| Faery Blessings to you all this evening!
I have a wonderful assortment of Capes and Cloaks available from my Faery Mumsie. These are all created in a smoke-free home, and each is one of a kind....you will NEVER find another cape like these anywhere.
First off, we have the ROISIN CLOAK. Named for the lovely rosy-burgundy colour of the fuzzy fabric, this is a knee-length cloak that should fit an adult from size 2 to 2X. The hood is lined, and it is a warm cloak, but still thin enough to be comfortable on a cool summer's evening. This cloak is being sold at the low price of $65, plus shipping fees.
Here are some photos to give you a good idea of how it looks on:
And here is a closeup of the lovely fuzzy fabric:
Second is the WOOD ELF CAPELETTE. This is a short cape with no hood. It is made of a super-soft ecru coloured fleece. This should fit an adult from a size 2 to a size 1X, and is fabulous as a full length cape for a child from 5 years and up. This is a one of a kind capelette, with detail stitches in dark brown for a rustic woodsy look. This cape is going for $30, plus shipping fees.
Here are some photos to give you a good idea of how it looks on:
And a closeup of the stitching around the edges:
The third cloak is the EARTH & SKY CLOAK. It is made from a very cool paisley in shades of brown and blue. This cloak is FULLY lined, with a deep hood. It will fit an adult from a size 2 to a 2X. The heavy fabric of this cloak is guaranteed to keep you warm on a cold winter's evening, and is perfect for any festival or night out. The cloak is secured at the front with a tab made of the fabric, and two super-strong brass coloured snaps. This cloak is going for the low price of $150, plus shipping fees.

The last cloak that is available is the AUTUMN CLOAK. This is made from a lovely rust coloured ultra-suede. The hood is deep and lined, and the inside of the cloak is the silky side of the fabric. The closure is three heavy duty brass coloured snaps. The Autumn Cloak should fit adults size 2 to 2X. A bonus with this cloak is the purse included! Not only can you wear this over the shoulder, but it has a slot on the back so you can slip it through your belt. The combination of Autumn Cloak and purse is a low price of $100, plus shipping fees.
Here are some pictures so you get a good idea of how it looks on:

You totally can. I've worked in a higher end clothing store for years now and theres this mindset in customers that when something costs more its suddenly more special. For example we had these earrings that were $9. They never sold until one day an employee marked some new ones at $19, then suddenly they were flying off the shelves. For something like your cloaks I think a higher price will get across the fact that they're handmade, one of a kind ect. ect. Hey, why sell yourself short? |

| Thanks everyone! We try to keep prices low, because shipping can get pretty high (with the weight of the fabric). My mumsie is great at making cloaks and stuff, but worries about putting prices too high (I'm the same with my wings and stuff...LOL).
And Plats, we are thinking about getting an Etsy account. Just need to use the man's credit card for it. LOL. I'll be sure to message you for Etsy Tips.  _________________

| | man, if not for a recent incidental which requires quite a bit of money... as well as my not having some sort of account to buy things over the net with... as well as the conversion from American dollar to Australian dollar... I would totally be all over the small white cloak!! haha. Hopefully you're still making these when I do have money... and some sort of Paypal thing... |
