My favorite company at the 2009 International Gift Show in New York City was, hands down, Rebecca Ray's American Couture Handbag Company which specializes in handbags, accessories and antiques. I love Rebecca's style and business for many reasons - she emblazons her beautifully crafted handbags with luxurious fabrics and depictions of horses and old American lifestyle. Her designs resemble New England in its finest, you would never know she grew up in Ohio, and resides there today! While what first drew me to Rebecca was the beautiful products she had on display, after speaking with her I realized she embodied another great love of mine: the entrepreneur. Rebecca will be hosting her very own PBS show called "LifeStyles with Rebecca" coming this October that will bring inspiration to everyone who watches it - she will be focusing on those Americans who have successfully reinvented themselves, either out of necessity because of the economy, or for very different reasons. Not only will I be keeping an eye on Rebecca's designs, I'll be sure to seek out her new show!
