Kelly Moore Bag

Kelly: Anyway, we went somewhere to photograph, and I walked in, and someone had this bag...

Kimberly: That is crazy.

Kelly: ...in Chicago. I said, "I'm Kelly," and she's like, "Nice to meet you," I was like...

Kimberly: This Kelly.

Kelly: I'm like, "This Kelly." And she's like, "What?" I'm Kelly Moore Clark. I'm owner and creator of Kelly Moore Bag in Ruston, Louisiana. We graduated high school together.

Kimberly: We did.

Kelly: And really, every time we see each other, we do pick right up.

Kimberly: We do. It's like it never stopped.

Kelly: We just keep the conversation going.

Kimberly: Yes. When...how long have you...?

Kelly: We shipped our first bags January of 2010, so how long is that? And, I just thought the bags were gonna be a hobby. I thought I would make one and be like, "Hey, buy some bags," and in two months, we were sold out. Yeah, they finance my...

Kimberly: These...the inventory and anything that Kelly needs, we are there for her.

Kelly: Last year, we were doing some expanding and some rearranging in our company, and they were amazing to help us in that expansion. Relationship is everything, especially when you're dealing with money. You just want to see a person's face.

Kimberly: Yes, and...

Kelly: You want to know it's somebody you can trust. That's why we come to you. I like that I can walk in the door, sit at your desk, and talk, and know it's personal.

Kimberly: We always, at Origin Bank, we have that "every customer feels like they're the only customer" every time, and hopefully, when Kelly walks in, I hope she feels like she's my only customer...

Kelly: I do.

Kimberly: ...at the whole bank.

Kelly: I know I have to have at least an hour in my schedule, if I come to see you, because we have conversation for 57 minutes, business for three. You're like, "Okay, business, business."

Kimberly: Yes, we're like, "Two minutes, sign..."

Kelly: "Can you sign this, get it done? Okay, good."
