WHAT MAKES "CUSTOM", CUSTOM?


Several of you have wanted to buy an in-stock purse (which are to come as I collect more bags). So what's the difference between a custom purse & in-stock purse? When you send me YOUR empty coffee bags, the purse has already begun to be personalized. However, I go a step further and find out your favorite colors, favorite things...basically a little more about yourself so that I can find the perfect lining and purse handles to make your purse fit your personality.

That's why the "Java Cat Gift Card" purse is so unique....the recipient loves cats, coffee and was a Starbucks Barista so the purse is totally "her". Even the purse handles were black canvas to reflect her fun, tomboyish personality.

The Elvis purse had Elvis fabric lining and short, funky handles to fit a friend who loves all things retro.

I recently designed a custom purse for a friend made from a Starbucks Komodo dragon bag (below). The fabric lining had purple tones and more chinese dragon motifs to fit my friend's love for purple as well as her bold personality. Even the black canvas handles fit her laid back lifestyle.

This attention to detail is what makes the custom purses so popular and unique. The in-stock purses that I will eventually make, will be fun and unique but the bags, lining and handles will not be as customized. As a result, they will be offered at a lower price.

I look forward to your feedback and suggestions. Your input has already shaped and influenced the success of the business!
