Just a thought!
Though it's obviously worth more because of the labor involved I doubt many people would want to pay much more than $100 maybe $150 for this, though there might be some who would pay more. If you do want to sell them I would figure out a price that is fair to you, which would probably be at least $200-$250 given what you have said about the time and materials cost and then offer them on commission for that price rather than pre-making and selling them on etsy where you might have it sitting for a while and not selling.
How much more would it cost in materials to make a larger one? People might balk less at the price if it were a larger purse. It shouldn't take much more time labor-wise to make a bigger one, and might actually be easier on some of the detailed areas
There are two reasons I kept it smaller. First, I personally don't need or want much space, and second, a full cube can become really large relatively quickly.
But I think offering them on commission will probably be the best option if I do decide to do this. If people would enjoy this as a two-panel messenger-bag type thing, that will not only be a lot easier to make but less expensive for them.
Thank you very much!
While a two panel tote/messenger bag wouldn't be quite as awesome as the actual cube, it would still be really cute and seems like a good option for people who like the look of this but cant afford to drop a couple hundred dollars on a bag.
If you decide to do commissions you can easily offer up both types of bags and even different size options so that definitely seems like the best way to go if you are going to sell them
