You know, in the pantheon of famous Jessicas, we always thought of Jessica Biel as the one with the good bangs but little real ambition. Sure, she was lucky enough to snag Justin Timberlake, but just
try to recall any one of her movie roles (and no, her TV time on
Seventh Heaven doesn't count.)
But maybe we were wrong about ol' Biel. She just launched a new handbag line with the help of her brother Justin and his friend Grason Ratowsky. The "socially responsible" collection is called
BARE and they're handmade in Colorado near where Biel grew up, and fashioned from reused coffee bean sacks. They range in price from $80 for a clutch on up to $320 for a duffel.
"It's my set bag ... It has all my scripts, all my stuff, all of my character stuff, it comes with me every day to work." said Biel of her BARE bag. "We all grew up with the Flatiron mountains right behind us. If you had any brain at all, you would just look outside your window and go 'Oh wow, this world is something that I want to protect.'" [
