Man purse or not, it's very classy and you've put something to good use that otherwise may have been thrown out or neglected. I say, Well done!!
You ought to consider making other bags or gear like this. Maybe a razor head cover like the ones Maggard and Fendrihan sell? http://www.fendrihan.com/images/OCT301DBL_Safety_razor_head_pouch.jpg Or the type for the whole razor, for travel? If I had sewing skills I'd probably make some of my own. I have one from Maggard that I use to indicate which razor has a blade in it at any given time.
That's actually a really clever idea. I constantly have to try to remember which one of my 20-something razors it was that I used last and that have a blade in it - especially since they are 50-50 DEs and SEs and I only shave every other day.
That looks easy enough, I don't know how much to sell for though. And would I just sell them on here or set up a whole etsy thing... Hmmm For the sleeve indicating which blade used last, what would you think the top should say to indicate this?
I actually used to work in a shoe cobbler and leather shop in my younger years, got pretty dang good at it. There's a shop 1 mile from my house that I've worked in helping out, and he's wanting to sell. So I am trying to figure out how to finance something like this. I know there's assistance but finding it is hard. Anyways if I get that shop with all its equipment and supplies I could churn this kinda stuff out easily. I love making things.
If it were me, I wouldn't put anything on top. Then you can leave it up to the user's discretion. I see the one on the Maggard site sells for about $3 (plus shipping) and the sheath for about $6... Both in leather. Hard to beat that price... BUT, I have seen others selling on Etsy and elsewhere for a lot more.
Gotcha The reason they can sell em so cheap is probably they are sourcing them from overseas and in bulk... For one of the top slide cases I would probably charge 10ish for it, with like 2 bucks shipping. I have tooling leather dies as well, I could monogram initials for extra charge or do fancy scrollwork around edges. For extra few bucks of course. But I would need to get the stuff first, getting ahead of myself lol
