Fergie’s New Hangbags Were Her Own Concepts

This article on EarthTimes.org tells how Fergie came up with the concepts of her line of Kipling handbags herself.

The 78-piece collection has three lines and no piece costs more than $200, the New York Post reported Thursday. “Nice Scout” line includes bags and satchels in earth tones. “Naughty Scout” is rock ‘n’ roll inspired prints with lots of hardware, and “Dutchess”– coincidentally the title of her Top 10 solo album — features evening and weekend bags of luxurious fabrics with leather accents.

“Since I got three collections, I wanted to hit on three different facets of my personality, of women’s personalities,” said Fergie, real name Stacy Ann Ferguson. “‘Nice Scout,’ which is a nature girl, trying to be green, that whole thing. The ‘Naughty Scout’ is a little more for the night owl. And the ‘Dutchess’ line, that’s more for the glamour girl; it’s more chic, high-end and mature.”

Ferguson told the Post she designed and helped conceptualize the styles based on things she liked, such as the utility belts she wears when she shops. As for the fabrics, she took some samples right out of her closet.
