TRANSITIONS: Update about our Etsy Shop
Dearest Friends and Customers,
I can’t believe it has been almost 2 years since we launched our online shop here! It’s been a long journey to transition ourselves from Etsy to here.
So for the time being, we will be selling ONLY our FINAL SALE items there that are in low quantities. Examples are items of past collections that may have just 1 or a few sizes left. I usually offer these last items of its kind at 50-60% for the most part. Please check out the shop there and see if you can find a special piece you've had your eyes on for a while.
Thank you for helping us with this transition. Staying independent as a true artist and innovator is what is most important to me. To keep an Ecom shop totally independent, and off a global marketplace is hard to do in this day and age. So I greatly appreciate you continuing to support OM in it's own domain where I can stay true to my original business model. OM is an original, handmade slow fashion brand, which embraces my 4 key design elements: Form, Function, Beauty, and Strength, and was built from the ground up in California, USA.
To be very honest, Etsy's platform did help me launch me into the world, which I am so grateful for, however the changing times are reflected in how Etsy does business NOW. It is very different. The Etsy marketplace was originally truly supporting local, handmade artisans. Now, they allow makers from all over the world who are not truly making their own products, and are large scale mass producing overseas. This is especially hard for us to support when the platform now also recommends you shop with those companies as if they were small biz like us. There is so much more involved which I won't get into here, but know they all go against our core values.
Thank you for being you, and believing in me and OpalMoon's garments made of original designs, high quality fabrics, and expert craftsmanship. We've been in business for over 20 years because of YOU!
Namaste,
Kerrie Kordowski Fall
Owner, Designer, Creatrix
