A mere 5 years ago, Denton Kump was a successful, comfortable research scientist, with her Ph. D. In immunotoxicology. As if stepping from a Superman phone booth, but without the tacky cape, she emerged as an entrepreneur - designer, manufacturer and wholesaler of unique, edgy handbags. She began her business from her dining room, sewing her creations on her grandmother's antiquated Singer. As her fledgling wholesale business grew, she soon found she was doing the jobs of 5 people, designing & sewing the handbags, building a website, designing her brochures, and selling her products.
