Hot New Spring Item: The Traveler Shoulder Bag

This spring I've decided to do some things differently. From illustrating scenarios in my product descriptions to including models faces in my photographs, I'm just tweaking some things to make some improvements to the Reclaimed Wreckage brand.  Some of the biggest include products in every price point, custom, one-of-a-kind clothing, and EVEN more jewelry. I'm also finding myself leaning more in forward, boxy-shaped, defined lines, and hardware accented handbags and extra-feminine clothing. We'll see how it goes. One of the greatest things about having a small brand is I can choose whatever the hell I want.

But anyways, the most recent of these new-price point items is my new Travel Bag made from blown rubber inner tubes. It's compact, crazy-durable, and can be wiped out with a wet towelette when your on the go. Its the perfect size to keep your passport, snacks, your wallet, and lipstick but not so heavy as to slow down the adventures you'll be experiencing.

-Measures 5.5" x 8" x 3"
-Machine wash. Lay flat to dry
-Made from blown rubber inner tubes
-Long rubber strap hangs 45" long to sit at the hip when worn on the shoulder or low at the waist when worn across the chest
-Unisex
-Vegan alternative to leather
-Handmade in the USA

I know what your thinking, "Lisa, this is awesome and cute and all, but how much is it?"

Well my friends, This one's for you. It's only $39.99

Developing inexpensive inventory

I've come to realize that one of the best ways to get higher sales at markets is to have a massive amount of inexpensive inventory. Items less than $20.00 are sure to sell faster since they can be bought on a whim while my $80.00 bags are still moving but appeal to more financially stable buyers who can fork out that kind of money unexpectadly. On my etsy shop, customers can see my products, add them as a favorite, and wait until their next paycheck to make their investment. When you go to market, you never know what your gunna see and what your gunna get.

Sooooo in my quest to create $1,000 in inventory under $25.00 by July 4th for my next big market, I've introduced some new designs to both my etsy shop and to my market booth.

The first is my Cassette Tape Wallets. I'm thinking about having an instructional page on how to make these cute wallets in the future or to add them to my book I'm working on.

The next is my bicycle tube belt complete with a silver reflector buckle. I have such a huge variety of these in the works. I'm cutrrently in the process of making about 20 that should be finished tomorrow.
