I make crochet hats, both ear flap and beanie hats, and am selling them in a shop this upcoming winter. I need some brainstorming ideas for a name for my little business. something catching and fresh, I'm a college student. Any ideas?

  3.      Instead of trying to think of a trendy name for *your shop*, then trying to get your shop "known", why not make *you, the designer* known instead?

         My question to you would be do YOU have a catchy name? I ask because these are original creations you are turning out. You can have small labels made relatively inexpensively to sew inside your items, thus labeling YOU the item's "official designer". Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs, etc. need only their NAME on their shops and stores. You could consider doing the same, or perhaps using your initials and your last name.

         Like you, I design/make a wide variety of hats, everything from elegant to hippy-chic to hip-hop, as well as funky sweaters, jewelry, etc. I opted to just go with my first two initials and my last name for my business as well as on my designs. It has worked out well.

          I don't know your name so for an example let's just make one up.. say it was something like Amanda Miller. Your Shop could be "Amanda Miller Originals" or "Amanda Miller Creations", or "A. Miller Designs "...etc. You get the idea.

         That way, when someone asks one of your customers, "Where did you get that hat?" they can say "Oh, it's an Amanda Miller, she's a local designer."

         One thing I have learned is people LOVE to own an "original" designer's piece, even from local designers. Get your name known and you can start to charge more for your original work. It has worked well for me.

    Just a humble suggestion. Good luck to you!

  4. why does the name matter. People are buying the hats based on the quality!!!! You couuld call them snugglekins, but really it doesn't matter one bit :)

    You could just put up a sign saying HAND KNITTED HATS


  5. Bella's Beanies

    Bella's Bonnets

    Bella's Brims


  6. I suggest you make up your own because some jerk could give you an idea then sue later besides draw inspiration from yourself you dont wan to have someone else's idea pasted on your business
