Belly button cards.

Belly button is a company set up from Manchester that focus on hand craft unique cards for their customers. Their key selling point is that all the cards which they create have been handmade the designs of their cards is what truly stands out they work with painters, illustrators and textile workers to produce beautiful one of a kind pieces. Personalised cards where you add your own messages and choose the finishing touches cost around £8.00. Reproduced cards cost between roughly £3.00 - £4.00. I’m working on cards the same size as what the class as ‘large’ at 8inchs square. The way in which I am producing the sample I feel they would theoretically be sold at the same price as their personalised cards. By making a few changes though removing the actual material and scanning the fabric in and printing it onto fabric It could make the cards easier to reproduce and cheaper to sell. By also reducing the size I feel I would be able to produce the cards at a similar rate as their reproduced cards. I like the idea of the cards having the different layers to them in which they do now and I would want to keep the aspect to the but it would be whether people would be willing to pay the price.
