Bags boost sales! (Or, at least, interest in my shop.)



Happy Monday!

I am pleased to report that two bags have been added to Wacky Wanita's YOUnique Boutique! And, as was the case last time purses made it into the shop, interest in the shop increased drastically in just 24 hours. Women like bags, I guess! Whodathunkit?



The first bag, my personal favorite, is this enormous handbag that I'm calling the Grace Kelly clutch. Now, it's a little bigger than your average clutch (fifteen inches long!), but it has no strap and is intended as a statement piece. I chose the name Grace Kelly because I think of Grace Kelly as being a woman of class who, like Audrey, is always "in," but is perhaps a little edgier than other actresses who have stood the test of time. I feel that this purse is a little vintage-y because of its size and material (wool), but it transcends the trends of an era and is very prominent. Like Grace Kelly.

The bag is one of a kind. As the listing explains, the material was limited, so although the pattern can be repeated, this exact model of the Grace Kelly clutch cannot be repeated, so whichever lucky lady ends up with this one can be the envy of all her friends.



The other bag, also a clutch, and also by the the artist of the first two Wacky Wanita purses, Heidi, is almost too small to call a clutch, so it will come up in Etsy searches as a wallet, as well. Its cream-and-off-white pattern make it perfect for a bridal affair, and we have enough material left to make a few matching pieces, if a customer wanted to give a set of them to her wedding party. Even more exciting? A larger version--with its own unique button design--is going to be released shortly, as well.

Still working on the greeting card set "'H' as in 'Hi.'" That will probably be the next thing to appear at WackyWanitaDesigns. It's very exciting. Can't wait to show it to you!

Thank you for stopping by!

Until next time,

Wanita
