LIVE IN LOVE Author’s Bag Line Available for Pre-Order Now
With Option to Bundle Upcoming Memoir
LIVE IN LOVE Available Everywhere August 18
Nashville, TN – Lauren Akins and ABLE announced today the ABLE x Lauren Akins Collection, a limited-time collection between the author and lifestyle brand to create two styles of women’s bags. Available for pre-order today, a portion of proceeds will benefit Love One, an organization Akins’ serves on the Board of Directors for, whose mission is to provide life-saving medical care for children in Uganda. Additionally, buyers have an option for a special bundle price of Akins’ upcoming memoir LIVE IN LOVE: Growing Together Through Life’s Changes (available everywhere August 18th) through Nashville’s Parnassus bookstore.
“I’ve personally been a big fan of ABLE for years, so it was a no-brainer to design my dream bags with them,” Akins shared. “The Shoulder Tote is the ultimate mom bag, without looking like a mom bag. I wanted it to have every possible feature you might need when trying to balance life with kids, while still looking cool and put-together. The Crossbody is the one I want to carry when I don’t have my kids – it’s simple and easy, but it still has some personality. Both bags are handmade from super soft leather, and I love knowing that they’re creating jobs for women around the world. Something I’ve seen firsthand from my work and travels to Uganda is the power of job creation in vulnerable communities, helping to free people from the cycle of poverty. That’s why this partnership is so special to me, because it’s another incredible way I can live a life of purpose each and every day.”
