I dreamed up this amazing new style the other day, and absolutely couldn't wait to share it with my awesome followers over on
Facebook. I knew I wanted it to be a new, limited edition, couture line, even though I had no idea what I wanted to call it, I posted some teaser pics and the response was huge, so it's a go!

| My first prototype for this fab new line! |
These lovelies will feature all sterling silver or gold-filled metal, so it won't be cheap! But it will be 100% customizable, with every word and color determined on a case-by-case basis. There will be two variations on each style, meaning, you can get a bracelet like the one above with a multitude of cotton and leather cords, or a more 'shi-shi' version made with a ton of sterling silver or gold filled chains. Something for everyone! I have been waiting and dreaming of the day when I could afford to invest in the supplies needed to make a line like this happen, and now is the time!

| This will be the "large" necklace design, this tag is HUGE and fits so many wonderful descriptives. (This one is obviously me, 'lush' and 'fangirl', come on!) |
My problem is, I can't for the life of me come up with a name for this line! It took me forever to name Spiffing Jewelry, and it will take me another forever to name this line, so I'm turning to you, wonderful fans! My brain keeps thinking of
Coach's Poppy line, how this staid, classic brand can make these fabulous, hot pink and multi-colored bags under a separate, more funky line.

Seriously, look at that tag on the front, do you think I was sub-consciously channeling Coach when I made that bracelet?? Awesome, I know. But I can't call this line of jewelry Poppy, I'll have Coach's lawyers on my ass with a cease and desist faster than you can say 'Hello Kitty'.
And that's where you come in, dear fans and wonderful customers! You get to name my new line! Because thus far, my ideas have been poop. (Not literally 'poop', but every name of a flower, Greek goddess, and anything else is so over-played and hackneyed, and my little brain is so full of design ideas, it can't conjure up much else.)
So, this is going to be a bit of a long contest, because I'm going to make sure everyone has plenty of time to brainstorm and share their best ideas, all the while I'll be making and posting teaser pics of new pieces for this fabulous line.
Here's how it will go down. Starting today, you can post on THIS blog post or comment on
this Facebook album with your ideas. As many as you can conjure, you have a month! (Contest ends midnight PST April 30th.)
I'll pick the name I love the best, and the winner will get his or her pick of a new piece from this line. Easy enough, right? I know you are damn excited! I am too!
So get to work, people!
I'll give it a try. How about: Annie's Artful Articulations Line

ReplyDeleteYou want something that's on-brand, easy to remember, will look great on packaging, and is easy to include as a "signature" on each piece (think logo).

I want to piggyback on Jason's idea of incorporating your already strong brand - - -
ReplyDeleteI particularly like the use of interesting adjectives to make them specifically personal. Like a mod take on a traditional "ID" bracelet.
What about Spiff ID?
