About Amy Schwab Designs
In 2002, Amy Schwab Designs started with a couple cigar boxes and some fantastic fabric. Soon her business took on a life of its own as everyone in her small northern Californian town needed to own an authentic Amy Schwab Cigar Box purse. Word spread and next thing Amy knew she was asked to participate in the Academy Award winner’s gift bag. Imagine being asked to prepare a cigar box purse for the likes of Renee Zellweger, Charlize Theron and Catherine Zeta-Jones.

With Oscar Night only a few weeks away, Amy decided that she really should have something to go with the bags. Something that would make an impact and generate excitement. The signature Amy Schwab cloth belt was born! The belts were an overnight success and soon Amy’s belts could be found at stylish boutiques across the country.

Amy Schwab Designs has an amazing array of funky fabric belts, matching fabric headbands (coming soon) and silk sash belts available at select boutique retailers and on-line at www.amyschwabdesigns.com.
