Karen Pence is the current First Lady of Indiana, and could be America's next Second Lady – but before all that, she ran a business selling custom towel charms.

Called "That's My Towel!", Pence's business marketed itself as a "fun, environmentally-friendly, and inexpensive way to eliminate unnecessary laundry, make a statement with your unique charm, and solve the problem of 'Who took my towel?'"

The charm holders are intended to be attached to a towel to indicate their owner.

As of September 1, the business' website states it is "on hold" – presumably so Pence can help her husband, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, on the campaign trail for running mate Donald Trump.

While no detailed information about Pence's business is available, Gov. Pence claimed income of $1,000 or less from the business last year in financial disclosures required by the Federal Election Commission.
