Be Inthavong - famous handbag designer

[missjoy]

There's an interesting article and interview on Be Inthavong in VOA.

He's one of the famous designer for the Be&D Handbags sold in higher-end department stores where some of his clients are Jessica Simpson.

I listened to his interview and it's so nice to find such a talented Laotian who's so proud of who he is and where he is from. He's still young and grew up in America, but can speak Lao very fluently.
