you ask.
Bucket Bags are designer-inspired photo handbags that let you combine your love of style with the loves of your lives! They let you show off your individuality—and carry stuff too!

Bucket Bags include metal feet, a top zipper, 3/4-inch wide straps, an interior zipper pocket, a cell phone pocket and attached key fob. They are constructed of durable fabric and come with black microfiber trim or can be upgraded to leather trim. You can keep one side black for all occasions, or extend your customization from seam to seam with the two-sided design option.
