You know Abi Ferrin as a local fashion designer, but she’s also a serious philanthropist, family girl, and certified scuba diver. When we invited her in to spill her purse, we discovered her goods are as interesting, well-rounded, and colorful as she is. Take a look.
1. Journal for “life logging.” “The goal is to get some system of organization.”
2. Passport. “It might not be the best place for it, but I know where it is.”
3. Solstice Salon. “That’s where I get cut, colored, feathered, sparkled, and all things beautified.”
4. Abi Ferrin frames from Morgan Gianni at Fashion Optical. “He has a gift for knowing people’s faces.”
5. Scuba diving card. “I’m freshly scuba certified.”
6. Orbit gum. “It’s my favorite flavor: mint and bubblegum in one.”
7. Photos. “This was from a really fun wedding.”
8. Emergen-C. “For a daily energy boost.”
9. We Can Do It! card case. “I use it as a wallet and for my business cards.”
