Did you know Dumbo is in Brooklyn?

I've been following a line of handbags for about a year or so. I first heard of Corrente Bags from a company called Showroom New York. Prior to my trip to New York I decided to give the designer a call and hopefully order some bags for the store. Surprisingly I got a hold of the designer Corrie who I later found has family ties to Cornelius, NC. Corrie and I decide that when I get to NY we would meet at Dumbo in Brooklyn. I didn't realize DUMBO, an acronym for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, I truly thought it was an entertainment complex for kids.
Upon meeting Corrie for Lunch I also got to meet a close friend of hers who happens to know the lead singer of the "Brunettes"!
After lunch we head over to Corrie's factory at the Brooklyn Naval Yard where she shows me some incredibly soft leather handbags. The interior of the bags are lined with beautiful fabrics that definitely add a nice touch. I ordered a number of bags from the fall line-up and definitely look forward to doing some projects with Corrie in the near future.
