The Laughing House first Giveaway: Cash Budgeting Purse ($29.99)
Entry Period: 17 - 23 May

Cash Budgeting Purse (Khaki)
I've been wanting to do a blog giveaway for quite sometime, but never got around to really doing it. I've decided to stop procrastinating, & start off with my first giveaway this month ^^Our Long Accordian Purse has long been one of my shop's best-selling item, for all the practical reason. It's great as a cash budgeting purse, in trendy designer fabric, no more messy envelopes! It's totally cool, & tagged as "Cash Budgeting made TRENDY".
However, I seem to missed out tapping on a large group of very important people: the MEN ;)
Yea! Until a male customer requested this purse for his personal use, but in heavy weight material, & definitely non-floral/non-kawaiiii type prints, hehe...
With that, he asked for a few other modifications. He wanted it slightly smaller than our usual standard size, & have a snap button (instead of the magnets), increased the sections to 8 (from the usual 5), plus card slots, AND velcro attached to each dividers.
Now, these velcros has one side sewn on, while the other side is detachable. He wanted to use that detachable piece, glue (or sew on) a piece of paper/fabric, to put his tabs on (eg. groceries, gas, savings, entertainment,insurance, education etc...)
What a smart idea! I've had many customers asking me for tabs, but I'm not quite sure how to go around doing it, as I didnt want to limit it to simply those few tabs as different people r bound to have different needs for this Cash Budgeting Purse.
With this "blanks", you can easily fill it in with whatever suits you, & your lifestyle!
We made 2 pieces of this Cash Budgeting Purse (priced at $29.99), in dark brown, & khaki. My customer took the dark brown piece, & the khaki piece as shown above, will be given away to ONE lucky reader here! ;)

ReplyDeletekerincunningham@yahoo.com
My favorite fabric for a bible cover would be sunspots in turquoise! they're so bright and fun and would make the bible stand out among all the cluttered books on my bookshelf :)
ReplyDeletekerincunningham@yahoo.com
My favorite fabric for the foldable eco bag (another great design btw) is the Proud Peacock in Powder - I really love the blues here.
ReplyDeleteI would probably pick this option: Printed exterior + Plain interior, non padded, slim fold. ($22.99) so that it was nice and compact but brightly colored on the outside!

I definitely love the design of this cash budgeting purse, so my favorite design in your store is the similar Long Accordion Purse (in D.O.G Beige - because the whimsical print is cute.)
ReplyDeletethe_outsider01AThotmailDOTcom
I also like the Alice in Wonderland fabric for a bible cover. It's so cute and whimsical.
ReplyDeletethe_outsider01AThotmailDOTcom
I think the Dandelion (stone) would be a good fit for a eco bag because there is a nature theme in the print and the color of the bag is very practical for everyday use.
ReplyDeletethe_outsider01AThotmailDOTcom
I think there are so many stores (on and off etsy) that offer a non-padded eco-bag. That is why I choose the Printed exterior & interior, padded, fat roll, Reversible, eco bag.
ReplyDeletethe_outsider01AThotmailDOTcom
Aww,i love your Foldable Eco Bag (Japanese Pastels)!! And your Organizer Clutch Wristlets are so sweet!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance! Anna
