Save The Girls Touchscreen Purses Exceeds $3 Million Annual Sales for 2023
While most businesses founded in the U.S. fail, against all odds, touch screen purse innovator and manufacturer Tami Lange president and founder of Save the Girls (STG)(Belleville, Illinois) achieved sales of more than $3 million annually for a 52% growth rate in 2023. Belleville is a suburb of St. Louis, Missouri located in the Metro East region of Greater St. Louis, MO. Studies from as recently as 2021 show that only 1.9% of all women-owned businesses had revenues of $1 million or more. Save The Girls not only reached but tripled the million-dollar threshold. Lange’s business survived the usual challenges of a female owned enterprises but also successfully overcame the Covid-19 pandemic. It was during that time 98% of the retail outlets that carried the Save The Girls Touchscreen Purse closed. During that time, Lange pivoted and introduced products that were useful and fashionable during that difficult time.
The success of STG largely owes to the growth of its breakthrough Touch Screen Purse line.
Beneficial Intention
The uniquely designed purse allows users full access to all functions of their cell phones while safely stored inside stylish purses. STG’s purse design promotes hygiene and safety by eliminating the need to place cell phones on shared surfaces in public places. Save The Girls Touchscreen Purses are available in over 2500 retail locations nationwide and featured internationally on QVC, TSC (Canadian Shopping Network) and TVSN (Australia’s shopping channel). STG Touchscreen Purses are available from Dierbergs and areaHallmark Stores.
Prevent Damage and Loss
STG began after the founder, Tami Lange’s two daughters destroyed both their phones in the same week. Worse, her sister-in-law used her bra as a cellphone carrier even though she had breast cancer! Lange decided it was time to find a better way for women to store and use cell phones with the smartphone fully functional. Thus, the STG touchscreen purse was born complete with its founders’ higher purpose included.
There are many features and benefits available to users with Save The Girls which of course contribute to the financial success. Some of these are:
- Convenience: keep from losing, dropping, or cracking a smartphone,
- Functionality: the phone is always close by,
- Versatility: The Clip-n-Go strap can be made into a crossbody or worn traditionally.
- It also can convert into a wristlet.
- The phone card can be removed, and the strap worn with other bigger bags also,
- Can wear to places that don’t allow regular handbags,
- Extra zipper pocket pouch allows for credit cards, change, keys, and other items to be stored.
About Save The Girls
Save The Girls manufactures and sells purses with smartphone pockets that make those devices accessible and fully functional without taking them out of the purse. Most importantly, women could use their smartphones and tablets without placing those devices against themselves. Since its founding Lange’s company has donated 10% of profits to Breast Cancer Research.
CAPTION: After surviving the rigors female owned start-up businesses endure and the Covid-19 pandemic that closed over 2,000 retail outlets, touch screen purse innovator and manufacturer Save the Girls (STG) of Belleville, Illinois achieved sales of more than $3 million annually for a 52% growth rate in 2023.

Elevate Your Practice: Unveiling the Comfort and Style of Silverwind Yoga Wear
Quality yoga wear is essential for yoga enthusiasts, particularly women, as it enhances both comfort and performance during practice. Well-designed yoga apparel provides the flexibility and support needed for various poses, ensuring a full range of motion. The right fabric wicks away moisture, keeping practitioners dry and focused. Beyond functionality, stylish and comfortable yoga wear contributes to a positive mindset, boosting confidence and allowing individuals to fully immerse themselves in their practice. Ultimately, a good set of yoga wear becomes more than just clothing; it becomes a supportive companion on the journey to physical and mental well-being.
SILVERWIND, founded by Keri Waits and Katherine Zeng in 2020, emerged from a shared passion for sustainability and fitness. In the initial months of that year, they embarked on their professional journey but found their roles lacked the purpose they sought. With a dedication to sustainability and a love for fitness, they observed a gap in the market for diverse and eco-friendly activewear styles. Inspired by nature’s variety, they decided to establish SILVERWIND to offer sustainable activewear options. Collaborating with a family-owned factory in China, boasting 30 years of experience, they aimed to provide affordable, sustainable choices. SILVERWIND transcends being merely a brand; it’s a community fostering diversity, fitness, and sustainability, owned by all who share the belief that these aspects should coexist. Committed to positive impact, they collaborate with other sustainable organizations and charities, recognizing the shared responsibility of supporting one another and Mother Earth.

SILVERWIND’s patterned activewear is crafted from recycled polyethylene tetraphyte (RPET), which is PET plastic that has been recycled, reprocessed, and transformed into something new. The production of RPET not only consumes up to 50% less energy compared to manufacturing PET from scratch but also prevents plastic bottles from ending up in landfills or the ocean. This sustainable approach ensures that the planet remains unharmed. Instead of relying on the environmentally damaging process of crude oil primary extraction to obtain the core ingredient of PET, SILVERWIND utilizes an abundant product that might otherwise contribute to plastic pollution.

Ensuring quality and safety, the brand secures Standard 100 certification from Oeko-Tex for all its fabrics. This certification affirms that the clothing is free from harmful substances, such as arsenic, lead, phthalates, formaldehyde, and pesticides. Additionally, the RPET recycled fabric used is verified through the Global Recycled Standard (GRS), offering assurance that the products are crafted in a sustainable and ethical manner using recycled materials.
Silverwind, as a socially and environmentally-responsible business, believes in doing more than providing customers with comfort and confidence; it strives to leverage its influence to support earth projects and aid vulnerable females and the less fortunate. Since the inception of the business, Silverwind has been a steadfast supporter of Ocean Conservancy, an organization at the forefront of marine conservation, seeking effective science-based solutions to protect the ocean and wildlife. Silverwind directly donates 10% of its profit to Ocean Conservancy’s ocean conservation projects with every sale, embodying its dedication to making a positive impact. -
