Be on Your Best Behavior
BestGirlWins Handbags
The stink-eye stares and snide remarks never broke you in high school. Neither do the all-too-exclusive invites and two-faced compliments now.
When it comes to mean girls, you’re a survivor. But that doesn’t mean you don’t want to slap a sister sometimes.
Keep that smile plastered on your face and your fists tucked into a BestGirlWins purse. Seattle native Bree Nichols has your back with edgy leather designs that both inspire jealousy and suggest you’re too tough to care.
Using soft Italian calfskin, Nichols creates jagged, unfinished-looking pouches. Every design is an original. Some include her self-cast claw ornaments or hand-pressed leather feathers inspired by the occult and witches.
Resulting in looks that silence any critics or straight-up bitches.
Available at Pulp Lab, 5402 22nd Avenue Northwest (206-706-7857 or pulplab.com). To see styles, go to bestgirlwins.com.
