ARTISAN SPOTLIGHT
SPOTLIGHT:
Taxidermy
WRITTEN BY
Recently I was introduced to Amy
Driggers, founder and creative
designer behind the exotic luxury
bag line Taxidermy. After working for
a few years after college and gaining
knowledge of the business and a love
for exotic skins, she decided to launch
her own line.
Amy designed her first dream bag
four or five years ago and went live
with her website last April. She is so
new on the scene that she was nervous
about our interview, but quickly her
Blair Farris
nerves turned to authenticity as she
spoke about her passion for fabulous
design, quality and history. She is
unpretentious, generous and so incredibly talented. With barely a year under
her belt as a new line, Amy was the
darling of Charleston Fashion Week
this year. Her handbags were carried
on many runways and photographed
by style bloggers. She also designed
custom python bolero jackets to
compliment wedding dresses and
formal gowns.
