FAQs

  • Most fabrics are suitable for rework and more importantly are worth saving.

    Heavyweight fabrics, such as jackets, denim, tablecloths, & upholstery fabrics are perfect for handbags

    Medium-weight fabrics, such as linen and cotton work best for handbag linings and small accessories

    Lightweight or sheer fabrics such as chiffon or organza pair well for a handbag's contrasting, non-structural detail

    Stretch fabrics such as t-shirts and sweatshirts are not well-suited for handbags, but work excellently in laptop cases with some added padding. 

    Unfortunately, fast-fashion apparel is very often low quality & easily prone to damage so often ends up in landfill. At Gold Soul Design, quality, sustainability, and longevity hold great value. So, how are these two antithetical ideas reconciled? By using fast-fashion fabrics as filler in home decor pieces: the fabric is saved from landfill, but its lack of durability is no longer a concern in its new use. 

  • One of my first questions when quoting is always whether you have a deadline!

    Most projects can be completed in 1-2 weeks, but this can increase to 3-4 weeks in busy periods.

    I will let you know a timeframe, so you know when to expect your new piece!

  • Custom projects will vary, based on the amount of customization from an existing design.

    If your design is completely new, prices start at $60.

    For bespoke versions of existing designs, pricing is usually +20-50% on top of the standard pricing for that design.
