🛍️ Ditch the Stampede: Our Black Friday & Cyber Monday is a Handmade Celebration! (Yes, You Get 25% Off!)

The pumpkin spice is cooling, the sweaters are out, and the holiday season has officially arrived! It's a time for cozy moments, warm drinks, and—let's be honest—finding those perfect, thoughtful gifts without resorting to a full-contact sport at the mall.

This year, I’m thrilled to invite you to a different kind of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Forget the chaos, the endless ads, and the sea of identical, mass-produced things. Let’s celebrate the makers, the small businesses, and the pure joy of gifting something truly unique.

The Main Event:

🎉 Enjoy 25% off ALL items—sitewide, all weekend long! 🎉

Whether you're being a holiday hero by shopping early or finally treating yourself to that colorful bag you've been "thinking about" since September, this is the best time of the year to snag your favorites.

💖 The Rebel's Guide to Black Friday Shopping: Why Handmade Wins

Let's face it: Black Friday can feel like a high-stress sprint fueled by desperation and deep discounts on things you don't really need. I propose a different path.

When you choose a handmade item from Betsy Platt Originals, you're not just buying a bag—you’re voting for:

  • ✨ Heart & Soul: Every single stitch, every pocket placement, every zipper is designed and sewn by me, Betsy, right here in my studio. This isn't a factory line; it's a labor of love.

  • 🌈 The Uniqueness Factor: Our fabrics, our colors, and our combinations are intentionally joyful and one-of-a-kind. Say goodbye to blending in and hello to carrying a piece of art.

  • ☕ Connection Over Commerce: When you shop handmade, you’re not feeding a corporate giant. You’re supporting a dream, a creative spirit, and a real human being (me!). Thank you!

  • 🎁 The Meaningful Gift: A handcrafted gift is personal. It says, "I know you, and I took the time to find something as special as you are." It’s the opposite of a generic holiday panic buy.

Handmade pieces tell a story—and I’m eternally grateful to create pieces that become a beautiful part of yours.
