Lets get packin!

Traveling these days may seem a bit costly, but with warmer weather on the heels of this winter’s snow, we are all feeling a little cabin-fevered.

So who says you can’t enjoy this summer with a “stay-cation” instead? And for those trips to amusement parks, museums, beaches, and unique places in your backyard, we are giving you the best travel partner: a HipPurse!

Amusement parks are a place filled with hustle and bustle, and the last thing any woman needs is for her purse to be knocked around. Who knows what’s inside that purse that might explode, break, or ooze. So instead of carrying a bag that will hurt your shoulder all day long, clip on a HipPurse and you’ll be pain and clutter free the entire day. Plus, with a HipPurse there is no need to store away your belongings since they are clipped right on your hip and they won’t be stolen or left behind!

The versatility of a HipPurse is endless. Take it with you wherever you go and you’ll notice a difference.

But if you are lucky enough to be leavin’ on a jet plane, don’t forget that HipPurses are just as convenient for places like airports, hotel stays, and far away lands as well. Getting through security will be much easier, and you can keep things like your identification and personals quick-at-hand. Plus, a HipPurse is small enough that there is no need for a bulky carry-on!

But if you don’t believe us, believe the locations that sell our products! They think we’re awesome for hotels and casinos!

We’re going to Las Vegas! March 15-18 we will be at the ASD/AMD Las Vegas Gift Show! If you happen to be in Sin City, check us out at booth #2432 at the Sands Expo. Center… http://www.asdamd.com/asdamd/shows/2308/index.jsp

We will also be available soon in Atlantic City! The Trump Plaza Hotel & Casino is now another place to buy and use the HipPurse!

But just remember, when you buy online at http://www.hippurse.com/ you can use our 15% off code: ALHP67

Lets get movin!

Even though the snow is dumping down on the east coast, springtime will be here before we know it. And what better way to spend those breezy days than outside enjoying the sunshine and warmth. Whether you're running around chasing the kids, running after the cabin-fevered dog, or just running, be sure to take a HipPurse along.

All you mothers out there know that kids of any age always need something from your suitcase of a purse; gum, band-aids, money, you name it. Mary Poppins would be proud of all that you can shoulder - umbrella included. But when you are outside enjoying the sight of your little monsters running off the day's energy, you don't want to be lugging around your duffle with the unneeded checkbook, coupons, and melted candies stuck to the bottom. Your lightweight solution is here! HipPurses allow you to carry along your essentials to the park or playground. So give your shoulders a break, strap on a HipPurse! You can bring your cell phone and keys with you, hands free! So use two hands on the digital camera this time and you won't miss those memorable moments.

So maybe the threat of April showers busted the idea of the park, but Fiddo still needs to be walked, rain or shine. And if your husband or boyfriend just won't budge from the couch - Honey, it's the big game! - then it looks like you are the pup's last hope at making it to the fire hydrant in time. So out you go, leash, scooper, baggies, umbrella, and keys in hand. But with the dog pulling you along and fumbling with all of that in your hands, that's an accident waiting to happen. So to make sure Fiddo doesn't run off after the Jeep coming down the road, free up your hands and put those keys and plastic baggies into a HipPurse. Clip the purse on your yoga pants and now you can show Fiddo who's boss... or at least try. And since you had a place for those keys, you won't be locked out in the rain when your selective-hearing man is too glued to the tv to hear you ring the doorbell.

But before you know it, the showers have passed and the sun is heating up for summer. And the warmer weather (so annoyingly) reminds us all that swim-suit season is just around the corner. The mental picture of stuffing that Thanksgiving turkey and holiday pie that settled around your hips into a two-piece - not so pretty. So we all lace up those crosstrainers and charge our iPods before dragging our modestly heavier selves outdoors to jog those pounds off around the neighborhood (lets just hope there are no Desperate Housewife-look-a-like gardeners in our neighbors yard!) And since your last iPod shattered when you dropped it on the sidewalk and the one before that landed in a puddle, you decided that this one needs a case that will keep it secure. Well take my advice, using a HipPurse is the best! I have three words for those armbands everyone raves about: Blood Pressure Cuff. No thanks. And not to mention the tan lines with wearing it for a couple miles every day! A HipPurse is the best no-fuss way to carry your stuff, hands-free.

And not only does a HipPurse make your life easier, it also lets you keep a few bucks that you can put towards that itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny, yellow polkadot bikini. Go to www.hippurse.com and use the code ALHP67 for 15% off your purchase!

This Purse is TOTALLY YOU!!

Our world is running at warp speeds these days, and we are always searching for ways to make keeping up just a bit easier.

So we have our iPhone that does it all and our cars equipped with GPS and On Star and even a DVD for the kids. Our laptops keep us up to speed on everything and we even have Nike sneakers that multitask; they are sneakers as well as an accessory to our iPod.

So for everything we do, ladies, is it a shock that we can’t keep track of the most necessary of things, like our keys? We’ve already given you a solution to that problem – the HipPurse. And now the next multifunctional HipPurse you buy is just as multifaceted as your life.

So here is a quick reminder: multiple styles, three ways to wear ‘em. Fold the flap over your jeans, use the strap around your waist, or sling it across your body.

We can make your purse one-of-a-kind. We screen print, embroider, emboss, and deboss anything you want. Got a company logo? Or a product stamp you want to sell? Put 'em on a purse! There is no end to the possibilities. Anything you think of, we will try and make a HipPurse to match.

There is no excuse! This purse can reflect your personal style no matter how formal, funky, or fashionable it is!

We give back... and now we have a gift for you!

President Barack Obama has said, “Today we begin in earnest the work of making sure that the world we leave our children is just a little bit better than the one we inhabit today.”

We all know that the condition our economy and our world are in, are not, by any means, acceptable. Change is what we all hope for, and are all striving to evoke. Even a little thing to help our country, our people, our world, will make a difference.

Our company, HipPurse LLC, has become a part of that change. And our loyal customers can make a difference too. Whenever an order is shipped from us, there are three trees planted through Trees for the Future.

Trees for the Future has been helping our planet since 1989. An organization out of Silver Spring, Maryland, they are an, “agroforestry resource center helping people in developing countries improve their rural livelihoods through the introduction of environmentally sustainable land management projects focused on beneficial tree planting” (http://www.treesftf.org/).

The volunteers for Trees for the Future have traveled to countries in Africa, Asia, and Central America, to educate and help restore devastated areas. They plant trees and also educate the people, giving underprivileged areas the knowledge and power to thrive.

HipPurse is proud to be a ‘Plant-a-Tree’ partner with Trees for the Future. Other partners include companies like: L’Oreal, Whole Foods Market, and 41pounds.org.

Operation Smile


Our company is also involved with Operation Smile; an organization founded in 1982, devoted to treating children and young adults with cleft palates, lips, and other facial deformities.

The charity, based in Virginia, has helped millions worldwide, by training medical professionals and giving patients the health they deserve, free of charge. Operation Smile has been all over the world and is currently present in 51 countries, including: Mexico, Thailand, Peru, China, and Egypt.

Operation Smile has touched the lives of many, and has become a cause close to the hearts of many. As a company that is family-owned, we have become a part of Operation Smile because it is close to the hearts of many, including our mother. “She knew it only took around $250 to complete a surgery and she wanted to be a part of that mission,” said Vice President, Kenya D’Agustino.

Celebrity Ambassadors that have become spokespeople for the charity include: singer, Jessica Simpson; actress Roselyn Sanchez and her husband, Eric Winter; and O.A.R musician, Benj Gershman.

Ambassador corporations have donated millions of dollars for the cause. Because of its success, Operation Smile won the 2008 Non-profit Organization of the Year Award, from the DMA (Direct Marketing Association) Non-profit Federation of New York. To learn more, and to make a donation, visit http://www.operationsmile.org/.

The Children’s Home

HipPurse LLC not only supports national charities and organizations, but we give back to our local communities as well. Through a school donation, Designer, Ladene Paulino, found a local safe-haven. The Children’s Home, located in Cromwell, Connecticut, is a Christian treatment centre and special education school. D’Agustino explained, “When we were deciding on charities, [Ladene] knew it could help them on a much bigger scale.”

The Home provides a safe and nurturing environment for children and families with special needs, ranging from family therapy programs, to residential and out-patient treatments.
They even have a therapeutic community program which includes an outdoor rope course and bonding and problem-solving activities. Groups, like church groups and companies, can work on team and self-esteem building exercises through the program.

The Children’s Home offers volunteer programs and is always in need. Supplies for the children, tutors, or members to help with their Buddy Program are always welcome. For information on how to help The Children’s Home, visit http://www.childhome.org/.

The Women’s Center & Shelter of Greater Pittsburgh

As a company of women who are devoted to supporting others and better the world, we also support The Women’s Center & Shelter of Greater Pittsburgh; one of the first six shelters for women who are victims of abuse.

This year will be their 35th year in operation, but despite all the help they have done over the course of those years, The Center still needs the help of others. Last year, they had to turn away 360 women and children.

Donations and cell phones are collected to help the shelter and the women they support. United Way is also a contributor for this cause.

Celebrity, Christina Aguilera, has openly shared her story of family abuse, and has voiced her gratitude to this shelter, which is located in her hometown. The Women’s Center is a charity she supports as a celebrity, and as a woman who has overcome family violence.

Visit http://www.wcspittsburgh.org/, The Women’s Center website, to find out more.


HipPurse LLC is active in bettering the world we live in. As women, we want to have a voice; and through the charities we support, we are able to have just that. Whether we are helping the environment or the lives of the lesser fortunate, we are proud to say we can. And it is because of you, the women who believe in our product, who purchase our purses, and spread our name to others. You are a part of our ability to better our community and our Earth.
