Hi Kathleen,
Uploaded a new picture, i am going to give it a taffeta handle in same
colour as the purse itself, so that the highlight will stay at the
embroidery.

It has a gusset in the side, and gives place for many things.

I was just about to askwhen are you going to offer some of these up
for sale? That is your intention right? I think I remember you saying
you were trying to do some smaller items for saleI assume we can
commission you for something special as well?

Such a good point, Fran. Besides the issue of body control as a fashion

Basically, the bag is worth whatever people are willing to pay you for
it. Also, you can sometimes make more money selling to fewer people at
a higher price, than you can to more people at a lower price. I'd
certainly recommend that strategy for one-of-a-kind handmade items.

I guess it's all relative. I would not spend $100 on a bag because it's not
something I can afford right now.
However, for someone who regularly spends more money on things like this
(custom-made clothing or designer-name pieces)
I consider any thing hand made to be good value. $100 does not sound
expensive for the detail and work you put into the items you make. If it
took only 10 minutes to make, then I might think the price high. But as a
handcrafter, this took more than a few hours to make. With your expertise

Bjarne, I agree with Fran. This is beautifully conceived and beautifully

A superior mass produced leather purse would cost you $100 on up
here. Something of made with the quality of materials and your level of
craftsmanship should sell for that easily in the right market. If I had the
need (and the budget), I would not hesitate to buy for an instant.
There are designer leather purses that sell for $700 and up. And one
of the things their manufacturers are selling is uniqueness. They're
not one of a kind, but most people don't have them.
As for US taxes--Don't forget capital gains. Income tax includes more
