Enter Save The Girls, a brand that has turned a common frustration into a revolutionary accessory. Specializing in “Touch Screen Purses,” Save The Girls has created a unique niche in the fashion industry by designing bags that allow users to operate their phones directly through a protective, transparent window.
However, Save The Girls is more than just a clever solution for the “connected” woman. It is a brand rooted in family, born from necessity, and fueled by a commitment to breast cancer research.
The Origin Story: From Phone Mishaps to a Global Brand
The brand was founded in 2017 by Tami Lange in Belleville, Illinois. The inspiration was hit-or-miss literally. In a single week, both of Lange’s daughters suffered catastrophic phone losses: one phone was accidentally laundered in the washing machine, and the other was lost during a hike.
While searching for a solution, Lange observed a common but problematic habit: women often tucked their phones into their bras for safekeeping. This was not only uncomfortable but, as Lange learned from her sister-in-law (a breast cancer survivor), potentially health-conscious women were looking for better alternatives. Lange quit her 20-year career to solve this problem, flying across the globe to find the right partners to manufacture a purse that didn’t just hold a phone, but allowed it to be fully functional while encased.
Innovation: How the Touch Screen Purse Works
The standout feature of a Save The Girls bag is the specialized, high-sensitivity textile on the back of the purse. This window allows you to:
- Text and Call: Handle communications without ever removing the phone from the bag.
- Navigate: Check maps or show digital tickets at events effortlessly.
- Stay Secure: Because the phone stays inside the bag, the risk of dropping it in a toilet, leaving it at a restaurant, or having it snatched in a crowded area is virtually eliminated.
The bags are designed to work with modern smartphone features, including facial recognition and swipe-up gestures. By focusing on “Hands-Free” living, the brand caters to busy mothers, travelers, students, and professionals who need their tech at their fingertips without the “digging-through-the-bag” fatigue.
A Style for Every Story
Save The Girls doesn’t sacrifice aesthetics for utility. Their catalog has expanded from simple crossbodies to a wide array of fashion-forward designs:
- The Clip & Go Series: Highly versatile straps and wristlets that allow you to customize your carry.
- RFID-Blocking Styles: Many of their purses include RFID protection to keep credit card data safe from digital theft.
- Diverse Patterns: From classic taupes and blacks to bold floral leopards and snake prints, there is a design for every wardrobe.
- Versatile Hardware: Options for gold or silver hardware allow users to match the bag to their personal jewelry and style.
Fashion with a Purpose: Supporting the Fight Against Cancer
The name “Save The Girls” is a playful double entendre. While it refers to saving phones from destruction, its deeper meaning lies in its philanthropic mission. A core pillar of the company is its support for breast cancer awareness and research.
Save The Girls donates 10% of its profits to the American Cancer Society and other breast cancer research initiatives. Every purchase made on their site contributes directly to funding support programs and awareness efforts. This “purchase with a purpose” model has built a deeply loyal community of customers who appreciate that their fashion choices are making a tangible impact on women’s health.
What started in a basement has grown into a major international exporter. Save The Girls products are found in over 2,000 retail locations across North America and have expanded significantly into markets like Canada and Australia. The brand’s success on television shopping networks and its robust affiliate program have turned it from a niche solution into a household name for functional fashion.
Empowering the Modern Woman
Save The Girls is a testament to the power of a simple, “why didn’t I think of that?” idea. By solving the very real problem of phone safety while simultaneously supporting a life-saving cause, Tami Lange has created a brand that empowers women to be active, connected, and stylish.
In a world that moves fast, Save The Girls ensures you never miss a beat or a text while keeping your most important essentials safe, secure, and close to your heart.
