I made a bow tuck for my sister. When several of her co-workers asked her if I would make them one, I said I would for $75. I didn't get any orders. Imagine that!!!!(I set the price high on purpose because I really don't want to make them for other people.)

I know a lady that sells them for $50.00.

by my calculations, assuming I dont find the required materials on sale, it costs me about $45 for the materials:
fabric, fusible fleece, thread, buttons it all adds up.

I just sold one to a friend for $25 but she gave me $40. I will charge $50 if any one else wants one. :] Good Luck!

I make and sell handbags and clutches with a quilted bargello fabric outside and I don't charge less than 50 dollars for the smallest one. The last messenger bag I made, I sold for 275, but that included leather straps and bottom. My buyers don't bat an eye about the price.

I spent 250 on a mass-produced leather Coach bag.

I don't do these a lot, and I haven't sold enough to make a going concern out of it, but I also don't feel ripped off or like I'm getting 2.60/hour for my labor, either.

I also design the bags myself, if that makes any difference.
