For anyone who doesn't know,
00:04
Edie Parker is named
after your daughter, Edie.
00:08
What made you decide to
name the company after her?
00:11
I thought the name was really cool,
00:12
obviously, and I just used it.
00:14
But I also thought it was
evocative of famous Edies
00:17
from the '50s and '60s that
kind of had the brand essence.
00:22
Many women, when they
decide to start a family,
00:25
consider stopping working,
and you created a company.
00:30
I had a doctor who once told me,
00:31
"How can we expect our children to achieve
00:33
"if we don't show them
ourselves trying to achieve?"
00:36
And that really resonated with me.
00:37
So if I'm going to
leave her, it's gonna be
00:39
for something really worthwhile
00:41
and something that she
can really be proud of.
00:44
[Jane] You started collecting
purses when you were 16.
00:47
What was it about them
that drew you to them?
00:50
I think what I was attracted
to with the vintage bags
00:53
is how timeless they really
are, that they looked
00:55
as good today as they did in the '50s,
00:58
and I want to perpetuate that idea.
01:02
[Jane] What is your
philosophy of three out of four?
01:05
There's four categories
that are very important to me.
01:07
So one is personal, my makeup
routine, my exercise regimen.
01:12
The other, my husband, so marriage is two.
01:14
My children, three, and my career, four.
01:17
And I think it's unrealistic
to think that you can do
01:20
four out of four successfully
at any given time.
01:22
So I focus on three out
of four and do those well,
01:25
and they always rotate.
01:26
Unfortunately, my husband is
the one that gets the short end
01:28
of the stick because I
won't give up moisturizing.
01:33
What would you consider
to be the biggest compliment
01:36
that Edie could pay you
when she's talking about you
01:39
maybe in her later years, when
she becomes a young woman?
01:44
You know, she's only six
and a half, but she'll often
01:46
say now, "Oh, I wanna make
Edie Parker bags with mommy."
01:48
And I think that's adorable.
01:51
And if she still likes
me into her adolescence
01:54
and thinks that what I do is
cool and wants to be with me
01:57
in that capacity, then I would think that
01:58
that is the biggest
compliment she can give me.
