Have You Heard of The Crazy Bag Lady?
Today we would be talking about a new buzz in town. It is The Crazy Bag Lady. Without much introduction let's hear it from the owners of The Crazy Bag Lady, Sarah Shams and Humairah Shams.
Deshi Buzz: Tell us about yourself?
The Crazy Bag Lady: We're a small home based business that wants to make the world a better place, one bag at a time :D
DB: How did The Crazy Bag Lady start?
TCBL: It started with a very bored 16 year old (Humairah) with a passion for sewing. She wanted to make her sister a birthday present and so made her a bag. That was one of the very first creations of the Crazy Bag Lady. Within a very short time, she made so many bags that she did not know what to do with them, so she made a blog, and put them up for sale. The blog itself became so popular that we opened a page on Facebook and thus the Crazy Bag Lady officially came to be.
DB:Â Tell us about your designs?
TCBL: Our specialty is that most of our bags can be customized according to the customers' liking. And by bags, we do mean All kinds of bags, starting from phone pouches to big book bags. We also have make up bags, shoulder bags and our latest addition, lovely evening clutches. The design we're most proud of, however, is the Vinyl clutches, where the customer can turn their favorite pictures into a fabulous clutch.
DB:Â Â Â Â How did you come up with the name?
TCBL: Funny thing about that is, Humairah did not even need to think hard about the name. The name "Crazy Bag Lady" just came to her. It just made a lot of sense. It’s a very accurate reflection of her personality.
 DB:    Any interesting story you’d like to share about The Crazy Bag Lady?
TCBL: There are no interesting stories in particular, but we want to take this chance to introduce Elf, the co owner of The Crazy Bag Lady, Henry the narcissistic ceramic bird and Biscuit and Cookie, the little guinea pig sidekicks. One of the most fun times we had was preparing for the Way To Fame fair. We gathered all our minions (people, not ceramic birds and guinea pigs) and made flowers and bows for the bags. It was a hoot. :D
DB:Â Â Â Â What is the aim of The Crazy Bag Lady?
TCBL: The main goal of The Crazy Bag Lady is to provide the customers with unique designs that are not normally available here. Also, it’s obviously not about the profit we make, it’s about spreading smiles and making people happy. It’s very fun to see people get excited over the bags we deliver to them. Nothing tops that amazing feeling.
DB:    Anything you’d like to say to the readers of the Deshi Buzz?
TCBL: Deshi Buzz is an incredible initiative. Keep reading it. It’s awesome. (Y)
DB: Any selfish promotional stuff you’d like to say?
TCBL: Keep calm and buy bags :D lol. Also, be sure to visit the Crazy Bag Lady on the 10th of August at Eid Carnival '12 fair at Volume V near D Boulevard.
DB:Â Â Â Â Deshi Buzz aims to promote the young people of Bangladesh to have interesting topics to talk about. What do you think about this initiative?
TCBL: It’s an incredible initiative and it is indeed a great way for people to be heard. Also a great way to be updated about the entertainment news. Great job, keep it up. (Y)
