Founded in April of 2009, Christy had reached professional crossroads. Instead of retreating into the uncertainty of economic tough times, she saw her new professional freedom as an opportunity to pursue her dreams. Just as passionate about fashion as she was about globally conscious initiatives, she organically evolved her creativity to reuse the resources at her disposal to create eco-conscious bags and accessories that celebrated individual style.Thus, brooksBANG!

Reusing fabrics from her personal collections or materials found around town, to constructing and sewing the final product, no two brooksBANG bags are alike! Colorful, mod, sexy, vintage styled hand bags, totes, and accessories remixed from jackets, blouses, pants, jeans, curtains, placemats, tableclothes, belts...and the list goes on.

"I love creating bags that look like nothing else out there and becoming conversation starters wherever they're taken," said Christy. "Not only are they expressing their unique fashion sense with a brooksBANG bag, but they are creating an important dialogue about living an eco-friendly lifestyle and working towards a sustainable future for our planet."
Unique, handmade, durable, and eco-fashion forward, every brooksBANG bag is a personal creation that holds the passion, care and attention to detail of its founder.

Consciously created. Alluring designs. Designed to endure.

The bags, having already won the favor of such celebrities as Ana Ortiz, Martha Plimpton and Stella Maeve during the SoDe Collection's August 2009 Fashion Secrets of the South shopping event in New York City.

More recently in Atlanta, at the2010 Environment Furniture Fashion and Accessories Trunk Show you could find Logan Browning and Terri J. Vaughn from Tyler Perry's hit television show "Meet the Browns", and Lisa Wu Hartwell from the BRAVO show "Real Housewives of Atlanta", enjoying their broooksBANG favorite bags and accessories.

brooksBANG was honored to be asked to participate in the ECOuture Fashion Show benefiting the Melissa Carter Transplant Fund. ECOuture is a unique event in Atlanta, combining a traditional runway fashion show with an important message. Recycling is the theme of the evening, but its about more than just sorting paper from plastic. The benefiting organizations help those who depend on the ultimate act of recycling receiving a new kidney, heart, liver or lungs to give them a second chance at life. All proceeds benefit the Melissa Carter Transplant Fund at Piedmont Hospital and the Georgia Transplant Foundation. See brooksBANG bags on the runway at Opera in Atlanta GA October 2009!
