About PurseOnalities

For over 15 years, PurseOnalities has been more than just an event—it’s a cherished tradition. It’s a time when women come together, united by a love of fashion and a desire to make a difference.

The excitement begins with the legendary silent auction. Imagine rows upon rows of fabulousness—designer handbags that turn heads, chic sunglasses that add instant glamour and self-care packages that promise pure indulgence. There’s a treasure waiting to be discovered by every guest, a reward for their generosity.

But PurseOnalities is more than just a shopping spree. It’s a day filled with laughter, connection and inspiration. A captivating speaker takes the stage, sharing a message that will uplift and empower you. You’ll leave feeling not just stylish, but invigorated and ready to take on the world.

The best part? By attending PurseOnalities, you’re not just treating yourself—you’re directly impacting the lives of children and youth supported by Child Saving Institute (CSI). Every bid, every ticket purchased, goes towards a brighter future for these deserving individuals.
