How could I not join in the fun that is Sew, Mama, Sew’s May Giveaway?
I’ d love some advice on my new etsy shop. So please help out by taking a look. Leave a comment here on any aspect of the shop that could use improvement: anything from shop design, to more products, to a colour of fabric you feel is missing, to… well, if I thought I could figure this out all on my own, I wouldn’t need to ask for advice! Alternatively, suggest a subject you’d like to read more about on the blog.
In return, I’m offering a prize of a gift voucher (30 USD, some of which can be used for shipping costs if you wish) to the store. This is enough to buy and ship a wrist wallet, or to get yourself one heck of a cheap new purse. Best comment gets the prize, and comments close midnight, May 31.

I love your walking the dog wrist wallet and your for the birds moleskin wallet. I think your shop is great. You could probably have more selection of your moleskin wallet. Some with reds and blue and browns. More traditional patterns. I love your pattern for the wallet.
May 27, 2009 at 5:41 pm
These are small things because I think your shop looks awesome.
A couple of the wrist wallet thumbnails don’t have the wrist wallet in them!
Your wrist wallets titles are clear from browsing your shop because they’re the first words, and I’d suggest doing the same with the notebook purses. From glancing at them from your shopfront you can’t tell that they’re more special than a regular clutch purse.
I think the pictures of the inside of the purses is great and might draw people in, so you might try editing your main picture by putting the outside and the inside shots side by side for the thumbnail?
Also, I’d add shop policies so people know what happens if they want a refund or something like that, or to know how long it’ll take to get to them.
Hope this helps!

Hi, Anne…I’m a brand new etsy shop owner myself, so you’re welcome to take or leave my advice.
I love your wrist wallet. It’s the neatest thing since sliced bread. It might help to add another photo of a gal pulling money our her key out of it…to get a better idea of how it works.
Your shop logo background is really cool, but it could use a font that draws you in, or a logo of your own. You have some really original ideas…you deserve a brand to go with them.
The clutch purse is also neat, but it needs something to make it different from every other clutch made by etsian Joes. Perhaps a handmade fabric brooch or another embellishment? Something funky. Maybe attaching a retro plastic charm or button…
Just small ideas for an already kickin’ shop. Best of luck to you and thank you so much for the giveaway!
May 28, 2009 at 5:35 am
Hi. Your wrist wallet is a really clever idea and looks really well made. I agree that an ‘action shot’ might be good to add.
The notebook purses also look good, so many dinky pockets! I don’t like pink so I’d always favour colour selections that are fun and bright, but *not* pink.
HTH.
Cheers,
AJ

Your wrist wallets are awesome!
Here’s my suggestions:
In your shop Appearance settings, change your shop title from the name to including what you make (this shows up in browser bars and when people bookmark you).
Also, you might want to feature images of your creations in your shop banner & avatar so people more clearly know what you do.
Your model photos are great, but make sure the wrist wallets are visible in the thumbnails.
You might do better with more variety available, particularly in fabrics. I’m not a designer snob about anything except for fabrics! Including some more popular fabric designers like Amy Butler, Heather Ross, Heather Bailey and Anna Maria Horner might get you some more search hits and some more shop attention.
You’ve already done the hardest part, coming up with unique ideas, the rest is all about getting noticed!
May 28, 2009 at 5:48 am
Love the moleskin wallets. I would say more of these in a variety of colors/fabrics. I like the fabrics you have but the more you have to choose from the more you are likely to sell.
Nice work!
May 28, 2009 at 7:00 am
Adore your wrist wallets! So clever and stylish. As a new Etsy owner myself, I really don’t have the expertise to comment, but I think the above posts had good ideas 🙂
Thanks for the giveaway.

May 28, 2009 at 7:11 am
Hmmm, I definitely think you need a few more products and I noticed that in some of the main pictures you don’t actually see the item for sale. I would suggest having closeups for all of the main pictures shown in the gallery. Great giveaway by the way!
May 28, 2009 at 7:31 am
Hiya,
Few points:
1. The dotty wrist wallet kinda blends in the with matching shirt in the thumbnail
2. A few of the others you can’t really see the wallets (as someone else mentioned I think)
Also, any chance you could include that lovely little dog in the giveaway too?!
May 28, 2009 at 7:33 am
Your etsy site looks good. I like the product photos, but I would like to see more color options for the items you make. For example, I loved the green wristlet, but I would like to see it in a blue print and maybe a black print. Actually I would love a dark brown or black print!
It seems that your color selection is very diversified, but they need to be unified somehow. For example, the girl in the black outfit doesn’t seem to match the images of the brightly colored wallets/purses. Does that make sense?
Beautiful product!
May 28, 2009 at 9:48 am
I checked out your shop and I think your wrist wallet is absolute genius! I have an etsy shop (very nearly empty at the moment), but I’ve found that items sell best when there is a wide variety of colors and prints to chose from. I hope that is helpful for you!
Thanks for participating in the giveaway!
Cheers,
Heather
May 28, 2009 at 9:57 am
Can’t really see anything that needs improvement, love all of your items!! I guess maybe more of everything would be great. :o)
May 28, 2009 at 11:42 am
visited your shop! and i gave it a thought. i decided that in your listings i liked the images of the products alone better than the images with the model (as pretty as she is). i think instead of having so much excess info in the pict you should just have an image of yr item wrapped around a wrist for the first, representative image. the model shot can be the second image. even the shot of the wrist wallet and matching shirt is too much. your item gets lost in all that chatter. just a wrist with the wrist wallet and a simple simple background.
i really like your portrait by the way! you look really cute and fun in it! good luck with your etsy shop!
May 28, 2009 at 11:49 am
The dog wrist wallet is absolutely brilliant!!!!
I think more fabrics would be good!
Also having the main photo as the wallet on the wrist (like in your custom made photo) so the buyer can straight away see what it is- the ones on the wood are hard to tell from the picture what they are.
May 28, 2009 at 11:55 am
so i’m not going to win best comment because i am never good at editing/proofing/critizing anything. i couldn’t find anything to improve on your shop! but i just wanted to say you have SUCH cute stuff! good luck!
May 28, 2009 at 12:16 pm
You items are so cute, and I love the idea of a wrist wallet. So much easier than lugging something big.
May 28, 2009 at 12:57 pm
I really like the wrist wallets. thanks for the great giveaway.
May 28, 2009 at 1:04 pm
ok, seriously, i love your shop! the wrist wallets in particular are so clever – cute AND practical? total win.
so honestly, i haven’t a clue about being a seller on etsy, but i do on the shopping front! it seems like the paw print is quite popular overall so i would suggest maybe marketing a set specifically for pet-walking (dogs, cats… ferrets?) to draw in the animal-lovers. maybe even an option to attach those (pardon) poo-bag holder thingies? (yeah, i’m an eloquent lady ;p)
i think the banner is nice, but it could be better. the fabrics that you use on your products are bright, cheerful and fun, so it’d be cool to see something equally playful there. (maybe it’s just the shadowing behind the font that drabs it a bit?)
as far as the variety in fabrics, i’m hopping on the same wagon and going to vote for more options. i would love to see some solid, really wearable choices like brown leather or creamy linens for the summer. granted this then takes away from the fun theme, but maybe if it’s a clearly listed fabric option, it would broaden the potential shopping crowd.
ps- you are so welcome to completely ignore my ramblings!
pps- thanks for the chance and i really do heart you shop lots!
May 28, 2009 at 1:25 pm
Very cute stuff! I love the idea of the wrist wallet – very handy!! I think your etsy store looks good – I thought that your banner was a bit shadowy, too – but then I figured out it makes your store name stick out more. I like your store announcement and your profile ifo – I really probably wouldn’t change a thing!!!
May 28, 2009 at 1:54 pm
I love the wrist wallets! Very clever. The moleskin covers are great too as they are the best notebooks ever! As for what to change or do, I think having a wider range of fabric for the wrist wallets would be good. I love the bright fun designs (particularly the Hungry Caterpillar), but to try to be fashionable, it would be nice to have a choice of some more muted or easily cordinating fabrics. Like a little middle to dark blues, or browns, and blacks. I really like what I saw. Thanks for the great giveaway!
May 28, 2009 at 2:03 pm
Your wrist wallet design is fantastic – I’ve never seen anything like it! I would introduce a wider range of fabrics. People love Amy Butler fabrics and Michael Miller is a big favorite of mine. I think solids would really appeal to the buyer who appreciates the genius design of the wrist wallet but is looking for a more subdued look that coordinates easily with clothing. I would love to see some dark denims or linens for summer with a cute patterned button or lining!
May 28, 2009 at 2:46 pm
I just opened my own etsy shop a few months ago with the help of a seasoned etsian and the best advice that she gave me is that you’ve got up to 5 photo spots–use them all. each item could use a shot of it by itself, from several angles on a non-distracting background (and, for instance with your wrist wallets, a shot of the back with the zipper open, a shot of it buttoned and maybe standing on end, and a shot of it laying flat, but maybe only showing the button end), and then maybe an action shot or two. and the first picture should be something close-up and eye-catching. I think her exact advice to me was, “think about whether you would see this photo in a front page treasury.” good luck with your shop! i love the eric carle wrist wallet! My shop isn’t perfect, but if you’d like to check it out, it’s at pidoodle.etsy.com
May 28, 2009 at 3:00 pm
May I register to win a wrist wallet? How neat! 🙂
May 28, 2009 at 3:05 pm
I stink at Etsy marketing myself so I don’t know how much help I’ll be. The only thing that really did strike me was that the Very Hungry Caterpillar wrist wallet (which is a cool idea in and of itself!) blends into the shirt in the picture and you can’t see it in the thumbnail/gallery picture almost at all.
May 28, 2009 at 3:06 pm
hi, I love both your wrist wallets and your notebook purses, they are both very clever ideas.
The only thing I can suggest is changing slightly the headings for the purses as I didn’t realise at first they were for holding notebooks (I’m not that familiar with moleskins). I ot all excited when I realised what they were! I have bookmarked your shop.
May 28, 2009 at 3:44 pm
I think your store is great? So keep on going like you are going! 🙂
May 28, 2009 at 4:46 pm
Sooo clever!
Ok, only a small suggestion. You need a BIT more variety in the shots you use as thumbnails? (I mean the pictures people see at first, I’m not talking about all the pictures you can see when you click on an item.) For example, on the left if I click on moleskin purses (which is what I would get for sure) you can see one that is half-open, and two that are closed. I would change the main thumbnails so that one is closed, one is half-open, and one is fully open. Same with the wrist wallets (CUTE idea).. have a bit more variety, more close-ups, some more random backgrounds, and definitely one example shot of stuff in the wallet as a thumbnail for one of them.
I suggest this because the way I browse etsy shops is by clicking on the categories on the left, and when items are variations of one thing, I like to get that overview of what the object is.. if that makes sense!
May 28, 2009 at 5:25 pm
A suggestion for some other fabrics: what about matryoshkas or toadstools? Otherwise, I love your fabric choices.
May 28, 2009 at 5:30 pm
I love your wrist wallets, but I especially like the moleskin purses. I love that they have pencil and paper inside. Great idea! I think you should think about adding more color/pattern opportunities. Or even offer a custom one where the buyer can tell you that they want birds or rabbits or something, then you can make it to their wants. That would be a nice idea!
May 28, 2009 at 7:48 pm
Your product line is gorgeous! Hmm how about offering smaller items under $20?
Please join my giveaway too!
May 28, 2009 at 9:10 pm
I love your shop. I’m especially taken with the for the birds moleskin wallets. I think it would make a great travel wallet too.
I agree with one of the other suggestions. I really love your header with that gorgeous pieced patchwork but it’s not really indicative of your work.
May 28, 2009 at 9:44 pm
I LOVE your wrist wallets! I could SO use one of these, because I often like to just GO somewhere without bringing a bag but then… where to put the key and stuff…?!
The only thing I’d love for you to add are some dressier versions. Maybe plain black? Maybe single coloured but with some fun sequin details? Maybe lacey? Maybe with pearl/fancy buttons? It’d be great to find a nice bracelet for party nights – one that doubles as a wallet! 😀
May 29, 2009 at 12:12 am
Hey there =)
I just had a good look at your shop. I love your colorful products! They immediately make you feel at home and in a good mood.
And the wrist wallets are so practical!
Keep up your great work!
May 29, 2009 at 12:23 am
I like the shop. The wrist wallets are terrific. Your “little birds” are fabulous, keep up with that line of thinking, it’s working! I don’t carry a notebook but I thing your design would work well for a small wallet/bag, with just enough room for a bill or two, a drivers’ license and a key. I frequently leave the handbag at home and stuff these things awkwardly in my pants’ pocket if running around to sports practice or a casual gathering. I second the call for “alternating” photos so folks spend more time exploring when they get to your shop.
May 29, 2009 at 12:39 am
Very nice shop! More items is always better. You have quite a variety of fabrics. Thanks for the opportunity!
May 29, 2009 at 1:09 am
I love your wrist wallets too! I cannot pick on a single thing about your store though as I am too chicken to do that myself yet! lol
May 29, 2009 at 1:34 am
Your shop is quite lovely,
Your product, unique!
Trendy wrist wallets
both form and function
Allowing me to carry my things
A bit like a sneak!
The concept is grand
and the prize is great!
I just hope I win since now I am late.
May 29, 2009 at 3:24 am
I love your products, they’re very innovative. The Moleskine wallet is particularly cool. What about adding a clip-on wristlet option? I could see carrying it around all by itself when I’m out an about, but wouldn’t want to hold it in my hands all the time. Being able to slip my wrist through it would be great.
May 29, 2009 at 5:24 am
I think your shop looks fabulous! I really love the hungry caterpillar moleskine wallet/purse.
May 29, 2009 at 5:35 am
Keep up the bright colors!
May 29, 2009 at 5:36 am
I love the patchwork, but I prefer a few more neutrals and solids mixed in.
May 29, 2009 at 5:40 am
My two cents is simple. Stick with wallets. Just find more that you can make. I am a wallet addict, and what girl doesn’t need one or two of them? So I’d say just find a few more patterns of different styles and go to town with it!
May 29, 2009 at 7:07 am
i plan on opening my own etsy shop soon, but don’t understand all the tricks, so i don’t know how to help with that one. you’ve got lots of bright colors that draw the eye and that’s always good.
i’d like to read more about the wedding dress on your blog (i actually commented on one of your posts first before looking at your esty shop and rules for this giveaway…)
May 29, 2009 at 7:20 am
I think that the wrist wallet is a really great idea. I notice that lots of the colors are bright and flashy. I would like to see them in a more subtle colors and maybe one for dress up too….with crystal buttons all the way around? The idea is really good!
May 29, 2009 at 7:48 am
I like your little moleskin purses best. You should mention whether they can fit a checkbook, because lots of people still carry those.
May 29, 2009 at 8:12 am
holy cannoli, batman! what a super wallet. i’m envisioning very hungry caterpillar food on my moleskin cover now (i love the cardboard ones)…
May 29, 2009 at 9:19 am
Everyone’s already said it, but true, your site header is really cute and appealing. More pix of the wallets “in action”, and please, more stuff! It’s all really cute, just would like to see more. And don’t lower your prices: things cost what they cost. I have found that when you up prices, things tend to sell more just as often as less.
Good luck to you!
May 29, 2009 at 10:08 am
I would probably say (And I do cringe when I say this because I know materials are expensive) that if you want more people to buy you need to offer lower priced items, but they are all so cute!
May 29, 2009 at 11:33 am
Cute wrist wallets.
You should probably outline your policies — if not on the home page, then on the policies page. Things like returns, using your own fabric, etc.
Maybe a fancy “going out” fabric or plain fabric with a very special button (like a cut glass or crystal) would be cool. Or how about some fabric-covered buttons?
May 29, 2009 at 12:26 pm
I think your products look great. I agree with more fabric options though, varying the colors, different designers. Other than that, people have already said so much. THanks for the giveaway.

I love your wrist wallet idea and you have done a great job. I think the site looks great!
May 29, 2009 at 2:50 pm
as everyone has mentioned here, your site header is damn cute! And ummm…more stuffs?
May 29, 2009 at 4:43 pm
I love all of the wrist wallets—so smart! I am really into many of the Japanese import fabrics, and I think the tiny, cutesy prints would look great with your wrist wallets. Also, Jay McCarroll’s line would be fun! I think fun, funky graphics on your fun, funky products would be awesome! Love the store!!
May 29, 2009 at 10:21 pm
great nd original creations !
I really love your For The Birds Moleskine Purse and its birdy fabric !
May 29, 2009 at 10:24 pm
i love love love your pops on color in your store! i am drawn in immediately! I think one thing I would change is to photograph the items more specifically. cut those cute girls out! at least for the thumbnail 🙂 Then you can have a whole cute girl shot in the item description but you gotta draw me in first, you know? you’re great!
May 30, 2009 at 12:12 am
You have MOleskin covers!!! Awesome! Both me and my husband (designers) love our moleskins, maybe adding some guy friendly moleskin covers too!! I know I would be checking them out!
May 30, 2009 at 12:59 am
Consistent image of the wrist wallet. Which I love by the way!
May 30, 2009 at 2:11 am
Beautiful shop! Some photos are a bit dark, though… maybe a white background would show them off better than the wood.
Love your things!!
May 30, 2009 at 2:32 am
What a fun picture you took of yourself. I think the colors are beautiful in your work. Really no advice. Besides I thought if you had 200 people come and comment on what needed to be changed, it might get you down. Your shop looks great.
May 30, 2009 at 3:42 am
offer more items! Love your stuff!
May 30, 2009 at 4:14 am
I think your shop looks great, so I’m going to give the tiniest possible suggestion.
In this description:
It’s finished with a bright self-covered button and a sleek invisible zip closes the secret pocket.
I think you should have a comma beteween ‘button’ and ‘and.’
(per The Associated Press Stylebook: When a conjunction such as and, but or for links two clauses that could stand alone as seperate sentences, use a comma before the conjuction in most cases: She was glad she had looked, for a man was approaching the house.)
May 30, 2009 at 5:49 am
I might be in the minority, but I like when Etsy shops have LOTS of stock to choose from. You have great fabrics, I love your stuff!
May 30, 2009 at 7:13 am
As far as suggestions for your etsy site (I haven’t read the other comments, so forgive me if this is repetitive) my first comment would be to add more inventory! The wrist wallet is very cute and clever. Perhaps add in some bigger bags or maybe even sets that include the wrist wallet, the purse/wallet, and a bag that all coordinates.
Love your profile pic, by the way.
Sign me up for the giveaway! krdickinson@grandecom.net

The photo for the denim wrist wallet doesn’t actually show the wallet, just the dog.

OMG… where did you get the very hungry caterpillar material?? I work with recycled fabrics… but I am also in Australia where it may not have been released yet!! I love your colours and style… wrist wallet is a great idea too… only yours are funkified… is that a word?? We’re having a give away too!!! YAY

I think your shops great – it’s probably me who needs advice on mine! 🙂
Please enter me in the draw, and don’t forget to enter mine. 🙂
May 30, 2009 at 2:52 pm
Wow, what pressure to be the “best comment.” I’d love some larger bags and notebook covers. It would be so cheery to have a brightly colored notebook!
May 30, 2009 at 11:23 pm
ok – i love this wrist wallet thing – how have i been living without this – why has no-one thought of this before {i need one for each outfit!}
now for the serious stuff re etsy shop:
i think it’s great there are just a couple wee details you could maybe consider like…
maybe your banner could be a photo of all your lovely wristlets spread out in a rainbow of beautiful colors – because it’s such a unique and quirky product that i think you should really highlight it!
& maybe you could have some that you could share with your friends like for example – maybe some with hand embroidery or a tag sewn in on the underside saying something like – best friend, or you make me smile – a real personal touch {but discreet} – making it the perfect gift item too!
x nadine
little lovelies
p.s. good luck with you shop and i will definetely be back to visit you blog again!
p.p.s. i just thought of something else – again with custom theme – some for kids with their phone numbers sewn inside for when they go to a sleepover or a school trip…or something! maybe this is a rubbish idea… oh well you never know!

May 30, 2009 at 11:24 pm
wow, people have left some awesome constructive feedback.I thin your shop looks great and would just ask for more yummy items to choose from!
May 31, 2009 at 12:51 am
I like your shop and like that you don’t use the same old fabric everyone seems to be featuring for their items.
LOVE the bright happy colors. I think a wrist wallet would be a perfect thing for my soon to be 8th grade daughter who does not like to carry a purse.
I also think the wrist wallet would be a great idea for an older person like my mother.
No purse to sit down somewhere and lose!
May 31, 2009 at 1:46 am
I love your stuff and your shop.
I love the wrist wallets and think maybe you could cater them to all ages with more variety in your fabrics.
The notebook clutches could have the opened up version as the primary photo so at a glance people can see how remarkable they are.
Other than that I love it all ..
ps here’s a cool place to visit to get extras to work on your etsy shop like bulk photo uploading and copying listings etc!
http://www.etsyhacks.com/
May 31, 2009 at 4:25 am
I think having 5 pictures on all your products would be a great idea. Even if they are not of the exact wallet/purse of the listing, something showing the inside, what fits inside, etc. is always handy. (plus a note saying it’s the item in the first picture that’s for sale or the like). I also like the pictures of the wrist wallet on someone as the feature picture. Gives me a better idea of what it is & scale.
Fun fabric choices and great ideas – best of luck with your shop!
May 31, 2009 at 11:06 am
Your wrist wallets are very clever and super cute! At first I thought they were just pretty cuffs. I like your fabrics and the details I can see on your products. I can also tell that you put a lot of time to have precision craftsmanship.
I like your header & banner, too! If I had stumbled upon your shop, I would have browsed around because of it.
Here’s the only suggestions I have: I was using a lot of different fabrics for my shop, but not necessarily the big name designers. My marketing adviser (aka my best bud with marketing experience!) recommended that I stock some items by big designers. People search by their names & it leads them to your shop.
Also, a lot of people include one of their products as their avatar. I absolutely adore your avatar and I don’t follow this advice myself, but I thought I’d pass it on.
Great shop overall! You’ve been hearted!
P.S. I’d really love your comments on my shop as well. I’m working on building it up. http://www.lalestyle.etsy.com
May 31, 2009 at 11:34 am
I just went to your Etsy shop – it’s great. Love the colours, love the moleskin wallet photos – nice and clear! Also love the banner – very cute & quirky!
May 31, 2009 at 12:20 pm
My advice would be to consider changing the outfit on the model wearing the black dress. The outfits seems a bit odd & takes away from the product. Also, in the photo with the dots, there are too many dots on dots. The wallet would look more interesting if the shirt was black rather than the same pattern.

May 31, 2009 at 2:40 pm
Congrats on getting the etsy front page! I love your wrist wallet–such a clever idea. I would just suggest that you make it available in more colorways or add some made out of fabric from popular designers. Good luck with your new shop and thanks for the giveaway!
May 31, 2009 at 4:27 pm
I love your wrist wallets! What a great idea. So much better than a standard fanny pack. we are supposed to be going to Ethiopia next year, and I need a wrist wallet for that. I guess you could add more photos and fabric examples in the Etsy shop. I think the photos you do have are great. It just took me a moment to figure out it wasn’t a bracelet 🙂
May 31, 2009 at 7:15 pm
I can’t think of any improvements needed and I have only just discovered your blog and am having a ball reading it.
May 31, 2009 at 9:12 pm
Your Etsy shop is quite lovely and I really like the idea of wrist wallets – I’ve never seen them before.
good luck with your shop 🙂
June 1, 2009 at 12:15 am
Hi! Your Etsy shop is great – I particularly like the photography, which is clear and appealing. I agree with others commenting above that the thumbnails aren’t so clear for the wrist wallets, but everything else looks fabulous (to my admittedly untrained eye).
June 1, 2009 at 1:10 am
Perhaps more items.
June 1, 2009 at 3:11 am
it’s really hard for me to critique anything-love all your designs! the wrist wallet is awesome! read through your blog-i think it’s great that you’re considering making your own wedding dress. i did 33 years ago and still remember how scared i was to ruin the material. my daughter wants me to make hers this year. gray tulle and very full skirted. we’ll see! thanks!!
June 1, 2009 at 5:07 am
Beautiful designs. I really love the For The Birds Moleskine Purse. I think introducing a bigger variety of fabric choices to your purses & wallets would be a great idea!
ugli.tangelo.fruit at gmail dot com
June 1, 2009 at 5:09 am
I checked out your site, and love everything. I think the wrist purse is particularly cool, though the Moleskine Purse is what I’d be most likely to buy. Great fabric choices, and fair prices. It looks like you’re pretty together from my end. 🙂

You could sell your patterns in your store. Also the wrist wallet I’d consider making in neutral colors for guys.
This is a great blog and shop, thank you so much for sharing!

I would just suggest putting up more pictures of different fabrics – either in the same listing or separate ones. I love the custom listing, but a lot of people seem to go for things that look pretty – which has a lot to do with fabric choices in those little square pictures.

I’m so blown away by the concept of the wrist wallet that I really have no suggestions, except to make more out of the fabrics that are available for custom & just give them their own listings. Um, wow. This is the very first giveaway where I’d actually buy the thing if I don’t win it (I’m an extra-broke student). I mean purses are all well and good, but I’m always so worried about putting them down!

I love your products! Your Wrist Wallets are genius and I love the idea of the Molkskine Purses. Hmm, as for suggestions I think maybe you should make what the product is the first thing listed in the title for the Molskine Purses, like you have the Wrist Wallets listed. Also, maybe more fabric choices? Ooh, maybe for your Wrist Wallets you could make some with things like lace trim or rhinestones to fancy them up? But really, I love, love your products, so I think you are on the right track!!

Thank you for the chance to win. Your shop looks wonderful. I love the wrist wallet idea. I would love to see more animal inspired designs in neutral colors. I loved the pawprint one you have listed.
Or even try one for boys. I think my son would love one in a train design??? A great place to store their money!

I love those wallets. I think that the shop could use a few more things, but less is better in most cases. I think that more neutral colors would sell too.
