CynthiaM
Accessories – Los Angeles
Hello, my name is Cynthia. I started making pirate hats to sell on consignment at a local Pirate store, about 10 years ago. The owner moved, and I had inventory left over. A friend told me about Etsy, so I could sell the remainder of my inventory. This is when CynthiaM was born. I did not go to a professional school. Ever since I was a child, I would make my own costumes for Halloween, and then did the same for my children, family and friends. As a young girl I would just use what ever I could find around the house for fabric and such. I still use unwanted fabric and other various items to create. I use new and previously loved/vintage items, this includes hats, fabric, buttons, stones, feathers etc. This gives each piece it's own originality. Most of my items are one of a kind. There may be a small difference, if a special request is made, for an item that has been sold. Etsy gave me the opportunity to continue to do what I love.
