I’m not particularly interested in marketing luxury brands as much as I am interested in obtaining a Gucci bag or two :  ) – so I am determined to save! While there was no word on how to snag a bag, the presentation from Uche Okonkwo with Luxe Mag was very good. She’s an intelligent and interesting woman with a charming voice.

Uche was talking about website branding and the one thing I was left wondering was why there is a lack of diversity on her own website, as she has pictures of actual people? I find it interesting since she is a person of color and her name sounds like she’s actually a Japanese man. She considers herself a “Citizen of the World” as she is well-traveled, educated, speaks several languages and is all-in-all “diverse.” I can only guess it has something to do with her target market.

While Uche was great, the coolest part of the night was when this obviously semi-wealthy woman told me she liked my dress. Little did she know, I got it on sale at Walmart – five bucks. Still makes me smile. Who says I need a Gucci bag? : )
