I have resumed my handbag design business after having a family, and now make bespoke items instead of piling up stock and hoping to sell it.
I design and make personalised bags for brides, designing exactly what they request. This way, I only need to buy the materials for that specific item and am guaranteed to be paid for the bag that I make. A non-refundable deposit covers my admin cost and materials.
I have gained a more streamlined approach, which allows me to completely indulge my creativity and passion, while my client receives a truly unique and personal item. This is a very rewarding process for everyone concerned and makes sense from a business efficiency perspective as well.
Sophie Walker is the handbag designer at Sophorella
