@ChasnotRobert Yea there’s the name I’m using on the insta, which is fine, and I have started sewing in name labels. It’s not in every item yet (will explain another time), but some are going out with the name labels now. The labels are actually clothes name labels left over from school 20 years ago, which has been kinda funny for me to use. I’ll likely continue with them.
@AlexD yea for sure. At the moment, especially for all the lfgss crew, I’m really doing everything at cost, because you guys are my test pilots.
We’re now reaching the end of a whole year since I started this project, but 6-8 months of time actually spent on it due to personal life stuff. Within 6 months (my ‘full year’) I aim to have a solid business model if this is an actually sustainable project. I should know by the summer. If it’s working and an online sales platform/VAT/business registration etc happens, the price will certainly reflect that.

Well it sounds like you’re much more on it than me. A while back I was doing some on-going work for a small publishing firm. They were lovely to work with and because they were small, I felt like it was fine to be taking a pretty low day-rate. After a while I figured out that yes, they were a small company, but I was smaller so if anyone should be expecting charity in that relationship it was me :-)

Yes, I think so.
Choose a nice, slightly abstract name, get some cool little labels to sew in, put prices up by 60%.
Maybe offer free UK postage after the 60% price increase as people don't like paying for postage these days. That's consumer logic for you...
