Butler Bag, just one of the ten patents and eight trademarks held by her
company, Jen Groover Production LLC. A harried mother of twin baby girls at
this point in her life, Groover turned a moment of panic - digging for a credit

hip - into a moment of inspiration: the creation of the Butler Bag, a sleek,
stylish, and compartmentalized handbag that offers women both form and
function.
