Mipi the Label

New blossom phone cords online! 🌷 Here are some of my favorites. Would almost keep them all to myself. Now on to the new winter collection ✂️

Warning: rant incoming 😂
I really love having a business where I get to share my creations, however one thing I could do without is puting a price on those creations. I cannot tell you how much I hate it and how difficult I personally find it to be.

Most of us have probably seen at least 1 cute real about pricing handmade goods where the general message is: ‘if you think the price is too high, it is not in your budget and that’s okay’. But this is so much easier said than done!

I constantly worry about wether my prices are too high, or too low. If what I am doing is right. Sometimes I receive messages of people asking for a discount, which I understand. And I think this all comes down to fast fashion and the underlying issue of how we all undervalue the products that we buy and the hands that made them.

Slow fashion then enters and seems like a wonderful solution to all our problems. But it really is not that simple. Because how can small businesses compete with them?

I also want to touch on the topic of affordability. I really care about my customers and just want to make everybody happy and I want everybody to be able to afford my products. But this has come at my own cost. Ofcourse you have all noticed that prices are rising everywhere and the wages have *practically* stayed the same. This is all just adding fire to the fuel of small businesses and pricing.

One thing that I like about Mipi is that this is not only a place to share my creations, but also a place to share behind the scenes. I want to share the beautiful and the ugly side of all of this. And also it’s just a one-women-show over here and I have feelings 🥴

Anyways, I’ve started capturing some of my days on video and will upload them to youtube eventually. For anyone that would enjoy/learn from my experience.
