Are any of you making bow tucks to sell? How much would you charge for the bow tucks and the mini bow tucks?

It depends on the length of handles --I make the full size Bow Tucks and charge $75 for one made with short (handbag length) handles and $80 for one made with shoulder straps.
I charge $50 for the mini Bow Tucks with shoulder straps.

They are purses and totes that are all the rage right now.

I sell mine for $38.00. It is reasonable for the time and materials, don't you think? I would charge more, but, people in this area won't pay any more than that with the economy in such a mess. But, all that being said, I don't have the overhead cost of a booth or space at a craft fair.

Thank you. Yours is lovely. It looks like it has a pocket and a zipper. Does it have stiffening? From the picture, it seems to be about 10X10. I'm not sure what the green "string" fabric is.

I gotta ask, what makes a "Bow Tuck" different from any other handmade fabric bag? How big are they, why are they called "Bow Tuck"? Can they be done in several sizes? Who out there is the expert and since several of you sell these gizmos, do you have more pics?
