October Already?

Yep, its right around the corner! SoChick Awareness items will be available starting Friday October 1st. These Pink and Pink Ribbon themed items will help to spread words of support and encouragement for Breast Cancer Awareness month. A percentage of the proceeds from the sale of these items will be donated to Susan G. Komen for the Cure at the end of October. Check out my website on Friday for the line of Totes, Travel Tumblers, and Accessories to help support the cause!

I WILL have a diaper bag on the site tonight or tomorrow; it all depends on my little baby, Natalie, really... she calls the shots. However, the wait will be worth it, it won't disappoint... a very pretty, feminine bag with loads of room. Can you tell I'm super excited about it!?

I typically like to post every Friday on my blog to wrap up the week and let you know whats in store for the following week... guess time slipped away last Friday... so there will be two posts this week. Hope the rest of your week is So Chick! See you Friday!

New Items

This week I launched SoChick's "Grab It!" line, which are ready-to-ship bags and accessories that I have made. Currently a few options are available and more inventory will be added weekly. The Perfectly Pleated Pouch has been a big seller!! This week I have SOLD OUT of the Pink/White Floral, which is wonderful! I still have a Pink/White color option available as well as Black/White and the Blue Blossom.

I also have two Daisy Bags for sale, both in the Blue Daisy patterned fabric, a favorite of mine, more colors will be available in the coming weeks.

On a final note, I WILL have a Diaper Bag photo on the site by the end of next week, I've been getting a lot of e-mails about it, sorry it has taken so long! :-)

Thanks for everyone's support!!

Have a wonderfully SoChick weekend!

Fall Fine Arts Festival in Oriental, NC

I will be at the Fall Fine Arts Festival in Oriental, NC on Saturday Sept. 11th. I will be helping out a friend and will not be selling products at the show, but I will be showcasing a Tote Bag and a NEW Accessory, a cute little Pleated Pouch. This Pouch will be the first addition to my Buy-It-Now line that I will be launching next week! Stay tuned!

Pictures will be posted after the festival!

GRAND OPENING Week and Such.

So far so good... the Website ( www.sochickhandbags.com ) had its Grand Opening on Wed Sept 1st. I am also on facebook. I'm very happy with the feedback so far and have some orders rolling in. "Like" the Facebook page to get updates on giveaways and new Buy It Now items as they become available. Also, be first to know when new fabrics are coming. I dont anticipate changing fabrics for the first few weeks until I see how inventory flows.

I will update this blog weekly as well, so feel free to comment or follow it to stay in-the-know!

Thanks to everyone that has helped promote SoChick on their facebook and word of mouth. Keep it up, I appreciate it!!!

Hope everyone enjoys their Labor Day weekend!

Almost Up and Running!

Exciting News!
I am now working So Chick! Full-Time. I am going to try to have my website up and running in the next week (I'm not super web-savvy so this is taking longer than I expected). Aside from that, licensing is complete and So Chick! is ready to go. I will post with official web launch info ASAP and am planning for a "Grand Opening" September 1st!

So Chick! Handbags & Embroidery offers quality handmade (by me) handbags, totes and diaper bags as well as Embroidered Gifts (i.e.: personalized travel mugs, koozies, baby items.) All items are high quality with affordability in mind. "So Chick... its the everyday chic."

As of now feel free to e-mail me: owner@sochickhandbags.com
If you have ordering questions: sales@sochickhandbags.com

*UPDATE*

The Holidays are busy, busy, busy. Among other things, I've been busy sewing, which is a good thing. The first few pages of my website have been put together, but other than that everything has been put on a back burner for now. My focus is on family and the holidays at the moment.... but just b/c its on a back burner doesn't mean the gas is turned off!! I plan on kicking things into high gear after the first of the year with a completed website launch in the early spring, along with a line of "Buy It Now!"items.

In the meantime, feed your curiosity with a sneak peak at the So Chick! Website: www.sochickhandbags.com

Comments are always welcome on the blog, hang in there with me and keep checking back!

Wishing you and yours a Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and Wonderful New Year!!
