Art to Wear
"I saw your bags on Fox News Chicago and did a Google search to locate your Etsy store. The
timing was perfect to find out about your bags. The Golden Rose is a perfect match for my
daughter's shoes for prom." - C G from Chicago, Illinois
"I adore this beautiful little purse! Thank you ." - P from
London, UK
"Beautiful! Thanks so much. It's going to be my wedding purse (something my fiance thought I
had made up as an excuse to buy a purse...)." - K from Maryland
"A really fabulous bag! I will enjoy wearing this. Thanks very much."

This handbag, along with eleven other originals, celebrated a William Ivey Long exhibition at the
Louise Wells Cameron Art Museum, Wilmington, NC. Mr. Long has been the recipient of four
Tony awards for his work on Broadway.
This handbag, along with eighteen other originals, will be at the museum shop of the
Chapman Cultural Center in Spartanburg, SC, beginning September 2007.
"One thing is for sure, each unique, original handbag has its own sparkling personality. " -
CHIC Magazine, Greenville, South Carolina
Other Sisters design and create Bravura Handbags. The sale of these handbags help support
their sisters and brothers at the Bethlehem Center, a Spartanburg SC mission and 77-year-old
nonprofit, that works to strengthen families physically, emotionally, spiritually, socially,
educationally and intellectually. The agency provides day care, after-school programs, senior
adult programming, meeting space for the project's support groups, weekly Bible studies, two
thrift stores, and an emergency food pantry.
" I love to get dressed up whenever I get a chance, and these bags are great accessories.
Organic and botanical themes are big with me, and these bags are the best! Thank you." -
F from Connecticut
"Thanks so much for the fabulous purse. We took it with us to be on TV16-WGGS. We taped
a segment about ovarian cancer and the upcoming auction several months back. We were
invited today to tape a segment and to show-off some of the purses... A Beautiful Purse!" - B
and L from SC Ovarian Cancer Society
"I just wanted to let you know that I received the bracelet, and it is going to be a stocking
stuffer for me. I also collect vintage patterns; I love the graphics. They also remind me of my
mom who sewed a lot of clothes for herself and my sister and me. I know I am going to wear
the bracelet often." - M from Maine
"Maybe you've heard the phrase, 'Think globally, act locally.' Why not apply the same concept to
your gift giving this Christmas?...This year, why not give loved ones something more common to
Spartanburg - either locally handmade or with a local twist. Big sellers at the Culture Shop are
handbags created by Jenifer Steller of Spartanburg. Steller calls them Bravura Handbags. Bravura
means spirited, florid, and brilliant. It also is a display of daring. Steller has made bags and sold
them to benefit the Bethlehem Center. Steller makes the bags from bras, silk flowers, costume
jewelry and other items." - Kim Kimzey, "Bestow the Best the Upstate Has to Offer," Spartanburg

adorable." - L from Landrum, SC
"The handbags I purchased are so beautiful and unique! I purchased them for gifts and am truly
disappointed that I have to give them away...I will just have to buy one more for me, the problem is

much for offering something so unique!!" - M from Maryland
