Therapeutic Fashion Accessories

The Emotional Baggage Series Helps You Laugh it Off

— July 17, 2011 — Fashion
Bags are status statement for girls, but in the Emotional Baggage series, the statements become therapeutic. Very smart indeed -- and pretty. Jessica Cushman created the Emotional Baggage series using canvas, ropes, leather and bold statements to express your inner confusion and brouhaha by displaying them on your fashion apparel. Talk about some serious shopping therapy skills.

Jessica Cushman ventured to wearable messages through a series of ivory 'phrase bracelets' before she came up with the emotional baggage totes. She introduced the more accessible handbag and accessory products to satisfy her growing fanbase craving for more and more announcements. Her label includes high-end (and very talkative) ivory bracelets, ivory cuffs and snakeskin clutches as well as totes, pouches and PDA holders -- everything your heart desires to express.

The Emotional Baggage series is a very stylish manifesto of what goes on in a female's mind.
