AnAtomy of A BAg Aim: "Create a bag for Tracy to wear when shopping in New York City. One that exuded sleekness and elegance but conformed to function and comfort as well. Tracy, who carries two cell phones would need to have two pockets, both easily accessible. A minimalist design with enough room for cash and a credit card and that's all." - Jed Frost To represent St. Louis, Missouri where Tracy was born, her old pair of crocodile skin boots were re-purposed for the bag's gussets as well as on smaller details. Louisville, home of Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby and where Tracy lives, is represented in the bag with a hook pick acting as the clasp and a horse bit used as the strap on the bag. Tracy is a diehard University of Louisville fan, so there was nothing more appropriate than using soft, Cardinal red lambskin for the lining. For a fnal touch, a silver plate was mounted on the strap bearing Tracy's signature, the very same one that signs off each issue of The Voice-Tribune.
