Another Set Of Handbags And Accessories

[Craig]

Tealady, I'll have to design a bag for you, thanks for your nice comments!

 

[tealady]

You deserve nice comments!

 

[Craig]

And you deserve the Tealady T clutch!

 

[Meg]

ahh! that is too cool! Even though am not tea lady am enjoying a new take on a classic look. I never thought of something like that. I love when my fashion horizons are broadened. great work craig!

 

[tealady]

Wow, that is sooooooooo cool.

You are really amazing and you've got to get these designs to one of the big handbag houses. Really! Thanks for the Tealady T Clutch!!!

 

[Craig]

Thanks Tealady and mehq ( special bag coming soon ), I have sent my designs to some handbag companies as well as designers, as many as I could email to. I'm just going to wait and see what they think, one of them may like my ideas and give me a shot. I am up against some pretty stiff competition what with the talent emerging from the art colleges and fashion colleges, but I will remain resolute on this matter, if I need extra college tuition, maybe I could study part time. I would love to be instrumental in the fantastic bags of tomorrow, and I know they will be utterly gorgeous. Bags just keep getting more cool.

Thanks for the support everyone

Craig

i just got an email from a guy at a company called Bulaggi, I've seen their bags, they're very elegant.

he wrote this



What is the price per design?

I have no idea what to say I havn't really thought about pricing up my designs, or is this a standard question in the accessories business?

 

[tealady]

I can't answer your specific question but I suggest you get some help from a marketing specialist. Any of those in the house? I was going to suggest that you brush up on copyright law and keep track of what designs you send where. You're toooooo good!

 

[bleecker]

Congratulations Craig!

I'm not surprised you have interest in your bags. Just let me know when they go in to production- may I pretty please have the first bleecker? I'm so very greedy!

my jaw drops every time!!!!!


we got a superstar here and thats CRAIG our best designer...

please please pretty please with a cherry on top get them to be produced. i want one

 

[Craig]

I'm gradually getting responses from some of the companies I sent bag designs to. Most of them are giving me an address to send my CV and designs to. I tried a German brand called Picard, they said my work was exciting but they already have a set of designers. It's a start, maybe I'll get more replies today, I sent off to an awful lot of places. Thank you for all your helpful advice!

Meanwhile I better keep some of my designs to myself, I know what some of these companies are like! I guess it would be quite flattering to suddenly see one of my bags in Harrods or somewhere. At least I have all the originals.

I'm very new to this, I don't have particularly good business acumen, being more interested in the creative side. maybe I should team up with someone who's clued up with business! Where's my Tamara Mellon!!

take care guys

Craig

 

[Meg]

aww thanks craig! and good luck! As long as you keep pushing your bound to be successful especially because you have such a unique and great product! Wishing you continued success

 

[Craig]

Mehq, I'll design you a bag this week! I need to get some more ideas down in my portfolio...had a phone call from a representative at Karen Millen. She wants me to visit their design department pretty soon, I shall have to take all my Fashion Spot bags!

I'm soooo excited

It's getting the time off work to go there...oh I could throw a sickie!! I don't like doing that, though. I once threw a sickie and pretended I was ill with flu, it was very difficult to be authentic, I was slap bang in the middle of Camden Town, London, going for an interview. I just about got away with it!!

take care

Craig

 

[tealady]

Good for you! I knew someone would want your designs. As for taking the time off, if you have vacation, just ask for the day off. If they ask why, just say it's a special day for you. And it is!! Please, keep us posted!

 

[HBoogie]

Good luck, Craig!

 

[dgw]

Craig!
beautiful bags! If you ever have them made, let me know!

 

[shajopri]

You're a great artist! If you could collaborate with Louis Vuitton, what would those bags look like?

 

[Craig]

I wish I could work for LV, shajopri, working with Marc Jacobs would be brilliant! Thanks guys! Here's a set of lime green/grey bags inspired by Astrid.
