Another thing that Brigette is extremely famous for is her line of chic handbags. In 2005, she thought of making homemade gifts to surprise her friends with during Christmas. That little notion led her to design high end handbags which would rock the fashion world and be seen on the arms of several Hollywood celebrities. She spent her time evaluating crocodile skins and creating handbags with unique designs. From her initial project, her designer handbag business kicked off and introduced high profile quality bags like the Rockstar clutches which are notorious for their classy and edgy look.
