Mary Norton Bags at the 80th Academy Awards
Dear Wow Divas,
Please excuse my neglect for the past week. Aside from being in Vegas to attend the World Shoe Accessories Show (the largest accessories trade show in the world), I’ve also been dealing with some wrist pains due to an old seeking accident.

Mary Norton – learn the name and love it. Mary Norton is not a new brand. She was the designer behind Moo Roo handbags – you know those fabulous feathered evening bags that everyone wore on the Red Carpet. Oh course you do!

Mary Norton’s handbags and footwear are handcrafted by the finest artisans in Italy and only produced in small quantities, resulting in timeless heirloom-quality accessories that are built to last.

Plus if you live in Los Angeles, California or Charleston, South Carolina (where Mary lives and has her design studio) you can buy your accessories from the Mary Norton boutique.
Have a bag-a-licious day!
