When is a zipper pouch not just an ordinary zipper pouch? When it’s adorned with a Gussy ruffle, that’s when!
The first time I ever laid eyes on a Gussy, I knew I had to have it. I didn’t necessarily need it (if you know what I mean), but I had.to.have.it.now.
I seriously don’t know a more adorable way to carry around your sweet little nothings than with a Gussy. I’m using my large zipper pouch to house all the little things that used to float around in my diaper bag. Things like hair ties, lip glosses, loose change and random coupons. I’m pretty sure I could name 1000 different ways to use a Gussy.
For instance, do you carry around business cards? How cute would it be to whip out your card out of a signature Skinny Gus?
And oh, for all you future brides out there, wouldn’t matching large zipper pouches be the best bridesmaid gift ever?
Like I said, there’s 1000 different uses for each and every Gussy. You need one. Your girlfriends need one. Want to learn more? Gussy has a fantastic blog, that’s updated often!
WIN ONE! Maggie Whittley, the owner, designer and fabricator of Gussy wants to give a $25 gift certificate to her store! To enter, visit her new shop (or Etsy shop), look around, and leave us a comment how you would use your Gussy!

I would really like the 12 x 8 3 zippered Gussy pouch with pears and apples on it. I have been organizing the backpack we'd grab in case of an emergency, and one of these bags would help me keep small things together, and might lift my spirits in a stressful situation. Thanks for the chance to win.

LOVELY!!!
I'd use one of these beautiful bags to hold together my necessities in the baby's diaper bag. I hate carrying around a purse AND a diaper bag but don't want to have to change everything over each time I run out w/o the baby, if that makes sense. Wallet, lipstick, checkbook, a pen, my cell, etc. and we're good to go!
January 26, 2010 at 3:57 pm

I would LOVE to use an adorable Gussy for my diaper bag/ purse. I am always searching around for crayons, hand sanitized, lipbalm, etc at the bottom of my bag. How much cuter and more organized to pull out a Gussy with everything inside?!?!
January 26, 2010 at 6:29 pm
I would use it to carry my ipod or phone. The two things that get lost in the depths of the diaper bag or my purse!

If I had a cute little Gussy in my purse, I'd finally be able to find my lipgloss instead of searching and searching aimlessly in all its dark corners! This truly is an emergency, as you can see.
