I see the future of Proud & Pretty clearly and I am very excited in the brand we are offering to the American people. There is no brand like Proud & Pretty available today. Proud & Pretty, with the help of investors, will represent American women and men all over the nation. We will give Americans the brand they have been looking for as patriots to this great nation and as citizens to the best country in the world. We still believe in America, and we hope our brand influences others to stand proud as well.

Self Identified Competition
I can honestly say there are currently no competitors in the market today that offers our unique touch to the leather handbag industry. We are "Michael Kors" mixed with the 2nd amendment. We are "Portland Leather Goods" mixed with the Bullet pattern embossing. Its quality and luxury with a touch of American pride for the Proud American people. Proud & Pretty is different because it offers a luxury leather product that is embossed with a custom bullet pattern that looks elegant and natural. American women have been looking for a brand that allows them to be gorgeous and feminine but still stand for our constitutional rights to bear arms. Today women's patriotic apparel and accessories are geared towards masculine styles (ie. black colors, gunmetal tones, skulls, cannons, crossbones, etc.) We need products that allows us to be pretty women by color, style and tones. We are not a conceal carry handbag brand because we know not every woman, who stands for the second amendment, carries a gun. Additionally, we have research and education that supports our claim that carrying your gun in a purse is not a safe option. There is no brand like Proud & Pretty today.
