Just a Scribble

Scribble Couture Tote

Bragging about your kid may come naturally, but showing her off when you’re alone isn’t easy.

Cute as she is, no one wants to wait while you tear through your hold-everything handbag. Even to see her photo key chain or folded-up “I love Mommy” drawing.

Don’t tell the little one, but sometimes it’s what’s on the outside that counts. Which is why you need Scribble Couture, a company that customizes bags with designs by your descendants.

Just let your little one make a masterpiece, scan it, and send in the image. The flaunt-it-now folks will then transfer the picture to a purse. So whether you opt for a canvas shoulder bag, leather tote, or silk clutch, you’ll always have easily accessible boasting material. And, yes, every style sports pockets to store that isn’t-he-handsome pic.

Friends may carry more expensive arm accessories, but you’ll always feel fortunate to have yours.

Call it the luck of the draw.
