I work hard. And I'm proud of what I create.
I come up with all my own ideas and I draw and cut all my own patterns.
I try to keep all of my designs as one-off-originals, or at least VERY limited edition pieces. I only buy small quantities of print fabrics and I try out lots of different colour combinations.
I also try to make sure that all my products are of a high standard.
After all, it's my name on the tag.
I've been designing and selling my work at Salamanca Market for over seven years now.
I love interacting with customers.
I love it when people appreciate my work and give me positive feedback.
I love displaying my new batch of products. The stuff I've been working on that week.
What I don't love is when a nearby stallholder starts selling something almost identical. When that person had a good old sticky-beak through my rack only a few weeks ago and has now started copying my work.
That's just not cool.
I love your work. I purchased 2 of your items when I was in Tassie last time. I can't wait to come back & get more of your goods. My whole wardrobe would be FULL of your work if I lived closer ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm terribly sorry about this other person stealing your ideas, though! :( I know your items will prevail, because of the quality, caring and love that went into them!
NO WAY!!!!! To rude!!
ReplyDeleteThat's horrible! Can the market organisers take any action?
ReplyDeleteThanks Guys.
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate your comments...
Let's just wait and see what happens, I guess.
