Supermodel Patti Hansen and her pal and manager Molly Madden longed for the practical bags they used to carry at Studio 54. They approached DKP Designs’ Debi Koppel and Hung on U was born. The label makes cute and functional purses which benefit charity.
We love the relaxed retro style of these bags, which feature high quality materials and no frills. Each one hugs at the waist and is completely hands free, leaving you to get on with more important things. But don’t think they’re all the same; with purses made from nylon, suede, leather, snake print, and denim I’m sure there’s one to tickle your fancy.
If you were wavering it’s worth considering that a portion of the profits from the sales of Hung on U benefit the Epidermolysis Bullosa Medical Research Foundation. The non-profit organization researches children’s Epidermolysis Bullosa, a group of diseases characterized by blisters forming after minor skin trauma. It’s not a disease that often makes the headlines, so it’s great to see the Hung on U gals doing their bit to find a cure.
The Hung on U bags are available online through the Hung on U website.
