Back then I had lots of inhibitions. What if people saw and copied my stuff? What if other people sold copies of my stuff? Then where would I stand in the monstrous world of fashion. If people got what I made from somewhere else preferably an outlet then I would be a nobody sitting at home and running a home-based business.
However, then it struck me. I just have to do what I do the best and not care. Everything does get copied eventually. I've heard famous names fight over who made a particular design first. There was something I had said to someone who asked somewhat of a similar question that putting my stuff online and on this blog means that I am putting myself in a spot where everything I make will get copied. Im giving easy access to people. My reply......"If these things get copied then more things will come up from where these have come InshAllah".
2 cousins, 2 friends, 5 Kolhapuris........love them for
their wacky idea to take this picture.

What's your email address?
Dp you make this sole thingy yourself too :S? or you just do the decorating work on it?
You can atleast get your copyrights protected online. there are many web sites providing you the free service. I have got from one for ma web too :)
A suggession plz add the archives at your blog :)
Xeb: Email me on either: disillusionedlife@hotmail.com
hera.k.accessories@hotmail.com
Reebz: No I just do the embellishments and the paint work if someone wants a painted sole as well like the orange one. The soles I get them from a certain place in bulk.
I can get copyrights for the pictures but I cant stop people from copying what I've made =(
Sure I'll add the archives......love ya
Oh i guessed that you must be getting those soles from some factory etc, but embellishment work is no doubt all in all!
I m dying for that bag i showed you i wishhhhhhh you could make it :D
Reebz: I know I too wish I could start on bags and clutches. And Im on the look out for someone who could help me out with that. Because with all the work with Kolhapuris and earrings. I need a helper to do other embroideries and stitching for me. Bags do take time. Or at first they will just like Kolhapuris did.
