Bertie & Fred's

I have just undertaken a revamp of the branding for Bertie & Fred’s, to be honest, because I had completely lost my way with it by letting my GAD (general anxiety disorder – ooooh, that sounds fun!) get the better of me in my previous attempts, and being desperate to make things that made money, regardless of whether I enjoyed making them or if they were indicative of me or not. Note to all aspiring small business starters, this either doesn’t work or makes you completely miserable or both.

Note to self: “If I don’t like it/wear it/want it. I ain’t thinking about it/making it/selling it.”

Over the coming weeks I will start slamming this page full of glorious products for you to beautify your life with. I am a bohemian at heart, so all will have this flavour.

If you would like to join my mailing list, request a specific product to be made, find out a price for a personal project you would like me to consider, or just to say “hi!” please PM your email address. By doing so you will also be automatically notified of new products BEFORE they become available for general sale and also be awarded a one-off 10% discount voucher for use on your first purchase. Competitions and further savings vouchers will also become available throughout the course of the year. I will NEVER pass your email address on to any third parties and contact from me will be minimal unless discussing a specific project with you.

Thank you to all the local Exmothians who helped with the selection of the new branding, your input was invaluable. Thank you to my friends and family for continuing to believe in me….when, as you know, I find this very hard myself.
