Name my Etsy shop.

Basically, I am turning old donated things into new things. Repurposing, upcycling, etc. But everything I can think of isn't exactly right or it is already taken. My friend suggested Glam Garbage (which isn't taken) but I'm not sold. (Because, well, my stuff isn't "glam" really.)

Ideas? 

Re: Name my Etsy shop.

  • Oh gosh, I suck at stuff like this.  Let me brainstorm a little.....

  • I still have a bad connotation from garbage, so I'm not a huge fan of that one.  What are the other names that you nixed?
  • Yeah, me too. I want something that stands out, but that doesn't work for me.

    The ones I nixed are basically the same idea: phrases with the term "trash" and "junk" in them. 

  • I can't think of any thing at the moment, but what about the word play being on the repurposed/recycled aspect of it, instead of the trash/junk part?

  • I was thinking Repurposed or Upcycled would be good words to use. But I am seriously blocked on what to use them with. I though about using the word Donations, because at some point I want to be able to pay people for the stuff they give me.
  • Repurposed Treasures

    Upcycled Treasures

    yea that's all I got.

  • Second Hand Treasures

  • How about

    Recycled Styles

    or

    Do-over Duds

     

  • I like the first one.  The second one reminds me of bad stuff (duds).

  • Nicole came up with Rehabbed Fab. That's a winner so far, unless anyone has any other crafty ideas. :P

    I liked this at first but then it made me think of a bunch of Hollywood addicts lounging around a rehab facility looking glamorous. 

  • How about tossing the idea of using upcycled, recycled, and repurposed and choosing a name that fits your personality.  That way if you expand and change or add items you have the flexibility to do so.  Plus, when you go in business for yourself, you have to remember that you are your brand so when they buy something from your shop they are buying it from you and not some anonymous place.
  • I am awful at naming things. BUT I have been saving random things for you:) So far I have 2 tshirts made of a cool shaded material, a big tiffany's box, metal hangers, and buttons. You started this business at the perfect time - as I unpack and decide I am not keeping everything!!

    Awesome! Let's get together soon, yes?  Been a while...
