The Slipper Bag is patterned after Bernard's own pointe shoes from her days of going on toe at age 12 (she still has the corns to show for it, she says!). Positioned in a nearly perfect sous-sus, each of the two slippers is a zippered compartment just the right size to hold women's essentials like lipstick, keys, and a flip phone, or dance accessories for girls of all ages. Each bag is completely handmade and comes in a variety of color combinations, including pink, black, silver, and gold. It can be customized with a silver or gold jeweled handle inlaid with clear or champagne stones, or a leather strap that can be tied to desired length for the waist or the shoulder. The jeweled handle has a convenient hook which makes the bag into a wristlet, leaving your hands free. Each Slipper Bag comes in its own mesh pouch for attractive storage or gift-giving. Appropriately, Bernard has named her company Sous Sus, "the line that keeps you on your toes." She plans to manufacture more adaptations of iconic objects, such as a basketball-shaped handbag made from real basketball leather, which will debut soon in conjunction with the world champion Los Angeles Lakers. Sous Sus Slipper Bags can be purchased at the Jacqueline Jarrot boutique in Los Angeles' Beverly Center (310-659-2309), where they retail for $175 for a leather handle, $225 for the short jewel handle, and $275 for the long jewel handle. Soon, they'll be available online at www.sous-sus.com. Each custom bag takes 4-6 weeks to make and can be shipped to anywhere in the U.S. For more information, email sous_sus1@yahoo.com.
