Maggie Dunn is part television commercial producer/part handbag fashionista. This fashionista is a world traveler, who in 2007 found herself arriving at a beautiful place (location is TOP SECRET) in the mountains of Central America where she discovered the now famous “Chi Chi Bag.” Upon her return to the States, so many women stopped her on the street asking about the handmade bag that she started importing them. Each one is unique. Available in a variety of colors, the overall patterns are all somewhat different. They’re satin-lined and include both a leather shoulder strap and handles. These attractive carry-alls are superb for weekend travel, as well as computers, exercise, baby – anything!! Find the Chi Chi Bag on Maggie’s website www.chichibags.com and Adrianna Shamaris in Malibu, or ask her about doing a purse party!! The Chi Chi Bag is as unique and multicultural as Spanish-speaking, water-lovin’, Koala Bear-hugging Maggie Dunn herself!
