Hello Everyone!
First I want to say thank you so much for your support over the last year!!! We’re almost to our one year anniversary mark and have been blown away by the incredible response from all of you. We’ve definitely learned a lot over the last year especially about how much to order! I really have appreciated how patient you all have been as we’ve sold through inventory so much faster than expected.
We are constantly working on developing new and exciting ways to use our patent pending handbag design. I’m sure you’ll be excited to know we have new styles coming every month from now on! Watch for them to begin arriving in the next few weeks.
I’m always so excited to run into customers around town. It’s such a great feeling to see so many women enjoying the Miche Bag as much as I do. I would love to hear all of your questions, comments and suggestions, so please come talk to me if you see me around Salt Lake City, or leave us messages on the blog! We couldn’t do this without you and we want you to know we are 100% committed to keeping our customers happy!
Thanks again to all of you!!!

I received a bag and 5 shells for Christmas from my mom, she is fanatic about this line. I on the other hand use only Dooney and Bourke. I’m having a hard time switching over. Not because of the name, but because of the size. I have two small children and a husband as well as about 50 lipsticks in my bag. I need something bigger !!!
Any thing on the horizon ?
A couple of questions:
I forgot to ask how to change the handles when I bought my bag today. Can you tell me how?
Also, the person I bought the bag from, said you will be introducing the bag into kiosks in malls. Will you be posting on your website where these will be located?
Thank you.

I purchased a Miche bag for myself and my twin grand daughters in Las Vegas last March. We really love them and my two daughters would like to visit a Kiosk in the Denver area. I found one on your web site a few months ago in Park Meadows Mall. I can no longer find it. Is it still there and how do I find the Kiosks in my area? Your Web a site keeps saying no results found. we live in the Boulder/ Westminster/Golden areas. Are there any in our area or is Park Meadows the only one? Please respond. We love the purse and would like to buy in person. Your web site also said the shell in out of stock. Is that true? I would also like some info on becoming a distrubutor. I get so many comments on my Miche bag .Thank you Vicki

I have been showing my bag around and I am excited to join the company. I have had people ask me if their credit cards would be de-magnetizied when they carry them in the pockets?
Please let me know so I can tell them the correct information.
Thank You!

I love the bag – just bought it this weekend from 2 very nice indiv….however I have 2 comments:
1) you need some more casual shells…i.e. perhaps a denim or summer canvas and many of the covers are cutesy (added bows). Keep them simple so more people can use them. You have a wonderful professional lineup – but with the boxy shape alone adding to its dressed-up factor some casual ones are very important.
2) I see a future problem with the fact that it would be very simple to sew a new cover – so companies are going to pop up with their covers for your bag. You don’t need to answer me, but ask yourself do you have a plan to cover this possibility?
I just discovered your bag today. I was shopping at the Calgary Stampede, and there was a booth displaying all of these great looking bags. The lady who was giving her talk told me that the bags retailed for $90-$100.00 and that each "outfit" for the bag was $25. Also she claimed the strap was $14.95. I really do love the idea, and feel that the bag will serve me well, however I do think you should be careful about the ladies who are at these trade shows and the information they are giving out. Honestly I feel a little manipulated and lied to, I am not sure I will be ordering more "outfits" because of her misleading me. Quite a disappointment.
I was at my secound job when Liz came to my register and had your purse. I just absolutely love the idea and she gave me a book. I am going to book a home party and I have been telling my sisters, daughter and friends. Do you have anything around New Hampshire this is where my daughter lives and I would love her to be able to see them. Christmas is not to far away and these would be excellent gifts for the women..
My sister bought me this bag for my birthday and I absolutely LOVE it! Unfortunately, I was at a store the other day and the cover must have gotten caught on a shopping cart in the parking lot and it came off and I didn’t notice it until I got home. I went back to the store but could not find it. My suggestion is to perhaps put little clips on the top to anchor it more so if the magnets do get caught the clips will keep the cover from dropping. Thanks.
I found this bag in Vegas! It’s a great product…interchangable shells, animal friendly, inexpensive and oh so convenient!!
It’s been a week and I’ve already used all my shells.
Pardon me, but gimme more, more, more!!
Hi there,
My friend just showed me this website and as I am half way through my first pregnancy, I was curious as to if you’d make a diaper bag (or larger purse) in the future! It would be great to have pink or blue designs, for boy or girl, or keep it customized to my outfit!
Thanks

I just bought your bag and am wondering if there is a place I can purchase more shells (without a bag) in Calgary or on-line. I love the bag & the idea that if one shell becomes worn, you can still use the bag with other shells. Not having to change my contents from purse to purse is a huge bonus.
I wanted to respond to Leanne who was told the shells retail for $25, etc. I am trying to find here to buy the shells on the internet, and have come across two sites that sell in Canada. One site only sells the package (as you had at the Stampede (1 bag, 3 shells & straps for $99). The other sells this same package for $99, but has a second package of 3 shells for $75). The US site sells the shells for $20 ea, but does not send to Canada. If anyone knows where I can get the shells in Canada (on-line), that would be great. Thanks.
I just bought my bag and I love it, everyone I see I tell them about it and they love it too. My main suggestion is WE NEED MORE SHELL OPTIONS, I was even thinking along the lines of sports teams, or even those famous picture purses that are so popular (ex. elvis, wizard of Oz, Marilyn Monroe) even fun exciting shells that look like New York City. Really this idea is great and the sky is the limit to the type of shells that you could create
I love my bag I bought 3 shells and feel I need more. I can change my bag daily and not take a thing out. It will be great for traveling to go with everything I pack.
In response to Kim’s email, The kiosk is also at Capital Ex in Edmonton. Shells are $19.99 each and if you buy 3 there is no GST. Capital Ex is on at Northlands until Saturday, July 26th.
I would like to know the answer to Barbie Staley’s question (above). I recently saw the Miche bag at a kiosk in the mall and flipped over it…what a fabulous idea…but didn’t buy it because my friend raised the question about demagnetizing credit cards and going through airport security. That is the only thing standing in my way of making a purchase. I personally would prefer another method of attachment (also brought up above).
I have the same question as Angela above about it demagnetizing credit cards and going through airport security. Would really love to know the answer to this question!
I just received a beautiful gift of the ‘Miche’ Bag from my daughter and son-in-law.I am thrilled to bits. Wonderful idea.
My daughter & I just purchased your bag which came with 1 black cover & 3 covers of our choice & also included longer straps at Costco for just under $99. We just think the whole system is terrific .. thanks so much … what a wonderful & practical idea.
I have been reading about the Miche bag and have decided that i would like one. I can only find one outlet in England,United Kingdom, with a very limited amount of shells.
I love the idea and it occurs to me that I should be a distributor. If you think that another distributor here is a good idea, then you may like to send me the details.

I bought my Miche here in the UK at BestDirect with 3 extra shells of my choice. However the hunt for extra shells lead me to the official website and a great selection, I agree though we need more casuals (especially a denim one!), and maybe even a bigger workbag version. Having said that, this is a fantastic product keep up the good work and please – more shells!!!
My husband bought me the BUNDLE (for my birthday) at a mall in Salt Lake City in March and I just love it. I live in the New Orleans area and no one here has seen anything like this…they love mine and want info on how to get one. I’d love to have a home party for my friends and family. Let me know how!
I was told by my sales lady that it would not demagnatize credit cards or affect cell phones. She did not mention airport security. But she also told me the bag and shells would cost more online and now that I see the online prices I didn’t save any money. So I don’t know if I trust what my sales lady said.
Excellent idea! Picked mine up at Costco on the weekend.
I can’t wait for the matching wallets now!
Hopefully we, in Canada, will be able to purchase the extra covers on-line! I’ll be watching.
Thank you!
I love the bag…I have been thinking about it for a month and finally purchased one today. I will admit, I am a lover of large bags! Will you be making a larger bag in the future??
I learned of the Miche purse when I stumbled across a kiosk in a mall near Operyland while on vacation 2 weeks ago in Nashville, TN. After seeing how stylish & simple the system is, I purchased a black & a brown purse, along with several shells. I absolutely love them, but wish the purse was slightly larger in size. (I really had to pare down to make things fit). I can’t wait for your locator to work; I’m looking for a local distributor in the Orlando, FL area. There was a shell I saw in TN that I wish I’d gotten which isn’t yet on your site. Great product; I love matching shells to outfits without having to disturb the purse’s contents.
Do you know if the Miche Bag will be available in the near future in a slightly larger size. Also, would the magnets bother my Amazon Kindle eReader. My concern with the present Miche bag is that it’s not large enough to hold all my stuff. My wallet, my Sony digi camera, my cell phone and my Kindle reader plus all the other small stuff one puts in a purse. I love the concept of the Miche bag but would probably have to see one in person and try to put all my stuff inside of it. Can anyone tell me what you carry in your Miche bag right now, and how it all fits. Thank you for any info. you want to share. I looked at Costco online, but didn’t see any Miche bags.
I purchased mine a couple of months ago and love it!! I’m planning on adding more shells soon. Like Angie K, I was also wondering if the bag might come in a slightly larger size in the future. It’s great but I could use another couple of inches all around.
I purchased my Miche Bag two days ago with 5 shells and I love it! It would be nice if the bag were slightly larger, but it’s still good. And, I agree that more shells, and some "casual" shells are a must! Otherwise, it is brilliant!!!!!
I bought my Miche bag last week at Miracle Mile Mall in Vegas and paid $129 for my bag and 3 shells. I now see that I overpaid. The lady that I bought from told me that online they were much more expensive and they’re not. I bought 5 extra cases. I thought there should have been some volume deals. Like buy 5 more for $15 each. There needs to be an incentive to buy volume. I hope that Canadians will soon be able to buy online (if they can’t at this point – I haven’t tried). I have a lot of female friends who would spend a bundle on this product!!
TRAVELERS!!! don’t worry, i fly evey wednesday and have had no problem at all with TSA.
the magnets are very sturdy and NO they will not demagnetize your credit cards.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this bag, I need to be a distributer, I have already had 5 friends buy one after seeing mine.
Top quality too. The shells are great, but if it wasn’t a top quality bag I would have never bought it.
Great product in every way!!
**I also would like more casual covers, not so many bows, and maybe straw, or something with an outside pocket. just a few ideas!!
I just love this bag. Such a great idea! I already have 6 shells and want more, that were not on sale at the P.N.E. in Vancouver.I would love it even more if the handles, straps and some shell options were in leather. I think a clutch with optional strap and a tote (oversized purse) would be a great addition to the line. I would love a tote in natural (nubuck) leather to replace my other favourite purse. I would also like a straw shell for summer and a tapestry shell for fall.I am looking forward to your new product annoucement.Thank you!
I saw the bags at a fair in WA,I wanted to buy it right then and there. I think its the greatest concept ever. Im just worried the magnets wont hold. I dont overstuff my purse, but i do have heavy thigs, If its pushing on the bottom, will the shell slide down on the top? How many times has your shell fallen off on one or both sides in a day?
I like the patterns. I really like oranges. Like a coral color. I like canvas or suade. I love the idea of denim. But I also really like the bows and the buckles.
If I buy this purse, I plan on buying many shells as time goes on….
Maybe if it had snaps as well as magnets it would be more secure..
Love the bag. Bought one for me and my daughter at the LA County Fair over th weekend. The folks representing the line there were awesome.
Need more shells….a demin one would be great and one with cherries and cowboy boots and hats. The possibilities are endless and really needed.
Love purses and with the multi faces that this purse could have, it could be my last one. A bigger one would be nice too but not really neccessary since it fits the important stuff really nice.
I purchased my bag and 2 shells about 3 weeks ago at the State Fair. On several occasions the shel has come loose on one side and I had to re-attach it. On one occasion, the shell completely came loose and I caught it before it fell on the ground. I love the bag but I am afraid I am going to loose the shells. I don’t know why this is happening because I did not catch it on anything. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what can be done???

I too recently purchased a bag (included 3 shells)…two day later went back and purchased 5 more. I would love to become a distributor…I probably could have sold 100 within a ten minute demo. My concern is the magnets and airport security, I would hate to get there and be told to get my shells out of my suitcase. I am planning a 10 cruise and wanting to take them all with me (all 8 shells). I have one more suggestion…I am a Red Hatter and there are thousands of chapters all over the world of ladies (baby boomers love to spend money)….especially Red Hatters…you might want to zero in on that group…red and purple are the colors to go!!!!
Thanks and keep them coming…I think I might have to start a support group up for Michebag buyers(lol)

I agree with the need to have a bigger bag and an outside pocket for cellphone.
I would also like to have a wallet with detachable shells !
The diaper bag idea is a great one.
Possibilies are endless !
My distributor told me that QVC would be introducing them this weekend. I am looking forward to that .
Hi, I wanted to say that this bag is just awesome! I’m a bag lover, but I do not like paying for the price of the bags I so love – what a great alternative without an overwhelming wall of bags! Also, have you thought of diaper bags? and maybe the shell could be used for diaper changes? Loving your ideas – and totally impressed with you and your project! I hope Oprah hears about this and puts you on her show or your bags on her favorite things list however with or without that, it looks like you two will both become super rich chics! Good job, way to follow your passion and thanks again for benefiting us too!
When are you going to make bigger handbags. This size is just way too small and I know a lot of people that would love to buy the bags because they are so great but will not because of the size. You need to get a medium and large size bags. I love my bag that I have but would prefer a bigger one!
I also purchased my bag in Vegas and overpaid. I do like the shells and get many compliments but in just a little over two months, the handle is falling apart and I don’t see a way to replace just the handle…
The magnets have never been a problem with credit cards or on airplane trips. The shell has only come detached once. Doesn’t seem a problem.
Oh my God, this bag is so Fabulous. I think this has got to be the best idea ever. I bought this bag not too long ago and have been using it every day. Changing the shells are fun, and makes my life so much easier. I love to show off my bag and plan to buy a few this Christmas for gifts. Can’t wait to see new and up coming additions to the Miche.
I saw the Miche bag on HSN and fell in love. Much to my pleasure we have representative that attended our local festival and I bought the base bag and 5 shells. I cannot say enough about the wonders of this bag. I will never buy another purse, unless I decide I need a brown base. The selection of shells is awesome.
I would like to put a bug in your ear about the future. I would love to see straps to match the shells.
This line of bags is the best ever. Thank you for the Miche bag. I love it!!!!!
Wondering what the deadline is for the free shipping special you have on now?
Please come out with a GIRAFFE print shell.
I too had the same problem of the shell falling off and after it happening to me once at a restaurant I returned it. It was quite imbarressing having it fall half way off at a fancy restaurant when I bumped it on a chair. It also was too small for me and the straps were too short and the long straps were too long for me. I need something inbetween.
What is the status of the mini miche bag. I would love to see a picture of it. I think there should be a matching wallet.
I don’t see on your web site where you can order replacement short handles, my handles are all tearing where they are connected to the ring.
I want a Miche bag, and keep coming back to the web site, but i am a big-purse person and need something larger. Are there any plans for marketing one?
I’ve fallen head over heels with your products, so much I’m now selling them through my local distributor. She has stood strong and committed to all of us, what a wonderful way to be creative through our MICHE BAGS… Keep them coming we want to change the world with Endless Possibilities !!!!
