Yikes! I just committed to do this year’s annual Fall Craft Festival
and now I need to create some new cute handbags for my inventory.  I
still have a handmade purse or two left from the spring show and need make a list
of everything I have on hand.  Some of the items I have left, like the
fabric lunch bags that I made way to many of, I will put on sale or in
a bargan bin.  One thing that I think will help me get organized is to
make a list of all the different styles to make so that each handmade
purse
will be one of a kind.  Once I decide on the styles, I will think
about features for each one that will make them functional as well as
cute handbags.  When making handbags, I use recycled materials to
create green handbags, which is one of the unique selling points I will
be using.  Wow, so much to think about. 

  • The marketing highlights:  unique, one of a kind, green handbags
  • The
    styles:  Organizer purse, crochet purse, drawstring purse, mesh purse,
    zipper purse, quilted purses, patchwork handbags, travel handbag,
    silver handbags, quilted backpack, drawstring backpacks, mini backpacks
    and silver evening bags are some of the styles I want to include.  If I
    have time and am up for the challenge, I may even try my hand at a
    felted purse or a clear backpack. 
  • The features:
    Different types of closures, magnetic, zippered, drawstring, snapped,
    tied or with a flap.  Other features will include the type of pocket,
    open at the top patch pockets on the inside and outside of the purse,
    zippered inside pocket, pockets with a ring attached to keep track of
    your keys; dividers inside the purse and maybe even some handbag
    charms.  

What style and features would you be interested in when thinking of a handmade purse?
