The Hands-Off Collection was established for young girls to have fun with fashion, while at the same time, conveying a positive message of self-love.

The Hands-Off logo will appear on every HipPurse™ in this collection. The hands represent STOP or NO and the heart, which is formed by positioning the thumbs together, represents self-love.  

When a child speaks up and takes care of their body, they are demonstrating self-love.  We believe it’s imperative for the child to learn this message at a young age. In addition, the purse (worn on their body) is a constant reminder to protect their body. 

About 1 in 3 female high school students have been, or will be, in an abusive relationship. 1 in 5 female high school students reports being physically and/or sexually abused by a dating partner. Abused girls are significantly more likely to get involved in other risky behaviors. They are 4 to 6 times more likely to get pregnant and 8 to 9 times more likely to have tried to commit suicide.  Source: National Domestic Violence Organization     

HipPurse LLC is committed to reducing these alarming statistics. The goal is to assist in teaching young girls self-protection and to have them engage in the pledge to protect their bodies at this critical, young age.  Every time they take care of themselves, speak up or say no, it will build self-esteem and confidence. It’s our mission to make sure they’re continually reminded of that power within. Ideally, we want them to lead a fulfilling life and not to become part of these statistics.

Each HipPurse will include a Certificate of Strength that the child is to sign and display on their wall.  It will be a constant reminder to not let anyone treat them badly, in any manner. Additionally, the purses will come with a Power Badge that can be left in the HipPurse and used as a shield, so-to-speak.

Percentages of proceeds from this collection will support our charities.
