DIY Goth/Alt/Punk Purse Inventory

[@beautifulenigma1724]

100% keep thrifting as much as you (sanely) can! You upcycling things instead of getting brand new for everything would be a huge part of the appeal for me (and I'm sure others)! Too much fabric gets thrown out (there’s beaches where the floor is 5ft+ of discarded clothing, which is bonkers). Not everyone has to be a customer, so don’t worry about the people who won’t want reused stuff. There's def people who will appreciate your upcycled creations! Also - you might not want to put a lot of fabric/lace on the bottom of bags bc they’ll get mucked up - coating it with Scotchgard or something similar might be a good idea (just obv read what it can/can't be used on and test on small areas to make sure it's not going to mess it up)

[@qgrian]

You probably don't remember but I was the person who asked you for tips on diying bags! I'm so glad for this video cause I did end up costumizing mine but now I can see more inspo!!!! Thank you for another amazing vid 🖤

[@RattusRattus]

yay!!! so happy to hear that!

[@Sleepystardrops]

I dont think anyone will care about the items being thrifted, other than feeling neutral or positive about it. I think mostly people will just be happy to see hand made things at conventions and markets and stuff. At least that's been my experience art vending in bc. Your videos are making me so inspired to make some kawaii pastel thingssss

[@aliceswayer9979]

they all look so goood! also dw, the fact that these bags are upcycled i think is definetly part of the appeal

[@RattusRattus]

Yay! And Thanks ! I’m glad for the confirmation ❤️🥰❤️

[@sarahrussell741]

sorry I'm a few days late lol but ABSOLUTELY still use thrifted materials when you can! Both the bags themselves and all the decor elements. It keeps costs down for you, and as a customer I always look for brands that have sustainable practices (which is like... so few which is what got me into thrift/DIY in the first place). Plus your pieces will be even more unique and one of a kind vs if you bought only what stores carried.

[@RattusRattus]

Hell yes thank you !!!🥳🥰❤️

[@adrizumbi4126]

Omg. So happy you are on the journey of making bags to sell. Can’t wait to buy. You are so talented !!!! Love them all.

[@RattusRattus]

You’re too kind! Thank you so much for the support !! 🥰❤️

[@FaeryVoid]

I definitely agree with the other folks who are saying the upcycling is 100% a part of the appeal and for me thrifted materials are a selling point because it's so much more sustainable. I think if you were using all new materials it would almost feel artificial considering diying thrifted items is such an important aspect of punk and goth counterculture, I think maybe that nuance is something that your mother might be missing. Using thrifted materials and upcycling old items leads to something much more unique and one of a kind, I think what you're doing is great

[@ScoundrelChestnut]

please the Frankenstein upcycled fabric is such a rad and beautiful idea!!!! i adore it and honestly you're so right if i get a bag from you i will totally personalize it more!

[@dreampigeon333]

Thats amazing that youre following that dream Im so happy for you! I see the bags and fabrics being upcycled as a total plus honestly. Im trying to get to a point of majority of my closet being upcycled/diy.

[@RattusRattus]

Thank you so much! And thanks for the confirmation, that’s honestly very helpful! ❤️🥰

[@katio0]

i love the upcycling and mending idea, it gives item a whole story to it

[@toothmarked]

the attention to detail and the care you put into everything is insane!! i’ve been thinking of replacing my pins with patches on my bags (bc the pins keep falling off) and this gave me a ton of inspiration

[@kaydwinslow]

I want that purple bag so freaking bad I'm so excited for the drop!! Upcycle forever, we're happily paying for your art!

[@frankbeach]

These bags are great inspiration, cuz I'm making my own DIY red and black bag for a concert next month. Its a big deal because the artist all my embroidery is based on will probably actually see it and its a very exciting idea.

[@Z0mbieforens1cs]

Your videos genuinely inspire me so much, I actually made a jacket that was vampire themed while I was watching your vampire themed jacket video :3! Thank you so much for being an inspiration ^_^!!

[@RattusRattus]

That is so awesome, thank you so much!!!

[@stopbeingana-hole4151]

You are SO good at customizing. You inspire me to make my own personalized items.❤ I hope you get big in the alt community, they would 100% appreciate your thrifting and recycling. Also, for bringing a different store to the table for alt fashion. Bringing diversity. ❤️

[@StaceFaceKilluh36]

I love how unique each piece is. I truly appreciate when people collect charms and fabrics to reuse for future projects! Yes thrift! Also thank you for showing all the things you’ve made in detail. Guarantee all these creations are gonna get snatched up as soon as you post them for sale!

[@b1rdeee]

[@joesoswag2515]

Dibs on the first bag! While I do get inspired to do things myself, it is 1000% easier just to get it from you, I’m so so excited for that and for you. I don’t think you need it but good luck on your new business endeavors!

[@rachelbrantley6571]

I love them all ❤ love to always see your creations and you are so talented and inspiring to watch. 🖤 💫 loved the goth, punk and cute; they all look fantastic 😍

You're so talented! I can't wait for you to open your store. I would definitely buy any of your spooky creations, specially if they are jackets or sweaters, because those bags look so good! I can't imagine how wonderful the clothes will be. 😍🎃

[@cathygraham4609]

excellant job! love all of them. thats what keeps the passion and excitement going in a business. some new to create all the time. more fun than making multiples of the same design. cant wait for the grand opening!

[@Jadestar0500]

I’m obsessed with these Rabbit! Your creativity is inspiring me ♥️

[@RattusRattus]

I'm so glad! Thank you 🥰❤️❤️

[@caylarivera2804]

Wow these are beautiful, I am so exited that they are upcycled, it makes it that much more appealing that this fabric was saved from landfil ❤ these are the exact aesthetic I would go for if I had the time and energy to DIY my own. I would definitely love to support you and save myself some time by getting one of these when they are up for sale 🤩

[@RattusRattus]

Thank you so much! This means a lot

[@tstymctst]

These are all awesome, but I freaking love the band/Vamp bag!

[@moonflowerfaeriee]

Great bags, and I think you did a great job with them 😊. My favorites are the Beetlejuice and the one with purple. I actually prefer purple over red, so maybe you will consider doing a few more in that color in the future as well 😊.

[@nittygritty7034]

They're all fucking awesome!! You have a great set up for making patches I really hope you sell patches too!

[@ChangaBabe]

I know this video is older but i would absolutely buy a item from you that you got thrifted from you. It would make it even more appealing to me tbh

[@RattusRattus]

Awesome, good luck and enjoy!

[@Lonely_Raven_666]

I know a small business that upcycles thrifted clothes and theyre fairly successful. Well they dont do it as well as you do, the piece i bought for them is all crooked and the pattern isnt applied properly. So i guess you'll be even more successful!

You’re too sweet! Thank u sm!!

[@mynameisgremlin]

Omg! Hey! It's good to see new video from you darling! 💞 Maybe my question it's not related to topic of the video, but I want to start my own KZbin channel. Do you have some advices how to start, how to don't be shy in front of camera etc? God, I'm so obsessed over the first and second bag. 😳 Amazing work, they are gorgeous!

[@RattusRattus]

Ah thank you so much! I haven’t made a video myself, but I know Emily Boo made a great video about how to start as an alt KZbinr ! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJvPan6JibJqoK8si=AbFuzhbsbUuXxcWV I would watch that :-) in terms of not being nervous in front of the camera, it’s ok ! Everyone is nervous at first, and you will get less nervous the longer you do it, you can always try practice recording (film with the knowledge you will not upload, just to get comfy with the camera) but if I were you I’d just dive in and give it a go! I barely knew anything when I started (my first videos weren’t even filmed landscape mode 🤦) so you truly learn a lot as you go. Go for it! You might find you really enjoy it ❤️🥰

[@Doglover13391]

I always wanted to go goth or pastel goth because I like pink and black

[@darknesskittie]

I love your upcycled Designs but some of the your stiching for me is to big. The seams won´t last that long. Can I ask you have you tried sew your own purses? Some are really easy to make I´ve worked somewhere we sew ourses and backbacks from scratch. I hope to see more of projects in the future.

[@RattusRattus]

I tie knots as I sew between every few stitches so it tends to hold together in my experience … I have my personal bag that I’ve used pretty much every day for years now and it’s been holding together … but thank you for the advice :-) I prefer to use bags instead of making them from scratch but who knows what the future holds! Thanks for the comment :-) Edit: to clarify also for anyone concerned! The really huge embroidery hand stitching (for instance on the red and black laptop bag with the X on it) is only decorative, there is also machine stitching I used my machine for to hold everything in place underneath ! The hand stitching just adds color and texture :-)

My plan is to launch everything at once (website and all products) I’m currently still in inventory creation step , so there will be a lot of time before everything is created, photographed, posted, etc ! Minimum two months I’m thinking ? Maybe longer - we’ll see, I’m not really sure as this is my first time pursuing this :D TLDR: not sure yet, stay tuned!
