Teen Vogue x Parsons Assignment: Production Costs

I created a new accessory product I created based on my collection inspiration.

It is a necklace inspired by my travels to Italy and is made with ribbon and San Pellegrino bottle caps.

It is exciting to see that I have a viable product that may be successful in the marketplace. My takeaway is that different distribution channels (i.e. selling directly to consumers vs. selling through a store) can impact the level of my profits on the same product. Who knows? You may find this on Etsy!
