Myrtle Beach, SC, Oct. 18, 2005 – What do you get when you mix a dash of Southern flare with a pinch of college football? A recipe for purse success, according to the all-women team behind Albini-DuFrénne, a local company that’s making its mark on the fashion world with one-of-a-kind college athletic-themed bags that are high-end and in high demand.
Started in 2004 by a group of cutting-edge businesswomen who just happen to be Southern fashionistas and avid college football fans, their goal was to meet their own needs with quality specialty bags that boasted their strong team spirit. Soon, friends and family took note of these functional bags with flare and a fashion trend took off.
Today, the bags maintain the unique “straight from the runway look,” that caused their popularity to soar, with each bag crafted of high-quality leather, including an array of compartment choices and the exclusive Albini-DuFrénne crest. What’s more, each is associated with a scholarship fund or charity, providing a one-of-a-kind opportunity for woman to carry bags that are sure to be the envy of onlookers, while giving back to the community.
It’s a winning combination of football, fashion and philanthropy. The high scorers here: Albini-DuFrénne bag owners, their favorite college team and their favorite charity.
Just ask Barbara Humphries, whose son plays on the Clemson University football team. "My Clemson bag arrived in the mail today and I just love it! It is absolutely gorgeous,” she says.
And while Clemson University fans and University of South Carolina fans rarely agree on anything, they certainly share a fondness for the Albini-DuFrénne bags. “I just received my purse and am so excited! What a classy way for me to show my USC support,” Sonya Douglas says. Fellow Gamecock fan Kimberly Thomas Shealy echoes Douglas’ praise. "What a unique design, and such quality. I am proudly showing it off.”
