Who would have guessed that those boring gray seat belt straps would start a fashion trend? Dana and Melanie Harvey, a California couple, first dreamed up the idea of the seat belt purse in the late 1990s. While installing seat belts in a restored 1950 Buick, Melanie suggested Dana use the leftover material to make her a seat belt purse. Since then, the bags have become a huge business for the Harveys, who built a design studio in Santa Ana. By 2004, the company was a three million US dollar (USD) business.
