Contestant's Case to Win

Ladies, if the wardrobe blahs have you down, you can add an accent of glamour and style using Julie Lowenbaum's patent-pending Couture Cuffs. As a stay at home Mom, self-taught designer Lowenbaum created a line of unique accessories to address her own fashion challenges.

These first ever slip-on cuffs instantly and affordably refresh timeworn tops and can transform daytime drab into nighttime glam! Offered in a variety of fabrics and colors, Couture Cuffs fit conveniently in a handbag or suitcase, extending your road warrior wardrobe. Cuff Luv manufactures locally in Chicago where Lowenbaum received a "Designer of the Year" award.

With things catching on, the line is now being expanded to include figure flattering wraps that can be worn multiple ways as well as other uniquely functional accessories like collars, sleeves and magnetized brooches. Lowenbaum's got more up her sleeve we're sure, but these are her secret style weapons for now.
