Testimonials

"Thank you so much for designing such cool stuff. I'm pretty hard on my bags, so to have a sexy
and highly functional and durable purse is a new experience.  I've seen cheap imitations here in
the bay area, but the quality isn't there.  Thanks again" Sonia,San Francisco

"Love your bags!  I have enjoyed the "bucket" model for about six months and now plan to order
the "Flapper" model.  Countless women have asked me for your website.  Thank you for the
attractive designs and functionality of your bags."  Zelma, Washington DC

"I have had a unbelievable number of people stop and ask me where I got my bag, and I've been
giving them your web site address left and right...So far, I haven't met anyone else who has one,
and I'm enjoying the unfamiliar role of a fashion trend setter!"--Luann New Hampshire

couple of weeks ago...My boyfriend even likes my new bag and isn't embarrassed to hold
it...several friends, colleagues, even strangers ask me where I got it...east coast gals love it too!
I've bookmarked your website as a favorite and will keep you in mind for gift ideas...You have
another happy and very satisfied customer. Finally a functional bag that even looks
"kewl!"--Elizabeth-North Carolina

"I own at least 5 Hardwear by Renee purses and no matter which one I'm carrying, I get
compliments on them. They're hip and so versatile that I can take them shopping at the grocery
store or to an upscale restaurant. Renee Hickman is creative and innovative and introduces
fresh concepts into her purses that keeps me coming back for more year after year."--Kelly

"I received my first handbag in 2004 and my collection has increased over the years. I just
wanted to take a moment and tell you how much I adore them. I love the uniqueness and quality
you put in each one. I receive so many compliments that I pass along your website so others can
share in my excitement. I proudly take them where ever I go. On vacations I take along one for
each outfit because they condense so well and are easy to pack. I can say that I am very proud
to carry your handbags and admit I love the attention it brings also."--Marita- Oregon

coworkers and friends have got wild over it.  I've been torn about giving out your website address

businesses...so here's to hoping you get more orders from Ohio and Michigan!"--Amanda-
