Annie's Attitudes, Annie Stephens
Each hand-sewn bag made by Annie Stephens is unique, having its own distinct look, style, and attitude. Annie's neighbor and business partner, Brett Isbell, were both involved in founding the People's Market. Annie starting selling her bags at the very first People's Market, bringing a sparse selection of bags spread across two tables. Now, she has an inventory of several hundred bags, selling them wholesale to local stores. Annie's Attitudes has also set up booths at the Avenues Street Fair and the Park Silly Sunday Market.
Since that first year, annual sales have more than doubled, and Annie has created several different lines of bags. They range from small and elegant to her notorious "Hell-bags," which are about 3 feet wide, and could probably hold a small child.
