m Bretts is launching now, as our first bags just arrived. We are so excited about introducing the bags to the world because they fill a void. So many bags have big pockets that end up turning into a jumbled mess. Our 2 sized totes have internal sections that help keep items organized, without 100 pockets. I started thinking of the design when traveling with my young children and was never able to find anything quickly enough. I initially just wanted to make one for myself which I did, then I took it a step further and offered these bags to other women like myself.

I started m Bretts because I wanted a bag just like this for myself, and then decided to offer it to all women. We have patent pending sections that will keep women organized. I wanted to make sure the bag was stylish and simple.. Simplicity is a bonus when you have little kids. I also made sure these bags could be taken from work to activities with kids. I was not going for a diaper bag look. 

Luckily, there isn't a nightmare story yet, but we are just getting started.  At this point, my greatest achievement is having 3 kids 3 years and under and actually getting this line started! I have other ideas in the works, once this one takes off so I am really looking forward to making those happen as well.
