Here's a little insight into the owner of Ickady Bag:
1. Tell us a little about yourself.
Hi. My name is Thiriya Ramingwong. I now live in Chiang Mai, the second big city, a beautiful northern province of Thailand. I grew up in Chiang Rai, a beautiful place to the north of Chiang Mai. I went to France two years ago to pursue my dream of studying dressmaking, but French was a bit too hard for me. :) I came back to Chiang Rai and started a one person business for making bags. I sold around one thousand bags in two years which was exciting. Then I got married and moved to Chiang Mai where I am now. My new family is truly amazing. They give me support in everything I do. My sister-in-law also inspires me to start an online shop on Etsy.
2. How did you become interested in creating?
I love handcrafting since I can remember. My mother had a business for selling handcraft supplies. That might be what got me into creating things. I love making clothes for my dolls when I was young. Doll clothes are not easy to find at that time, and my mom would not buy those things for me. So I made it myself. It was fun. I started making bags when I was in the University. I wanted to have new bags but I did not want to buy. So I made some for myself.
3. What is your inspiration?
I love to look at every source available. I looked through magazines for new ideas on bags. I looked at someone's bag when I walked pass them. When I had something in mind, I used Google to find the inspiration. I also love to draw when I get an idea. Etsy is a good place to look around to see what other people like.
4. What is your favorite piece you've made and why?
I have a few favorites. The first one is not a bag but it is a flower pin. The first bag I made for my Etsy shop is a simple pleated bag. So I thought of a way to decorate it, and I came up with a flower pin which now was given away with most of my bags. Customers like it. I think it makes bags more beautiful too. The second one is my ruffles laptop tote which I just sold the last one. It is functional and pretty. I love ruffles. I think I should do more. I love the bow bag too. :)
