Behind the Name: Debbie



Debbie Stitt is a shining example of how much adversity can polish a person. Her son Eric’s near-drowning accident at a friend’s pool in the mid-90s left him severely brain damaged. Then, six years later, he passed away. She struggled with self-confidence and felt she wasn’t good or smart enough. Facing impending layoffs, Debbie resigned rather than take a computer test to prove her competence.
“Not long after [this event] she found me and became a Miche [Representative]. she has learned to do the system now on her own, understands levels and can text and email,” writes her friend and Miche Advisor Sherry Roberts. She further relates that with the loss of her son, Debbie found hope in Miche and has blossomed as a result.
Sherry continues, “Debbie is my human butterfly . . . she spreads her wings each day . . . fluttering about finding her place in the world not only as a mother, wife, employee and Miche [Representative] but as a woman—an intelligent woman who can dream the once impossible dreams she never even knew she had.”
Thomas Carlyle once said, “Adversity is the diamond dust that Heaven polishes its jewels with.” As the muse behind the naming of this June 2013 release Miche Shell, Debbie is a true jewel of a woman and an inspiration to many.

Behind the Name: Marlena




It has been said that when all hell breaks loose, the people who stand by you without flinching are your family. When Marlena Kaufman and Amy Craft’s father, Guy Consentino’s world fell apart, they were there for him. Diagnosed with lung cancer in October 2011, Guy underwent chemotherapy with his two daughters by his side. Amy Craft and her younger sister Marlenawatched their father go from bad to worse. The chemo had weakened Guy’s heart, causing him to suffer a massive heart attack in March 2012. The doctors didn’t expect him to live through the night. The two daughters witnessed a miracle—he lived for nearly four more months.
During all this emotional tension Marlena was halfway through her first pregnancy and sending her husband Chris off to serve our country with the Army National Guard in Afghanistan. Amy writes of her sister, “She did what any strong woman would do: [she] worked full time managing a salon supplier and helped take care of our terminally-ill father, all while knowing her husband was going to leave before [their baby] Derek was born.”
Marlena’s successful C-section brought a healthy baby boy into the world on July 20, 2012. The next day, her father passed away.
Marlena was consoled and buoyed up by the return of her husband for a few weeks and then sent him back to Afghanistan. She continues to fearlessly push ahead. Amy writes, “As the one who introduced me to Miche bags about a year and a half ago, she is one trendy woman who has been through so much. This determination, caring and extremely blunt attitude is all packed into a 5-foot shell with flaming red hair!”
Marlena’s unflinching fortitude is our inspiration behind this Shell. We’re sure Guy would be proud.

Behind the Name: Jordan



The Slabacks wanted children. When the couple’s hopes seemed to be completely lost—along came Jordan.
“She is my first adoption miracle, my angel, the precious baby God gave to me and my husband when we thought we might never become parents,” writes Miche Representative Kami Slaback as she suggests her daughter’s name be considered as a Miche Shell design.
Now a charming little girl of five, Jordan brings her family joy every day.
Jordan is a sweet, fun, deliciously happy little girl who loves animals. She’ll kiss a frog or lizard just as soon as she will a puppy or kitten, but horses are her favorite! Jordan is just girly enough—she won’t fuss with hair bows and doesn’t care too much about shoes, but she beams and twirls when she wears a pretty dress,” explains Kami of her treasured daughter.
“That’s my girl!” We agree with you, Kami—she’s perfect.
The Jordan Shell for Demi was created with this delightful girl in mind. Kami states that Jordan is a big Miche fan, “Her favorite Shells are the brightly-colored ones: pink, purple, blue, and green. When I am about to purchase a new Petite Shell for her or my kit, I’ll ask her which one she likes. She makes me smile from ear to ear when she says, ‘I can’t decide. I want ALL of them!’”

4. Start with a caramel leather skirt, add a pretty white shirt and top it off with a sparkling multi-strand necklace in pale turquoise and purple.
