Orange County, CA (1888PressRelease) July 24, 2012 - Gigi Hill®, a designer line of fashionable and functional totes, handbags and accessories sold through home parties nationwide, is hosting its annual Success Summit the weekend of July 27 in Newport Beach. The event, part of Gigi Hill's ongoing growth plans, will bring nearly 300 women to Orange County for three days of high-level training and sales recognition. The weekend will culminate with a fashion show providing an exclusive first-look preview of Gigi Hill's Fall 2012 collection.

The company was founded in 2006, after two women met on the sidelines of their daughters' soccer field and decided that there had to be a better bag for a mom's everyday life. Gabrielle DeSantis-Cummings and Monica Hillman joined forces and designed their first Gigi Hill bag to bridge the gap where fashion and function collide. Now, with more than 50 styles and 30 standout fabrics, the dazzling collection is best known for its innovative Signature Pocket DesignTM, offering a pocket for everything so busy women can stay organized on the go.

"Monica and I designed our first Gigi Hill bag literally sprawled out on her living room floor with the vision of creating something real women would want to carry not only for its functionality, but also for how great it looked," said DeSantis-Cummings, co-founder and CEO of Gigi Hill. "We worked with real women to test the bags, pick out fabrics and ensure every last detail was considered. Through all the effort, we came on to something wonderful and designed a line that women love. Since then, Gigi Hill has continued to grow both in sales and the size of our team."

The party plan direct sales company made its nationwide debut in 2009, growing an astronomical 900 percent by the end of that year. Since then, Gigi Hill has received a $3 million investment and today has more than 1,000 saleswomen - or "stylists" - throughout the United States.

DeSantis-Cummings continued, "The Gigi Hill Success Summit is a testament to our success and a much-deserved recognition for our entrepreneurial saleswomen that make this company what it is today. It's going to be a fun-filled weekend and we're thrilled to be hosting it beachside in our local community."

Gigi Hill plans to continue holding its Success Summits in Orange County over the coming years and, based on projected growth, expects to have between 1,000 and 2,000 attendees at future events. As it continues to expand, the company also invites interested individuals to join its team of fabulous stylists who benefit from setting their own schedules and determining their own earning potential.
