Calling all design students!

The 2010 IHDA is almost here, and it’s time to make your mark as a cutting-edge designer.

This year, there are eight exciting categories that are open to handbag designers of all levels, including the Most Innovative Handbag Inspired by mark.

For those just getting started in the business, check out the Best Student Made Handbag category. Sponsored by handbag designer icon and mark collaborator Carlos Falchi, the winner of this category will participate in an apprenticeship with Carlos himself. (How good would that look on a resume?)

Submissions accepted until April 15, 2010. For additional contest details and to get your application started today.
