CUSTOM ORDERS
We love CUSTOM ORDERS. It's fun to work with a customer, choosing designs, adapting designs according to customer needs, selecting fabrics and linings . . . . .
The CONVO'S fly back and forth accompanied by photos . . . .
And a final design is approved.
We create the bag or accessory and photo the finished product, listing it as a special order in our Etsy shop. Our bags are made in California and Minnesota. We each make certain bags, so when you request a custom order, you will work directly with the designer of that particular bag or accessory.
Here's a recent custom order:
Our customer contacted us on June 14. She liked our Lite - Wallet on a String, and wondered if we had some sunflower fabric that we could use to make a bag for her. Georgia replied and told her YES! We'd love to!
June 15 the customer sent us a link to a fabric she liked, and we dug through our stash to see what we had that was close. Found it! In Minnesota! Fabric was mailed (takes 2 days) to California. The customer then decided she'd like a second bag, and again, sent us a link to a fabric she liked from our shop.
June 16, Georgia suggested that our customer take a measurement to determine the exact length of the strap and that was incorporated into the bag. We can do that with custom orders.
The customer also requested a thicker cord and we were able to do that as well.
June 21 - Both bags finished, listed on Etsy, paid for by the customer.
June 22 - Bags shipped.
We are proud of our quick turn around time and fast shipping. The turn around on this bag was a little longer than Georgia's usual as she had to be out of town over the weekend for a wedding.
Please contact us with your ideas. We will be happy to work with you.
