This past Friday, Haute Living and I had the honor of attending an extremely influential wait listed event at Ferrari of Naples last week with some of Ferrari’s most powerful women in the area as well as a guest appearance and presentation from Gretchen Bauer of BSWANKY. The event’s focus was on female empowerment and although the exotic car industry is mostly made up of male owners, Ferrari of Naples wants to continue promoting female empowerment, especially in the luxury car industry.

When it came to curating the event, Ferrari’s team and its partners paralleled on so many levels to create the most perfect experience for all ladies attending. A local favorite, Tony’s off Third owned by Sukie Honeycutt provided champagne for all the lovely ladies, The Four Seasons catered the delicious brunch and to top off the luncheon, guests were treated with an array of desserts from famed chocolatier Norman Love. Guests were invited to the unveiling of three personalized BSWANKY handbags that were inspired by Ferrari. Guests were also given a BSWANKY wristlet as a tribute for attendance. Looking past all the wonderful highlights, female attendees were graced with presence from Gretchen Bauer, the Founder of BSwanky handbags. Her story was truly a testament to empowering women from all over the world. Previously an interior designer by trade, Bauer created her company with a mission of making luxury bags in a comfortable, dignified work environment for her hard working women driven staff.
