Who doesn’t love hanging out in New York City with fashion industry greats, fashionable bloggers and (cough) EcoSalon’s Editor-in-Chief? If this sounds appealing, sign up here for a chance to win $500 and a ticket to the Sixth Annual Independent Handbag Designer Awards from our friends over at JP Selects!

Presented by Handbag Designer 101 and sponsored by InStyle, the awards are a great night to see up and coming designers on the handbag scene and will be featuring an Audience Fan Favorite which you get to be part of with your very important vote. Watch this video below and cast your own vote at InStyle.

Join us at the event, where JP Select’s CEO Paolo Fidanza will be awarding the prize for Best Socially Responsible Handbag designer. In addition to the partnership with InStyle, expect to see fashion greats like Kenneth Cole, representatives from Timberland, Singer Sewing, Save the Garment Center, The Fashion District, WWDMagic and more.

Plus, if you get two friends to sign up, you’ll have a chance to win an extra prize – one of the winning handbags!
