A friend of ours was selling purses/bags on Esty. They were beautiful and well made, but not many sold because people have to find them. And you are competing with people all over the US and Canada. (Actually the entire world but don't believe too many people overseas will want to pay the postage.)
Not sure where you live in Alaska but made if you contacted a local store that sells local items may be very interested. One place in Oregon used to sell quillows made by a local quilter. She had several other items made by the local person.
