Nautical Flag Bags Arriving SOON!

The nautical flags that are used on boats and ships have an important meaning behind them besides looking nautical on clothing and home decor, they are used to display "code" for other ships that may be in distress or have a scuba diver on board. They have 26+different meanings depending on the color and the way the color is displayed on the flag itself. Pretty cool, huh?

Well, I'm using them in an accessory form. They will still be represented in a way that goes back to what they were originally used for BUT having them go by your first or last name. Preps are drawn to anything nautical, especially Maryland and anyone in the south, so why not add something super unique to your wardrobe with this little over the shoulder bag.

They are hand made out of duck canvas in colors that represent each flag and letter perfectly! The measurement of the bag is 8 x 8 which is the perfect size for a little wallet, keys, and your cell phone.

The shoulder strap is hand braided out of cotton roping to give the bag an even more nautical look! 

To hold the opening together, two braided ropes are used to tie the bag together so nothing of value falls out. 

The inside lining a cotton blue and white striped fabric to give the bag, if it wasn't nautical enough, an even more nautical feel. 

Best part about this bag? It's TOTALLY custom made! Each bag will take 1-3 weeks to make and be shipped out to it's new home. I know what you're thinking, why is this awesome bag taking so long to get to me?! Well, I want to make sure it is properly made with quality care before getting to you.

Release date:  May 10th, 2014

Price: $30

BUT if you message me on Etsy and mention this post, you will receive a special "pre-order" price now until the 10th! 

Stay hooked, the best is yet to come! 

Brown Paper Packages Tied with String

I seem to update my packaging a lot. Why, you may ask?! Well it's because I'm always thinking of new ideas to ship out my bow ties to make them even more unique then they already are. It's the first thing the customer sees before opening their tie. It needs to be eye catching but also not distract from the tie too.

Growing up on the waters of the Chesapeake Bay, steaming up crabs would be something that would happen throughout the summer. To help protect the picnic table before slamming away on the shells of the crab to get to the yummy/juicy meat, my family would always cover it with brown paper; covering the table would also come in handy through the cleaning up process.

My inspiration for my new packaging comes from my life style of being raised on steamed crabs.  Brown wrapping paper with natural bakers twine, sometimes we would use this twine to wrap chicken necks to catch crabs the old fashion way of getting them right from our piers.

I bought this adorable dachshund tape dispenser from Target and I can't get over how cute it is! Definitely reminds me of my little Pablo that my mother is taking care back home in Maryland.

Twine. 

I can't get enough of it! 

I'm really loving this packaging and the inspiration behind it too! 

Stay hooked, the best is yet to come!
