Article on Accessories Unlimited (AU), a 36-year-old Cornish handbag company founded by Chris Birchfield. In August, John Milburn bought AU from Birchfield, keeping her on as the company\u27s designer. Milburn\u27s plan for growth focuses on lining up new sales representatives in key markets and embarking on a new marketing and branding campaign to make the company better known to consumers. Milburn\u27s goal is to double the size of the company in five years. Birchfield meanwhile plans to focus on designing new products that fit within what she sees as AU\u27s niche: high-quality, high-end bags backed by a 100 percent repair or replacement guarantee
