We couldn't be more excited to tell you about the latest addition to the Serendipity Cards & Gifts product line. For almost two years we searched high and low and looked under every rock while trying to decide on a handbag line to bring in. We analyzed and re-analyzed and decided and undecided. Finally (drum roll please) we are proud to announce Serendipity Cards & Gifts now carries the Jenna Kator Collection!
So many factors go into choosing which handbag is the best fit for our store and we considered every one of them. Things such as selection, supply issues, materials, environmental consciousness, value and, of course, price were all considered. Finally when all those things are analyzed you still have one thing left, the intangible, which is what bag really fits our store. It's more of a feeling than something that's measurable.
That's why when we had the opportunity to bring in the Jenna Kator Collection we didn't hesitate. It's a great fit for our store and we love everything about it. Starting with the fact that the designer, Jenna Kator, grew up in Troy, Michigan. Being a husband-and-wife business owner team born and raised in Adrian, Michigan we felt a connection there. Especially given we both started our entrepreneural adventure in 2008, in spite of, the current economic situation.
Upon graduating from Michigan State University Jenna Kator used her degree in advertising to work as an automotive media planner. However, her admiration for designer inspired handbags and the desire of becoming a business owner led her to start the Jenna Kator Collection. Kind of like her own personal serendipity experience.
Jenna Kator believes that by designing her own handbags and accessories that she would not only be able to reflect her love for fashion but be able to restore some light back into the Detroit area, it's suburbs and the State of Michigan. One way she does this is by naming her designer handbags and accessories after places in Michigan that reflect great beauty, character and charm. You can see an example of these names and beautiful handbags by going to our Facebook page.
Another thing that drew us to the Jenna Kator Collection was the fact that her products are so well thought out. Her handbags and accessories are classic, yet trendy, all the while being sophisticated. It's the perfect blend of New York City fashion and West Coast style. And part of this look and feel comes from the fact that she uses an animal friendly vegetarian leather. Her products look, feel and smell like leather and are made with no animal by-products. The stitching is very high quality and the lining consists of a very durable fabric patterned with her signature flower logo. In addition, all handbags and wallets come with a cotton-blend dust cover, also patterned with her signature flower logo.
Not only is Jenna Kator an amazing designer but she is equally as great a person and business leader. She is a very sincere and genuine person, which is not always a given these days. She works very hard at what she does and it shows through her product. She is involved in every detail of her line including the design, the material selection, meeting with manufacturers, marketing and sales and probably a lot more than we will ever know about.
In addition to all the work she puts into the Jenna Kator Collection she also has a philanthropic heart. One of the causes that she is involved in is Handbags of Hope. Handbags of Hope is a charitable organization that believes a woman's handbag is a very important personal possession. Their concept is simple, they take donated gently used handbags and fill them with ten items (think sample perfumes and manicure sets). The bags are then distributed twice a year, on Mother's Day and Christmas, to women of domestic violence.
As you can see, we couldn't be happier or more proud to offer the Jenna Kator Collection. We have brought in twelve styles of handbags and wallets with our initial offering. You can view the items we brought in by going to our Facebook page. Prices start at $29.95 for the wallets and $61.95 for the handbags. We can't wait to expand the selection very soon and are elated to begin a long relationship with Jenna Kator and the Jenna Kator Collection.
