Anna Street on NECN's Business Day - April 8, 2009 Small business owners are thriving in one New Hampshire city. Portsmouth was named the Granite State's best city when it comes to starting a new business by Business Week Magazine...
Before Carrie Saunders opened Anna Street studio in 2004, a local make up studio carried her custom handbags.
"So as soon as we opened, we were up and running immediately as we were building out people were coming into the store, purchasing stuff before we could even put it out on the shelves."

New Designs from Anna Street Studio in Downtown Portsmouth
As a mother of three young kids, I really appreciate products that are functional, look great and fit in with a super busy lifestyle and I always design products that I would want to buy. With that in mind, we've pushed the reversible concept even further and are now offering bags that are three looks in one, our 3Style line, and most recently we introduced our SIX in one bag.
In addition to the 6-in-1 bag, we have also just released several new products that are super affordable without sacrificing any of the style. We now have adorable monogrammed key chains for $7, fabric covered mirrors for $9, colorful fabric wine bags for $17, fabric gift bags for $19 and beautiful jewelry rolls for $48. I think all of these items are so relevant to Spring/Summer from wrapping a graduation gift in a sweet, re-usable fabric gift bag, to bringing a bottle of wine to a picnic in a colorful ribbon trimmed wine bag. All of these items help to beat the recession while making an impression!

Women helping women's health
High fashion joined with health awareness Thursday morning at Anna Street Studios on Market Street, in hopes of defeating two of the leading killers of women: Heart disease and stroke.
The high-end bag store, a product of Carrie Saunders and her husband, Nick Saunders, invited two women who survived health scares to the store, where they each helped design a custom handbag as part of the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women campaign. The bags will be featured at the AHA's November luncheon.

Port of call
Need a handbag to complement that perfect outfit? You can probably find it at Anna Street Studio, but if not, just go to a table in the back of the shop and custom design a bag from a large selection of fabrics and trim.
