While at a restaurant one evening, a friend's purse was stolen, inspiring Alexander to create an accessory that would free women from the worry and inconvenience of carrying "the bag."
"I wanted a hands-free, worry-free, fashionably correct accessory just for the essentials. Something much more sleek and stylish than a fanny pack," said Alexander. "Since there were no chic alternatives on the market, I set out to create something beautiful — equivalent to a slim clutch or a cool piece of jewelry. No more hiding lipstick in my cleavage."
The Bucklette® was created and designed by Sandra Alexander.
While single and living in Center City Philadelphia, Alexander was always on the go. Frequently running from work to a night out, she learned a quick change of clothes and "just the essentials" were necessary — lipstick, money, ID and house key.
Rather than a cumbersome handbag, Alexander carried a "wristlet" or an "under-the-shoulder" bag, but it typically ended up sitting on a table, hanging off a chair or on the floor.
