'Diva' bags armed with attitude

They're quirky, cute, funky, sometimes a little catty, perhaps even mean-spirited — just like the teens and 'tweens they target.
The new "Diva" bags allow girls to display their attitude on their arms with Sunny Hawaii's newest addition: David & Goliath bags.
A cartoon dog warns people "Paws Off," a cutesy chick declares that "Chicks Rule," a smartly self-righteous graphic blares "It's all about me." Then there's the tote that touts the "Ex-Boyfriend," complete with a scratched-out photo of the ex.
Coming soon: "Goodbye Kitty," a takeoff on the precious "Hello Kitty" brand and "Eve L" (sound it out — you'll get it).
Sunny Hawaii's David & Goliath line is available in a variety of sizes, including cosmetic bags, train cases, prissy purses and totes. They sell for $16 to $48 at Shasa Emporium in Kahala Mall and Nell at the Fairmont Kea Lani in Wailea, Maui.
They're sure to be in other stores soon.
Sunny Hawaii is a Honolulu-based company owned by designer Cheryl Schaefer.
