The Moosehead Journey Celebrates Moop Handbags

The Moosehead Journey continues south of the border with the gang stopping in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to chat with Wendy Downs, the owner of Moop handbags.

The genesis of Moop handbags is one that can be classified as a “happy accident.” While attempting to make a dress that ended in ruins, Wendy simply flipped it inside out, sewed it up and voilà—the rest is history. Fast forward five years later and Wendy is still making quality, handmade bags. It’s a passion that is rooted in her artistic upbringing and education. After watching Wendy’s honest story and incredibly well-made totes, it’s only fitting we raise a toast to all things made well, including Moop bags.

Track the Moosehead Journey on Facebook, Twitter and get a sneak-peek at the behind-the-scenes pictures on Pinterest as the team uncovers all things made well.
