I've been gone forever!

Alright so I haven't been the best at keeping up with my blog, but I'm trying to work on completing my HUGE pile of "to-dos".
So this post is just an update of what's been going on in the Rebecca office. First of all my luxury handbags have arrived from the factory and we will be taking our photo shoot in the coming weeks! I am extremely happy with the handbags and can't wait to post them on my website. Now unfortunately these designs will only be available on a "wait list order", because these are really for fall 2009 I'm not going to be offering them for individual purchase just yet. Wholesalers can feel free to order as many as you want, because of course we will have them available to you by fall 2009! Another exciting thing about these bags is that we will be going to our first official trade show to show them off!!
Alright the next exciting news is that we've joined the Esty.com crew! I kind of just stumbled upon it this summer and official signed up in October. A few days later I took the plunge and started my first Esty.com shop:) I've started out with wonderful success, and have found a ton of inspiration from other extremely talented artists!
So for now this is the news, I am continually working on my designs and can't wait to update you with the new photo shoot photos:)

Wink Elf

Tired of eBay, try Wink elf!


I happened to stubble upon the cutest auction site this pats month, it's called Wink elf! Specifically geared to moms this site carries adorable hair clips, art work, and clothing! After browsing around for awhile I found several goodies that are perfect for my little cousins, and even a few cute handbags for me! Each item on the site is required to be handmade, which means we're helping the independent designers out there.

So if you happen to be an independent designer or someone who wants to buy independent designer goods, check this site out! I decided I would try out the site for you, and give you the 411 on how it works. Now in may opinion (from a seller point of view), this site is wonderful meaning that unlike ebay you don't have to pay extra to have your item listed for 30 days! Alright I'm getting ahead of myself, so the first step is of course filling out all your information (just like every other site), pretty easy. Next you can start listing, what's even better is t you have the option to download your own html code. This way you can personalize your items, you can also personalize your shopping site on Wink elf. Alright after you download all the information about your item, you can list your asking price and list a range of prices people can bid on (i.e. my item is $40 I'll list the range of prices I will accept as $35-39.99).

Once your item is up you don't have to worry about it for 30 days, well you do have to keep an eye on it to see if people have bought it or not. What I really enjoy about this site is that it focuses on providing handmade items made by independent designers! I've had my bags up on the site for about 2 weeks now and have seen very positive results! So my new favorite site to constantly be on is Wink elf, check it out you won't be disappointed!

Trend Report for fall/winter 2009

Fall's just around the corner!
by:Rebecca
With summer quickly coming to an end, the smell of freshly sharpened pencils and spiced pumpkin pies are just around the corner. With the beautiful colors of the changing trees being the inspiration for many designers, we decided to focus our trend report on the "Fallen Colors" of the season.

Burnt Orange, Mustard Yellow, Spiced Brown, Scarlet Red, and Olive Green are just a few colors that can be seen for the fall/winter 2009 collections. In our trend report we focus on Burnt Orange, Mustard Yellow, and Scarlet Red. We absolutely love the colors for the season, just imagine bundling up in your sweater and pairing one of these accessories with your outfit! A few of our favorites for the season are the John Galliano Shoes (to DIE FOR!!) , the Rebecca Semi-precious stone Clutches, Ralph Lauren Boots, Moschino Gloves, and many more!

What's even better about these colors for the season is that they can easily roll into spring and summer! Unlike some crazy color combinations these work well together, mix and match is a must with these warm fall colors.
On another note, we would love to talk about why we love trend reports! Trend reports are incredibly useful to designers and consumers. They offer a sneak peek at what's to come for the next season. Designers of course will need trend reports that focus on several seasons to come, which is why they invest in companies that offer trend forecasting. Trend forecasting allows designers to create their collections for the next season (which is really 2 seasons away from what consumers buy). Consumers can view trend reports in magazines and on the Internet. The difference about our trend reports and those in magazine, is that we show the current, right off the runway, designs. Where as in the magazines they are showing designs that were on the runways 4-6 months earlier! It doesn't necessarily affect you per say, but if you want to know what colors, styles, and trends are going to be for the seasons to come check out our blog frequently to see new styles!

Helping Animals

Lending a helping hand to the humane society!

We have recently posted an auction on ebay where 15% of our sale will go to the Humane Society of the United States. This society not only helps domestic animals but also gives a helping hand to the wild ones!

We support those who give to protect, save, and find homes for these animals! We have also started to use Vegan leathers, these leathers were made without any harm to animals. With the environment struggling the way it is we felt that Rebecca could do its part to help the earth and the creatures that live in it!

Please check out the Humane Society of the United States
