Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas of R&B group TLC says that her interest in designing handbags came about because of her son Tron,11: “My interest in handbags really stemmed from my love for my son. I have a girlfriend who takes pictures all the time. Whenever I think of taking photos, it represents work for me, but then I started thinking, I need more pictures of my son. When you’re out and about, people want to see pictures of your kid and sometimes a wallet photo just isn’t that great because it gets damaged and crumbled on the edges, but [now] you can put it on your bag. My bags are leather with nice color and textures.”

Chilli who many years ago parted ways with her son’s father,record producer Dallas Austin, was recently rumored to be dating CNN anchorman TJ Holmes. There were rumors that TJ was a married man when the two were dating but Chilli denies ever dating a married man: “I have a conscience; I could never do that. Besides, I want to get married and present a healthy wonderful relationship for myself and my 11-year-old son.”(Source)
