One more pre-sale?

I’m thinking of doing one more pre-saIe this month, but I’m only going to do it if I feel like there is enough interest to make it worthwhile. So if you would be seriously interested in getting a purse from me, please sign up for the waitlist HERE! You can also suggest colors/styles/features in the form if there is something in particular you were hoping for if I ever did this again.

I’ve been so hesitant to even float this idea because I feel like this ship has sailed and the knock-offs are so ubiquitous that my original idea doesn’t even feel all that novel anymore. But also, maybe enough time has passed since my last sale that there would be a sufficient amount of people who want an authentic bag to meet my manufacturer’s minimums. Maybe!! I’m just worried about being completely embarrassed, opening up pre-sales and then having to refund everyone when I don’t meet the goals…

But I also have this idea in my head that I want to see happen. For 2 years I have felt like these purses ruined my life. I know the actual purses didn’t - it was Temu and Amazon and Shein etc. - but the feeling of pride I had about designing something that I loved so much rotted into a festering hatred, and I couldn’t even stand to look at one of my bags for the last year. I’m still struggling to get back on my feet after the financial hit I took because of this mess, and I desperately want to go back to school and get my own apartment and get my life back on track. So I keep thinking (maybe in vain, we’ll see!) how BEAUTIFUL it would be if these purses that ruined my life a few years ago could save it now.

I just feel like that would be so lovely. So I’ve been thinking about one more pre-sale. And that’s how I got here today writing this.

I will be deciding *entirely* based on people signing up for the waitlist so please join the waitlist if you want to be part of a pre-sale! If I decide to do it, it will likely go live this month. And if you never hear about this from me again it means I didn’t get enough sign-ups and I am mortified and will never speak about the purses again as long as I live lol!
