Speaking with PEOPLE exclusively, Davidson said she got to choose which of Frankel's bags she wanted to customize — she landed on a emerald green one because it "served as a great backdrop to highlight the colorful Dubble Bubble wrappers and bright pink logo" — and broke down the re-design process.

Davidson worked on the accessory for about a month and kept the acrylic design under-wraps, so the finished result was "truly a surprise" for the reality star. "She was blown away by the end result and told me it was her favorite out of her whole collection," Davidson shared. "Bethenny was a dream client as she left the whole concept up to my discretion!"
