Meet Amy Puchot and Lori McGuinness the creators of an upmarket fashion accessory – beaded bra straps. They have designed an elegant way to let your bra straps “show”.
There’s a lot more to “elegant” than what you see here. With Amy’s jewelry experience and Lori’s construction of their strap adaptor (patent pending) this creative force has developed a comfortable and long wearing high-design visible strap.

Prism designer Stacy Allen (who has been test-wearing a turquoise beaded strap) presented our brand strategy and logo design directions yesterday. You can peek at a few highlights here:

We’ll reveal the final brand in a post later this month, as the creative Visible Straps team is hosting their first boutique show and sale, September 24-26 here.

We are thrilled to have this opportunity to work with the Dream Team at Prism Design whose hard work already is contributing to our success as a business. We appreciate everything they have done for us and really appreciate their passion for wanting to make our hard work be symbolized and branded in the best possible way.
