Welcome to my Blog!

Here's a little bit about Savvy Chic Bags...

Well, Savvy Chic Bags is owned by me and my friend (her name is Denise too) and I guess you could call us the Pittsburgh "bag ladies." Our store is located at 5880 Ellsworth Ave. (Shadyside) in Pittsburgh. We carry really unique and trendy purses and fashion accessories, and we are the complete opposite of the traditional Shadyside store--we carry only affordable fashion accessories. Our bags are usually priced anywhere from $29.99-$89.00, and our customers always tell us that they love our styles because they are unique--and everyone really loves our prices. When Denise and I shop for inventory we always look for the trendiest and most current styles, and we keep them at the lowest possible prices to keep them affordable for every budget.

We carry all kinds of accessories--hats, scarves, wraps, and jewelry, but our main focus is our large selection of handbags.

As far as our jewelry, we have two jewelry designers, Peggy Strimel and Rochelle Johnson, who create most of our jewelry. Peggy does lots of work with Swarovski crystal and all sorts of fashion jewelry, and Rochelle does lots of beautiful ethnic jewelry. So if you don't see anything you like or you have something special in mind, Peggy or Rochelle can design something special and unique just for you.

We really like different and creative things and we want to bring that to the boutique, so right now we are working on bringing some very creative local artists and fashion people in to the store for trunk shows and exhibits etc.

Oh, and one more thing. We do purse parties--but we do them in our boutique where your guests have access to all of our inventory, and our party hostesses receive 10% of the parties net sales in free merchandise. Our store is spacious so there's plenty of room for lots of guests and our purse parties are always a fun "girls day out!"

I'm going to work really hard at keeping this blog updated on a daily basis, so keep checking back for more information and to find out about new items and events. And don't forget to take a look at our website http://www.scbags.com/. We're glad we have a website, but we really hate our merchandise pictures. It doesn't matter how nice the pictures are, they NEVER look as good as the real thing. So that means you really need to stop in to see them in person to touch them, try them on...all you purse girls out there know what I mean ...

Stop back in a day or so for pics of our newest spring bags--and just in time to start shopping for Mother's Day. Because you know Mom's a "purse girl" too!

Talk to you later!
