Madison Handbags

Our Team

Trish Rost, President and Founder

I had a successful career in Marketing and Advertising when the idea of “design your own - purse parties” came to me. Working on the concept part time, it took me nearly 2 years to design the original 14 bags, choose the fabrics, and have the very first Madison Handbag party. In the few years since, the business has grown exponentially. I’ve been blessed to have so many fantastic women get involved, and I’ve been fortunate enough to leave my career to focus full time on Madison Handbags and spend more time with my children Becky and Brad.

Melissa O’Reilly, Corporate Vice President of Sales

Madison Handbags is a refreshing sales organization that has been a nice addition to my life! I enjoy selling the bags and recruiting. If you're interested in hearing more about joining our group, don't hesitate to call! I've been selling since July of '06 and I've never had more fun in a sales position. I look forward to growing along with this wonderful company!

Leah Groff, Corporate Sales Trainer, Team Leader

Having been unsuccessful with other direct selling companies, I wasn't looking to start another new business. Then in January 2008 I hosted a Madison Handbags party and fell in love! When you truly believe in a company and their products it's amazing how much you will succeed ... and I've seen much success since I started as a Madison Handbags Consultant. Having a busy full time job and 2 young children, I always make time to build my business and work with my team. I'm so excited to see what the future brings!

I joined Madison Handbags in August 2008 after reading about them on the Internet. I was immediately excited about both the concept as well as the endless possibilities this ground floor company had to offer! The talented women I have had the privilege of working with are amazing! I have never enjoyed working or playing so much! Being a busy Mom of three active children, ages 16, 3 & 2 offer many challenges. That's why Madison Handbags fits so nicely into my world. I am fortunate to have the love and support of my husband of 19 years Frank and my three wonderful children. I would encourage anyone who is looking to add some fun, excitement and MONEY into their lives to give us a call.

I have been doing parties for Madison Handbags since March of 2006 and love it! I am a fourth grade teacher at a rural school in Upstate NY and have a husband and two toddlers. I still manage to have fun and make great money for family vacations and personal pampering! Join our team!

I first saw a Madison Handbags on a train to NYC. While I was initially attracted to a bag, I quickly realized what a great company was behind that cool bag. I knew right away that I wanted to become a consultant. Madison gives me the freedom to choose when I want to work earn a great income. Thanks to Madison Handbags and the support of my husband Craig, I am able to spend more time with our girls, Erin and Shannon. I have never had so much fun working.

Chandra Jayakumar, Team Leader

I joined Madison Handbags in June of 2007 after attending only one party. I was immediately excited about the vision of the company. The concept is unique which helps the bags sell themselves. I am fortunate to have recruited several talented women that also share in the excitement and vision of Madison Handbags. The income potential is fabulous and it's up to each consultant – it has helped me earn extra income to purchase my first home. I am looking forward to growing with a company that has a promising future and endless opportunities for women!

Tara Buffa, Team Leader

I had my first Madison Handbag Party in March 2006 and fell in love with everything about the company. I love meeting new people, being able to set my own hours and goals, being recognized for my achievements, and receiving free bags, prizes and vacations. The income potential is endless! I have three wonderful children, Alek, Kobi, and Keegan and have been married for eight very exciting years to my Madison Handbag supporter/Husband, Darrin. During the day, I work full time as an advertising account executive at my local newspaper - a job which I've held for the last ten years. If I can fit a Madison Handbags career into my life, anyone can. Call today and get started on your Madison Handbag future!

Colleen Fluman, Team Leader

Madison Handbags is an amazing company with numerous opportunities for women to excel. I attended one party, designed two new purses and left thinking what a unique and exciting concept. Since starting with the company in September 2008, I have recruited several new consultants, earned free purses and fabrics, as well as a trip to New Orleans. Along with being a speech pathologist, wife and mother of three beautiful boys, I am proud to be a part of such an innovative, supportive, and energetic company.

Jane O'Dell-Miller, Team Leader

I love everything about Madison Handbags! I hosted a show in November 2008, and immediately knew I wanted to be part of this amazing company. I see this as a ground floor opportunity with excellent training for quick success. Madison Handbags has offered me trips, prizes, team building skills, personal growth, great commissions, and the opportunity to sell beautiful handcrafted handbags. The Madison team has a bright future, and I am very blessed to be a part of all this! If you are looking for a ground floor opportunity with a solid company join Madison today!
