I am going to do my final project over Texas Carpet Baggers, a handmade bag line in Austin, TX. I helped the out the owner a few Christmas’s ago when she  was just starting her bag line. When I left her things were starting to fall together and her bag line was starting to take off. The reason I want to do this page on TCB is because these bags are unique, handmade and they try to stay local with the materials they use. Another thing that is really neat about her bags is that her husband carves the oak handles and bottoms of the bags himself. These are the pages that I would include

Home

• I would have a slideshow of the bags and a brief summary of what TCB is.

About TCB

• I would interview Becky about what exactly TCB is, and about herself and what made her want to start a bag line.

• I would have a video interview also.

How Bags are Made

• Information about how the bags are made, what materials are used, why the bags are so unique, what it mean for the bags to be handmade, and talk about the quality of the bags

• I would include a video of the process of making the bags.

TCB Bags

– Damn Purse

– Miss Kitty

– Totes

– Overnight bags

• This section would have a drop down menu where you could click on the different bags that TCB makes, with photos of each bag and a description.
