How OrganicStories got started

Introduce your Etsy shop and tell us your story. How did you begin and decide on what to sell on Etsy, and how do you create your products?

Organic Stories is a sustainable lifestyle brand created to provide quality, reusable products designed to lead a more sustainable and conscious lifestyle. I make the designs for the products. The products are being created by a small producer group in India, where the organic cotton is also coming from.

Favorite items

What are your favorite items? What makes these so special? Why do you think these items might be selling well?

My favorite items are the laundry bags, the tidy bag, the string shopper, and the adjustable body buffer. They are so useful and really solve the plastic issue
