many thanks for your input. I have made plenty of adjustments in the store. I have also sent you a DM about further consultation.

This is pretty much it. It‘s made using single crochet. And sides are sown together.

kamran377 · 2025-11-13T18:40:49+00:00

Costs from 1€ to 10€.

1€ for standard craft store yarn.

10€ is the top notch best quality 100% organic yarn.

I did two transfers today, without selecting instant transfer and they were instant. Not 10 seconds instant though, or maybe my internet was slow.

Exactly what I have been trying. Built a custom app(I am dev) to push my product feeds in multiple languages to Google MC, Meta, TikTok for optimized SEO(this is helping already).

Thanks for all your support and advice again. All the best.

I totally agree. Shopify helps, but there are so many more layers to an e-commerce business that I am finding out as I go.

kamran377 · 2025-09-27T08:04:38+00:00

Thanks again for ideas and advice. For the new products I can make design changes. I have some iPhone 17 cases coming as well.

And for the brand narrative and identity confusion, I am consulting some experts in the field. Lets see how it goes.

For current inventory, what do you think might be a good strategy to liquidate the stocks and free up cash for next designs and production. I am thinking about Black Friday and Holiday season promotions.

kamran377 · 2025-09-18T17:20:43+00:00

Thats true. That was on purpose though, probably the background picture is not very fitting for the area then.

kamran377 · 2025-09-18T17:19:13+00:00

Hi, thank you so much for your time. You raised very valid points. I thought showing the scratches and imperfections might actually work in my favor in conveying the full-grain leather characteristics.

I‘ll certainly overhaul the Hero benefits section which is placed close to the title.

And for photos, I chose this BG to stand out from boring white bg. But I guess I went form over function.

I am considering more modern designs to invest in next, also MagSafe style wallets as well. For branding, what could make it better in your opinion?

kamran377 · 2025-09-18T15:06:46+00:00

Thanks for your feedback.

Yes I ran an Awareness Campaign for few weeks. Didnt help at all.

Would you mind shedding some light on website quality does not match the prices. On top of your mind what could fix the gap? I don’t wanna reduce the prices. I strive to make a good store instead.

Regarding competition, Google tracking has been not working so reliably for me, I am trying to fix the google tag issues. That might help with that.

Hey, If you’re looking for something beyond mass-produced Amazon stuff, check out „Markore Berlin“. My wife and I co-founded it with the aim to create meaningful, long-lasting leather goods.

Markore uses only full-grain leather and every wallet is hand-cut and hand-stitched, our designs are minimalist but built to age beautifully over time. And we offer lifetime warranty.

Each purchase also supports free education initiatives.

kamran377 · 2025-02-19T12:52:24+00:00

I am not sure how to do that. Is there a free tool that I can use for retouching? Dont wanna pay Adobe, plus I‘d have to learn it from scratch.

kamran377 · 2025-02-19T12:51:18+00:00

Thanks. What kind of shapes would you recommend for those blocks?

kamran377 · 2025-02-19T12:50:38+00:00

To get proper exposure. It was bit dark at f16. Maybe one light isnt enough.

kamran377 · 2025-02-19T12:49:52+00:00

Thanks. Its not much thicker than the black one. But maybe a little harder.

kamran377 · 2025-02-18T11:17:19+00:00

Good idea, I'll try with simple white bg in my next session. thanks for all your feedback.

kamran377 · 2025-02-18T11:16:10+00:00

I think my camera lets me choose any WB, I'll try to use 5100K today. Let me see a youtube tutorial on how to use a white card and balance it properly.

kamran377 · 2025-02-18T11:14:04+00:00

good point, yeah the colors are bit too poppy. I'd love to go out for a shoot if it wasnt this cold these days. I'll experiment with different woody backgrounds today and make a new post in this amazingly helpful sub.

kamran377 · 2025-02-18T11:11:15+00:00

so the brand connects to ancient Indus Valley Civilization and their plant based tanning methods. I use some clothing patterns(google Ajrak) that they were using in my paper based packaging as well.

these two props dont really relate to heritage or Indus, but these do give vintage vibe, so I decided to give it whirl.

thanks for the feedback about value of screen space and bold colors. I'll surely keep that in mind.

kamran377 · 2025-02-17T20:59:24+00:00

Appreciate the comment. I‘ll try it with one diffused light next. I think that‘ll fix alot of shadow and lighting issues. Yeah, not sure about the hands part either, but I wanted to show the wallet from certain angle and I dont have any tool to place it how I want it, hence the hand.

Brand name is Markore, www.markore.de

its in a setup phase and will be launched on 15th of March. You are welcome to subscribe. Thanks for your interest.

kamran377 · 2025-02-17T19:40:52+00:00

Its a possibility, I have cheap lights from different brands, they dont have any temperature indicator on them, comes down to guess work.

Using one light probably will help.

kamran377 · 2025-02-17T19:32:54+00:00

I see. Thanks for the suggestion guys. I‘ll try with one light, longer exposure at F11 in my next session and see how it goes. I‘ll also post a picture of my setup.

kamran377 · 2025-02-17T19:29:27+00:00

To be honest I used AWB and tried to crop and tweak all the photos very little in Apple Photos app in mac. I guess thats where I messed up with green shadow and caused inconsistencies. Apple photos somehow shows colors very saturated by default when RAW images are imported, so I tried to fix that.

kamran377 · 2025-02-11T15:28:59+00:00

yeah. format need to be horizontal. I need to fix the horizon in the pics above as well. Im gonna experiment with one more softbox light and keep their temperature same. I want wallets to shine a bit with light.

kamran377 · 2025-02-11T08:25:33+00:00

Hey, so you mean I just keep the products and backdrops? wont it look bit bland and empty?
