Bernadette Q &A
Q1:What inspired this design?
A: I have always loved Gothic architecture, especially the Neo-Gothic aesthetics of the late Victorian period. If I see something related to these styles, I am always immediately tempted to buy it. Meanwhile in a practical sense, I want to keep my book and my essentials with me inside the bag so I need to have enough space. I wanted something practical and light-weight.
Q2: Who do you think will fit the bag the best?
A: People like me who like a fusion between the historical and modern. Those who have a love for styles of the past but also want to integrate them into the modern world.
Q3: When do you think you will wear the bag?
A: I’d say it’s definitely an everyday bag. You don’t need a special occasion to wear it, it’s for any occasion.
Q4: How did you come to know Beara Beara?
A: I found you from another Youtuber years ago. She was showing a satchel which I was obsessed with. Then I bought a satchel from you. That’s when the journey started.
Q5: What do you think of Beara Beara? Collaborating with us, using our products etc. Please tell us the truth :)
A: Everything here is delightful. And the quality of the product is very impressive. From the original crafted materials to the details. I don’t have to use it delicately or be overly cautious. I can use it in any way and it still looks beautiful. Magic! It’s so important having a quality product that you can wear every day and that you know will outlast you.
Q6: What’s the most challenging part of your YT channel?
A: Time. Each step takes much longer than you think and behind the scenes is far more complicated than it looks for people watching. There’s a lot of time and effort that goes into even the most simple shot.
Q7: What’s the best thing about doing it?
A: Getting people excited about it and being able to express myself freely. I love reflecting my personal style. I stand for quality and ethical products and really try and pioneer against harmful or unethical fashion. I love making my specific wardrobe for myself. It opens me up to an incredible freedom to be whoever I want to be and express myself creatively.
Q8: What kind of message do you want to convey?
A: You can wear fashion in your own way. Altering a shirt from a thrift shop to fit your own personality, it’s not so much about what you wear but how you wear it and how you incorporate it in your own life. I don’t believe in buying a bunch of clothes and throwing them away next year.
Q9: Do you ever think of creating your own clothing brand?
A: Yes but regarding the time and labour cost, it is difficult to sell clothes at a price people can afford while also providing the makers a fair wage. I like fashion that is available for everyone, but balancing affordability with human and environmental ethics is an essential place to start…and I haven’t quite worked that out yet.
Q10: Will your subscribers follow you to make the clothes?
A: Yes! I received so many responses from them. We are selling sewing patterns online. People can download the patterns and follow the steps, it’s such a nice way to be involved in the process of creating clothes.
