BTW – Pip Robins
I’m not sure how it’s possible to not like Pip Robins. Her unique & modern take on the cowl is too good to pass up. The fact that she incorporates the Handmade Trifecta as a part of her handmade business model makes her endeavors worthy of a deeper look.
There is so much to love about her shop setup on Bigcartel. Here are a few highlights:
-
You can’t go wrong with a really clean aesthetic. As you will see, she carries her refined color scheme right on over to her website and her blog. This kind of uniform branding is a must. It’s easy to maintain. As someone who’s been known to overdo it on the imagery, I feel this is a great reminder that simple is often better and usually best.
-
Pip is using the Block theme, one of the two that come with the Platinum, Diamond & Titanium plans. I’m a big fan of customization, but is her case, the theme works well and lets the focus stay on her great handmade creations.
-
Speaking of her creative genius, you just gotta love her images. The contract & the use of the black background is just phenomenal.
-
I also wanted to point out the obvious: selection, selection, selection! Offering a nice collection of items is a sure way to appeal to a broader audience. I like that she makes her inventive cowls for everyone: men, women & kids. No one is left out!
My favorite!
