Supporting Handmade with Heart: Our "Pay What You Can" Weekend

At Brainbows, every stitch, fold and seam tells a story. One of sustainability, creativity, and love. As a small, family-run business, we pour our hearts into crafting each bow tie and pair of suspenders, hoping they bring joy to your wardrobe while making a difference for the planet.

This Black Friday, we want to do something different. Instead of flashy discounts or rushing to keep up with big brands, we’re focusing on what matters most: our community. That’s why we’re hosting our very first "Pay What You Can" Weekend.

What Is Pay What You Can?

The idea is simple: you choose the price that works for you. For select items in our collection, we’ve set up a few pricing options. No matter which price you choose, you’re helping us continue to create sustainable, handmade products and support our family.

Why Are We Doing This?

As a small business, every single order means the world to us. We understand that times are tough for many, but we still want our products to bring joy to as many people as possible. Hosting this Pay What You Can weekend allows us to meet our customers where they are while celebrating the values we hold dear: care, sustainability, and connection.

This isn’t just about selling products. It’s about sharing our story and building a community of people who believe in handmade and heartfelt goods.

Why It Matters

When you shop small, you’re not just buying a product. You’re supporting dreams, helping the environment, and empowering artisans who create with love and care. Your purchase is a statement that you value quality, sustainability, and the human touch.

Join Us in Celebrating Handmade

This Pay What You Can Weekend isn’t just a sale. It’s a chance to connect, support, and make a difference. Whether you choose to shop or simply share this event with others, we’re so grateful for your support.

Thank you for believing in handmade, sustainable fashion, and for being part of our journey.

 

With love and gratitude,

 

Ellen and Mira
