CMU Student’s Handbag Idea
Emily Turbiak’s “Hands on Handbags” might someday put women hoping to choose the perfect purse or handbag at ease. The Livonia sophomore received a $500 cash prize in the Labelle Entrepreneurial Center’s “Make a Pitch” competition Thursday in Grawn 100 for her web page-based custom handbag business idea.
“The average person changes (handbags) three times a year, I change it maybe like once a week…if not more,” she said. “I think designing them specifically to what I want would be amazing.”
Turbiak’s idea outlined all the possibilities of building a customer’s ideal handbag. From more than 1,000 different fabric options, details could be specified right down to the length of a bag’s handle.
“I looked on different web pages to see if this had been done before, and it really wasn’t,” she said. “It wasn’t as elaborate as I had planned out.”
