Transitioning
from an often laissez-faire family fun-filled summer fiesta to a
routine-driven school year isn’t always easy, not just for kids but also for
the already busy mommies.
Preparing and staying organized is key… stylishly
organized that is! While mommy duty calls may no longer allow the luxury of
time for dry bars and pedicures post summer, she can still be in style by accessorizing
with the perfect “it” bag!
Talking about busy, former Ralph Lauren intern in New York, now
Scottsdale-based designer, motivational speaker, published writer, wife and
mother of 9-year old boy/girl twins, JR Marriott sums it up well, “I had to design these bags because I
needed them to simplify my life. I craved a stylish leather bag where I
could find what I was looking for and that’s what a Tantrum handbag does.
Now when it comes to the rest of my life -- work, dinner, the kids activities and
alone time with my husband, I of course take time to plan ahead, but if
something comes up that I didn’t plan for then I’ve become super efficient at
quickly figuring out what to do right then and there...to act on it or do
nothing.” Did I
also mention? She sits on the Board of Directors as a Programs Chair for
the Fashion Group International of Arizona.

| Flaunting my Lone Survivor Tote with Tantrum Designer JR Marriott |
I met JR Marriott, Designer and CEO of Tantrum a
few months ago when I won the Lone Survivor Tote by Tantrum, which I adore for
its chic looks, posh quality, and its functional interior details. The lavish
leather and stud embellishment in vibrant plum hue contrasted with gold chain
straps, screamed modern and edgy while the inside pockets and compartments are
perfect for sophisticated personal effects.
JR Marriott tells us more about Tantrum:
SV: What type of woman does your brand cater to?
JM: I design for the 21st century woman. This woman currently creates outfits by pulling together items from multiple designers instead of how the 20th century woman pulled looks together from one designer to achieve a ‘matchy-matchy’ head-to-toe look. A cohesive look with unique parts that stand out from one another, yet coordinate and look beautiful together. This modern-day woman is a multi-faceted woman who wears many different styles for varying meetings or events she attends. Therefore Tantrum offers multiple handbag styles to meet the needs of this woman to coordinate with her ever-changing looks.

SV: What makes Tantrum handbags unique?
JM: My intention is to design,
select resources and create bags that will last a long time. Therefore we use
materials that are beautiful and resilient. All of our bags are
lightweight yet have this incredible depth and feel to them that says luxury.
Our distinctive signature leather from our core collection coupled with
our wisely designed interiors proves to be a winning combination. Two
innovative features are: (1) every bag is appointed with a unique key chain that
magically attaches to our bags in the same spot for reliable access; (2) We
call our pockets ‘Pockets with Purpose’ since they come in varying sizes for
different items, i.e. iPad, sunglasses, mobile phones, wallets, ear bud
pockets, etc., to keep them in place.

SV: What can we look forward to in the next season?
JM: We are currently working on a line of leather bound
notebooks that women can carry in our bags. These books will continue the look
of a beautiful, organized woman when they are in meetings or out and about that
complements their Tantrum handbag.
