    "Tweed by Tim Lamke" - sounds like how a designer would list it

    Within Tweed you have lines...Heritage, Legacy, Rebirth, etc...

    That's something else I've thought of. I really like the sound of legacy and heritage but they sound more like lines of product instead of a store to me. If I went with tweed life, then it would be something like this.

    The Heritage Collection, by Tweed Life. A wallet featuring 9 pockets, rugged tweed wool and satin lining materials, and hand stitching.


    I don't know. So confusing!

    I kind of like Life more than Living, the more I think about it. Living seems to convey more of like a home type of product. Think Martha Stewart Living. Bedding, kitchen stuff, furniture etc. Whereas Life refers to a lifestyle. Like I love Tweed and this is my lifestyle! Tweed everything! Lol

    Thanks to those who gave their opinions. Good stuff.

    ...keep an eye out for small Houndstooth, like half-inch or less.

    Brainstorming.

    I see more herringbone than houndstooth. But I could find some if you're needing something made!

    +1 Denver hipsters would trade their last tallboy of PBR just to find out how to get one.

    Add Brooklyn to your list and you got it.

    Edit: if you are new to thread, I own two of Tim's bags and live in CO. No hating going on...

    How about something completely different and go for a 0ne-word name as the overall company name - that's a bit quirky, unique but still eludes to what the product is - and allows you to create a logo that ties into the company name?

    Something that (and excuse my VERY limited photoshop skills) plays on the popular Herrinbone pattern;

    Or combine Tweet and Upcycling and call your business "UpTweed"

    Tim,

    You make some really unique and inspiring bags and wallets! Very nice work!

    I think you have some great names here to choose from. Here is something else to consider. One thing that sells a product to me is the story behind it. I'm a sucker for brands that paint a picture in my mind of how the product is used and has actually stood the test of time. I'm willing to pay more for good quality, so I like to know how products are built and what they can withstand. To me, that's even more important than the product name, and I realize that often involves clever marketing. An example that comes to mind is Saddleback Leather. Just my two cents, and I know you'll get many different opinions here.

    I eagerly await to hear which name you decide to use. :)
