The start<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Ever since I was young, I have always enjoyed creating unique things with my own hands. I grew up listening to stories about my grandmother, a great seamstress in her hometown, who made clothes and even wedding dresses and was greatly admired for her work. This connection to sewing always fascinated me and made me feel connected to my grandmother, as if, in a way, I was continuing what she had started. Over time, I began to explore this world, initially out of curiosity and then out of passion.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The opportunity to learn how to use a sewing machine came about through a work experience, and from then on I never stopped. With the knowledge I acquired through self-teaching, I started creating small pieces and even clothes. My love of low-cost travel and the need to pack a backpack with only the essentials led me to want to make my own bags, something functional but at the same time beautiful and unique. From this need, new formats and ideas emerged, namely bags to protect my laptop and tablet.<\/p>

Research and Inspiration<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Before launching Carrie Handmade, I drew inspiration from the world of craftsmanship, where quality, authenticity, and attention to detail are essential elements. What captivated me most was the appreciation for manual labor and the possibility of personalization, something I wanted to bring to my project, ensuring that each piece had a unique and special touch.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Brand Concept and Identity<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The name Carrie Handmade came from one of my favorite characters, Carrie Bradshaw, from the series Sex and the City. I love the New York vibe, the taste for fashion, and the passion for exclusive pieces. Since each bag I create is handmade and fully customizable, it made sense to combine the name Carrie with the term Handmade, reinforcing the idea of a special and unique product.<\/p>

The brand's visual identity reflects this same exclusivity, with a light, feminine, and modern image. The logo and colors were carefully chosen to convey a handmade yet sophisticated style. Soft and delicate tones were selected to reinforce the feeling of lightness and harmony, contrasting with a more sober color for the text, ensuring balance and legibility.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Products and Customization<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Carrie Handmade products are designed to meet everyday organizational and transportation needs while maintaining an attractive and unique design. The current collection includes toiletry bags in various sizes, laptop and tablet bags, card holders, key rings with space for small objects, and cases. In addition, each piece can be customized to suit individual tastes, making it unique and special. In the future, I plan to expand the collection with new products, always maintaining the attention to detail and exclusivity that characterize the brand.<\/p>

One of the most exciting parts of this project is the customization. Each customer can choose the fabrics, patterns, and colors of the fasteners. I myself am passionate about the material selection process: I love visiting fabric stores, exploring patterns, and thinking about combinations that make each piece special. I have a fondness for fabrics with fruits and flowers, gingham patterns in various colors, and details such as bows, which add a feminine and delicate touch.<\/p>

As each bag is handmade, there may be slight variations in measurements, making each piece truly unique.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Design and Development<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

To demonstrate the customization options and facilitate product visualization, I created graphic images in Adobe Illustrator, where I illustrated the different models and formats.<\/p>

Developing the online store was one of the biggest challenges of the project. I chose an intuitive and accessible platform, ensuring that the user experience was fluid and functional. I structured the website in an organized way, with attractive images and detailed information about each product.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Carrie.Handmade Hist\u00f3ria Inicio Desde que era mais nova que sempre gostei de criar coisas \u00fanicas com as minhas pr\u00f3prias m\u00e3os. Cresci a ouvir hist\u00f3rias sobre a minha av\u00f3, uma grande costureira na sua terra, que fazia roupa e at\u00e9 mesmo vestidos de noiva e era muito admirada pelo seu trabalho. Essa liga\u00e7\u00e3o \u00e0 costura sempre me fascinou e fez-me sentir ligada \u00e0 minha av\u00f3, como de certa maneira, estivesse a dar continuidade ao que ela come\u00e7ou. Ao longo do tempo, comecei a explorar este mundo, inicialmente por curiosidade e depois por paix\u00e3o. A oportunidade de aprender a trabalhar com uma m\u00e1quina de costura surgiu atrav\u00e9s de uma experi\u00eancia de trabalho, e a partir dali nunca mais parei. Com os conhecimentos que fui adquirindo de forma autodidata, comecei a criar pequenas pe\u00e7as e at\u00e9 mesmo roupa. O gosto por viagens low-cost e a necessidade de organizar uma mochila com o essencial levaram-me a querer fazer as minhas pr\u00f3prias bolsas, algo funcional mas ao mesmo tempo bonito e exclusivo. A partir dessa necessidade, surgiram novos formatos e ideias, nomeadamente bolsas para proteger o meu port\u00e1til e tablet. Foi assim que nasceu a Carrie Handmade, um projeto que junta a minha paix\u00e3o pela costura e pelo artesanato ao mundo digital, permitindo que outras pessoas possam ter uma pe\u00e7a personalizada e \u00fanica. Processo criativo Pesquisa e Inspira\u00e7\u00e3o Antes de lan\u00e7ar a Carrie Handmade, inspirei-me no universo do artesanato, onde a qualidade, a autenticidade e a aten\u00e7\u00e3o ao detalhe s\u00e3o elementos essenciais. O que mais me cativou foi a valoriza\u00e7\u00e3o do trabalho manual e a possibilidade de personaliza\u00e7\u00e3o, algo que quis trazer para o meu projeto, garantindo que cada pe\u00e7a tivesse um toque \u00fanico e especial. Conceito e Identidade da Marca O nome Carrie Handmade surgiu de uma das minhas personagens favoritas, Carrie Bradshaw, da s\u00e9rie Sex and the City. Adoro a vibe nova-iorquina, o gosto por moda e a paix\u00e3o por pe\u00e7as exclusivas. Como cada bolsa que crio \u00e9 feita \u00e0 m\u00e3o e totalmente personaliz\u00e1vel, fez sentido juntar o nome Carrie ao termo Handmade, refor\u00e7ando a ideia de um produto especial e \u00fanico. A identidade visual da marca reflete essa mesma exclusividade, com uma imagem leve, feminina e moderna. O log\u00f3tipo e as cores foram escolhidos cuidadosamente para transmitir um estilo artesanal, mas ao mesmo tempo sofisticado. Foram selecionados tons suaves e delicados para refor\u00e7ar a sensa\u00e7\u00e3o de leveza e harmonia, contrastando com uma cor mais s\u00f3bria para os textos, garantindo equil\u00edbrio e legibilidade. Produtos e Personaliza\u00e7\u00e3o Os produtos da Carrie Handmade foram desenvolvidos para responder \u00e0s necessidades di\u00e1rias de organiza\u00e7\u00e3o e transporte, mantendo um design atrativo e exclusivo. A cole\u00e7\u00e3o atual inclui bolsas tipo necessaire em v\u00e1rios tamanhos, bolsas para port\u00e1til e tablet, porta-cart\u00f5es, porta-chaves com espa\u00e7o para pequenos objetos e estojos. Al\u00e9m disso, cada pe\u00e7a pode ser personalizada ao gosto de cada pessoa, tornando-a \u00fanica e especial. No futuro, pretendo expandir a cole\u00e7\u00e3o com novos produtos, mantendo sempre a aten\u00e7\u00e3o ao detalhe e a exclusividade que caracterizam a marca. Uma das partes mais emocionantes deste projeto \u00e9 a personaliza\u00e7\u00e3o. Cada cliente pode escolher os tecidos, os padr\u00f5es e as cores dos fechos. Eu pr\u00f3pria sou apaixonada pelo processo de sele\u00e7\u00e3o dos materiais: adoro visitar lojas de tecidos, explorar padr\u00f5es e pensar em combina\u00e7\u00f5es que tornem cada pe\u00e7a especial. Tenho uma predile\u00e7\u00e3o por tecidos com frutas e flores, padr\u00f5es vichy em diversas cores e detalhes como la\u00e7os, que d\u00e3o um toque feminino e delicado. Como cada bolsa \u00e9 feita \u00e0 m\u00e3o, pode haver pequenas varia\u00e7\u00f5es nas medidas, o que torna cada pe\u00e7a verdadeiramente \u00fanica. Design e Desenvolvimento Para demonstrar as op\u00e7\u00f5es de personaliza\u00e7\u00e3o e facilitar a visualiza\u00e7\u00e3o dos produtos, criei imagens gr\u00e1ficas no Adobe Illustrator, onde ilustrei os diferentes modelos e formatos. O desenvolvimento da loja online foi um dos maiores desafios do projeto. Escolhi uma plataforma intuitiva e acess\u00edvel, garantindo que a experi\u00eancia do utilizador fosse fluida e funcional. Estruturei o site de forma organizada, com imagens atrativas e informa\u00e7\u00f5es detalhadas sobre cada produto. Plataformas de Comunica\u00e7\u00e3o A marca Carrie Handmade est\u00e1 presente no Instagram (@carrie.handmade), onde pretendo partilhar o processo criativo, os bastidores da produ\u00e7\u00e3o e inspira\u00e7\u00f5es para os produtos. No futuro, pretendo expandir para outras plataformas e explorar novas formas de intera\u00e7\u00e3o com os clientes.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-63","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_hostinger_reach_plugin_has_subscription_block":false,"_hostinger_reach_plugin_is_elementor":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carriehandmade.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/63","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carriehandmade.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carriehandmade.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carriehandmade.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carriehandmade.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=63"}],"version-history":[{"count":38,"href":"https:\/\/carriehandmade.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/63\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":562,"href":"https:\/\/carriehandmade.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/63\/revisions\/562"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carriehandmade.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=63"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
