roma's mission statement
I'm working on refocusing roma (because I have creative thoughts flying in all directions!) and decided to come up with a mission statement. Here it is, what do you think?
Roma bags offer the opportunity of participating in an environmental revival.
We believe that waste can be reborn into beauty with a purpose in life.
Roma develops handcrafted products from the waste of the community, with the philosophy that waste can be reproduced into a functional item of beauty.

original roma poster
This is a poster I made my junior year of college when I first started making roma bags. I printed off the photos I took of my roommates (what good sports they were!) wearing my bags. I drew on tracing paper, and sewed them all onto a piece of vinyl. Sort of messy but fun! It's neat to look back and reflect on roma, where it's been and where it's going.

i need a new hang tag design
Here is my old hang tag. I did the graphics and printed them myself. They are mini books, if you open them up there is this story:
"This bag began as a discarded unloved scrap of car vinyl left to collect dust. Its beauty was ignored, until now. Roma bags are handcrafted and designed from reclaimed car vinyl. Each bag is unique, one of a kind with its own story to tell"I also added stitching to the edge. I'm pretty sure it's time to redesign this tag. I'm thinking something simple that doesn't compete against the colors and design of each item, affordable and unique. I got some ideas with shipping tags and stamps. I'm excited to start exploring this to see what I come up with!

oh hello friend, DIY business cards
Danni at oh, hello friend is the master at packaging and graphics. I found these business cards that she made for Alt this winter. I love that it's a package deal with a business card, tack and wooden balloon detail. See does such a great job at paying attention to every detail. See more pictures here.

business cards
I need to redesign my Roma business card. I have about 200 left over from a few years ago that I got made at Vista Prints. Vista did a great job but this time around, I'm looking for something more crafty. I am also going to need a hang tag, which I am still deciding on if the business card could do both. While I figure these things out, I'm just going to do a bit of inspiration research to see what others are doing with their business cards.
c.r.a.f.t. handmade these out of cereal boxes. I love the stamp, stitching and reusing the boxes. Realistically though, I think that would be too time consuming for me, but this is a great idea!
I love the pop stitching of the card behind 100 layer cake. It's from ready go, but this images if from oh, hello friend.
I love the simplicity of this card, complimented by the stitching and fabric. From Ruthi Auda
I realized all of these card are very similar...stitching, stamps, and brownish backgrounds. oops. I'll keep looking for more ideas.

labels
Below is my old label. I ordered a stamp and would either stamp it on the interiors or stamp it on extra material and then sew it on. I feel like I need something new, something fresh, unique, and sustainable. I did some research and found these. I enjoy the simplicity of them and the ease of sewing them on to the product.
My old Roma label.
JennyN designs leather bags that are simple and elegant. Here is her label she sews into the interiors of her bags.
I love Scout&Catalogue! I love the jewels (the wing) that she sews into most of her pieces.
I like the side stitching on this tag from Forest Bound. It would be fun to add some color with the stitching to a label like this.
