What do you design: Children’s clothes and accessories

1.) Do you design for what you like, or what you think your customers will like?
I would say both. I like to create what customers like with my own touch. My designs are according to ages also, if I create an outfit for a 1 or 2 year old girl, it is going to be girly, cute, comfortable, and for older ages I like colors, contrasts, a little bit more sophisticated and for boys I like comfort and colors.

2.) What did you do before you started selling on eBay?
A lot of things, first I was a bilingual secretary, then a full time mom, I went into clay, jewelry and bows business with a friend at this time of my life, then I started to paint, and it became my passion, and I started to paint murals in houses, then my husband started his own export/import business and I helped him, and I am still helping him but part time only.

3.) Do you have a Signature item?
Not really. I love creating different things in different styles that is why I didn’t make my signature item yet.

4.) What was the first boutique item you ever sold on ebay, and how much did it sell for?
I remember it was a dog sweater. A friend of mine loves crocheting and we started to make sweaters for our dogs, it was very chilly at that time, and my daughter kept telling us to sell those on Ebay, well, that is how I started selling on Ebay. The first sweater sold for $15.00.

5.) What do you like to do when you’re not designing?
Sleep! I like to sleep. I love working, and I don’t get to sleep enough hours in a day, so that is what I like when I am not designing. By the way, I barely get this chance.
