What lies behind the price of a MaisonSoléia creation

For some people, the prices are not high enough. For others, on the contrary, they are far too expensive. So today, I want to simply explain to you what makes up the prices at MaisonSoléia.

Behind each bag, there is first and foremost the cost of raw materials. The t-shirt yarn I use is not among the cheapest materials on the market, and that is a deliberate choice. I chose quality, appearance, and durability, because that is what makes the difference in the final product.

There is also everything concerning the finishes, because every detail counts. The rings, labels, chains, and every small accessory that complete the creations, all represent a cost.

We don't necessarily think about it, but there is also the investment in my work equipment. My crochet hooks, needles, and all the necessary equipment to work... These are tools that wear out or sometimes break (haha, you learn with experience that a hook also has a quality, rest in peace my broken hooks!).

To this is added the creation time, which is often what we imagine the least. The crocheting time, the production time... Each piece is handmade, without any machine, only with my hands and a lot of patience.

There is also all the invisible work that is not seen when you receive your package: learning, experience, managing the micro-business, costs related to the website, as well as various taxes like Urssaf or payment fees. This is a daily reality when running your own business.

At MaisonSoléia, the price thus reflects the work, time, quality, and investment. Nothing more, nothing less. I hope this short article will help you better understand my approach, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart, you who support craftsmanship. 🤍
