Jeg har for nylig gjorde en kronik her på sitet om Dolce & Gabbana hæklet. Et af punkterne i denne artikel, der har fået en masse opmærksomhed er Miss Sicilien hæklede taske.

Jeg tror, ​​at folk er så interesseret i denne taske, fordi det ser meget mere som den konventionelle, snu hæklet, at vi alle er vant til at se fra håndlavede designere og alligevel det er prissat til at sælge til Neiman Marcus for næsten $3000.

Så jeg spørger dig … Hvis du skulle lave en lignende hæklet håndtaske i hånden for at sælge på Etsy eller på et lokalt håndværk fair, hvad ville du oplade det? Dimensionerne er 10″H x 14″W x 7″D; og det er en foret taske med indvendig åben lomme og lynlås.

It's fascinating and somewhat infuriating how much people are willing to pay for something handmade IF it has a famous fashion designer's name on it.... My husband was asking how much I might be able to charge for one of the Bags I'm designing for the Fresh Designs Bag book, "made by the designer, with hand-dyed yarn..." Unfortunately I still don't think it would be worth the cost of materials + a decent wage for the time invested.

It's really not fair that Fashion Designers can put outrageous prices on something they didn't even make themselves when the average crocheter is lucky to sell their finished items for 2 eller 3 times the cost of the materials, let alone a decent hourly wage. That's one of the reasons I switched to trying to sell my designs rather than finished items.

@laurindar3 Great points! I actually don't have a problem with the fact that designer brands make so much money. It's absurd to me as a consumer because I wouldn't pay that much for one item but at the same time I think there's a market for everything. The people who are going to buy designer aren't the same market as those buying handmade.

The one thing I do worry about is whether or not big brands (regardless of whether or not they are designer) are paying their crocheters a fair wage. Faktisk, in that respect, I'd much rather pay a fortune for a designer crochet bag than one from a cheap chain because there's a better chance that it's not sweatshop labor.

It is too bad for sure that it's hard to make a living as an artisan these days but it does force us to be more creative to make products (bøger, mønstre, etc.) that are unique to the market. So there are two sides but I definitely hear ya!

I would change up the colors some, maybe make the Squares more Granny like.. Heck if someone paid me that kinda money I would make it any color or style they wanted if truth be known......
