Last fall Love My Bag held its first modeling event at Yale University. "Everybody had a great time, including those who participated, and those who watched, as students strutted around modeling designer handbags," said Savarese.
"The courtyard, library, and common room of Calhoun College [at Yale, were transformed during our three-hour shoot with photographer Kim Heiligman.
