Deni Sciano is a designer and founder of SCORE! Designs, LLC, a women-owned, upscale handbag company based in San Antonio, Texas. Her innovative, vibrantly designed handbags in colorful hues help incorporate the passion and excitement women have for their favorite sports teams, alma maters, schools, sororities, and civic organizations. She took a little time to share what various bags say about our personality and why they would make for great gifts for ourselves and others.
What does a person’s selection of a handbag, purse, backpack, etc. say about their style?
It depends on the person. Everyone has their own opinion and views of bags. Their style is an extension of the personality. So, when you’re looking at someone with a bag, consider their selection is oftentimes based on experiences which include work, shopping, sporting events, etc. For me, I focus on vibrant colors as well as their involvement with sporting teams, organizations, fraternities, and sororities. Judging by what they carry, I can determine if they are a fan of one thing or another, active in hobby, or have a special interest in life.
What does a person’s selection of a bag say about their personality?
A person’s bag design is also an extension of his or her lifestyle. For example, a Boho bag person has a carefree spirit. Color has a lot to do with personality too. The hue of the bag could be how a person feels about himself or herself in general or just for that day. Bag selection presents an opportunity to express activities of our choice, mood, and unique personality as well as fashion sense to the world around us. It also plays an important role in communicating creativity, personal taste, and mindful social interaction. Bag choices state personal style while being in harmony with its utility and practicality.
Why is it a good idea to select a bag that reflects a person’s unique persona?
Concerts, work, romantic dinner dates, travel, sporting events, and all of the many influences that make up our daily activities create an opportunity to select bags that reflect our unique fashion style. How you want to feel about yourself and how you want others to perceive you is taken into consideration. Cultural influences occasionally play a part in selections.
When gifting a person with a bag, why is it important to know what they like?
When the choice is made to gift a purse, tote, backpack, or other type of bag, knowing the person’s personality, tastes, favorite colors, interests and even needs is a valuable tool in choosing the HERO present. When looking to gift that perfect accessory, whether practical or extravagant, you can’t go wrong when you consider their desired couture, their comfort zone, whether they coordinate game day ensembles, nights on the town, daily activities, and their desire to sport something full of color and pizzazz.
