Only U.S. purse museum launches ESSEntial website
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., June 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- As the second anniversary of the soft opening in the SoMa neighborhood of downtown Little Rock, Ark., approaches, ESSE Purse Museum has launched a fabulous new website and online store! At essepursemuseum.com, you'll see a sample of what led The Huffington Post to name ESSE one of the hottest new museums in the world for 2014.
After checking out the website, perhaps you'll be inspired to book a trip to the only purse museum in the country – one of three in the world (with the other two in Amsterdam and Seoul). But ESSE Purse Museum is not just about fashionable purses – it's a history museum that tells the story of the 20th-century American woman through the purses she carried and their contents.
You can get lost in the permanent exhibit, "What's Inside: A Century of Women and Handbags, 1900-1999." You'll also almost always find a terrific temporary exhibit, included in the general admission price.
But The Store at ESSE is also a destination on its own – people drive for miles for the chance to find the perfect purse, a boss briefcase or a magical messenger/laptop bag from the carefully selected handcrafted and one-of-a-kind offerings. From luxurious leather to a variety of vegan choices, The Store has something for everyone. Or maybe you're in the market for unique, artistic jewelry or fun and funky accessory items; you'll find them at ESSE.
With offerings from designer Anya Sushko's bespoke leather handbags made in London to Neo and My Walit goods from Italy to wearable art from many American artisans, ESSE has plenty for the discerning customer, the one not afraid to march to her own beat yet invest in an heirloom-quality piece – and now you can access those items from the comfort of home.
Although walking into The Store is a sensory thrill, the convenience and savings of anytime shopping from home can't be overstated. ESSE has done the legwork by finding the artisanal handbags and jewelry, so all you have to do is let your fingers do the shopping to find the perfect piece to complement your style and wardrobe.
Come see for yourself in person or at essepursemuseum.com – or follow ESSE on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. A special item of interest is the historic "Purse of the Day," but you'll love it all.
