Interview: NSA Convention – Dressed Up Cat Bags

Continuing my investigation of the NSA Vendor fair I talked with Tracy Penwell who sells handbags under the name Dressed Up Cat. Her one-of-a-kind bags are created from "found" bags & objects. The bags are all made from recycled components, Penwell says, and in 2008, she was a finalist for "Best Green Handbag" in the Independent Handbag Designers Awards. She was also a 2008 nominee for the People’s Choice Design Award from the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum. To hear what she had to tell me about her bags, and why professional speakers are a good market for her, click on the podcast icon below.
