Picture it, you are out and about running errands, shopping or having lunch with your gal pals, when all of sudden a rainstorm hits. Living in the Midwest, we get rain all year long. While I love carrying my handbags wherever I go, getting caught in a rainstorm with my leather handbag can be a awkward and devastating. That was, until I found the colorful handbag raincoat – the Gussy.
How Gussy got started:
Back in the day when The Gussy founder Jamie Brown wore much of her disposable income on her back, she splurged on a fancy purse. You know what I mean – a REALLY fancy purse. This purse was so fancy it came with its own customized rain cover. Pretty soon, she found herself putting that rain cover into whatever purse she was carrying that day, knowing her purse would be safe if she were caught in the rain (she was also very bad about checking out the weather forecast!).
Whenever it would rain, women would stop her to rave about her clever rain cover. It didn’t take her long to realize that women should be able to have this accessory in their lives – and without having to buy a purse that costs a month’s salary!
And that’s how The Gussy rain cover was born. We’ve designed The Gussy to work with lots of different purse styles – hobos, top handle bags, you name it. Who says you can only be “gussied up” when it’s sunny out? Embrace the Rain.
I know that most every lady has a special handbag or purse that they treasure and adore. Image the cost to have it cleaned or restored after being rained on, even if it is a quick storm. While restoring helps, we all know that somehow it will never be that pristine bag it was before being destroyed by Mother Nature. With the Gussy purse raincoat, you not only keep your purse and valuables protected, but you also do it in fun color style with their unique designs. I personally selected the Chelsea. The design is modern and a bit edgy with just the right amount of flare. I have used it several times already and received many compliments and the infamous question “Where did you get that?!”
Gussy purse raincoats are made of waterproof polyester, and include velcro straps for quick assembly. The Gussy folds neatly and fits into most any purse. The standard size is 36″ x 16″ and will fit most purses. You can purchase the Gussy online directly and it is also sold in select stores in New York.
Do you have someone you know would love the Gussy? Be sure to add this to your stocking stuffer list this holiday season.
