ersatz's Profile

Bio

I am the alter ego of desirapesta.etsy.com

This is the minimalist, Bauhaus-driven aesthetic of Desira that is thwarted in Veritas et Pulchra.

Come to me for dresses, tops, paintings, prints, and everything beautiful and sculpture driven... the black and white portrait of a colorful Desira Pesta design.

Artist-cum-avant garde wearable art maker....

WWW.DESIRAPESTA.COM

Loves cooking, sewing, diners, black & white tile floors, swimming, Woody Allen, architecture ,horrible vintage patterns, listening to music constantly, obnoxious maximalism, postmodernism, Bauhaus, Italy, Spain, organic farming, cooperatives, egalitarianism, brooklyn, manhattan, travel, driving fast, tree-climbing, alfred hitchcock, making movies from photo stills.

I have always been a DIY-er, since I was just a little kid. I am a skilled chef who never uses a cookbook, I cut my own hair, I make my own nut butter and sprouts, I, of course, make my own clothing and bags.... I even built my first car after buying a totalled car to rehabitate. I think it's a beautiful thing to be self-reliant and that's really what makes up etsy-- SELF-RELIANCE. It's very very hard to do this, to take a chance at creating and avoiding a traditional work environment or trade, yet it's so fulfilling. I think it's very important to learn and educate yourself on "doing it yourself". Isn't it the best when you don't have to hire out? You can fix your own clogged pipes or bake your own bread. I wanted to have a website four years ago and so I slowly taught myself how to construct one. I came a long way and I think my present one ain't so bad, eh? We are human beings need to reclaim craftpeopleship and artisan work and rekindle the true connection between ourselves and our possessions and environments. The world of handmade thwarts evils. Truly. We are stealing back the people to avoid sweatshop labor and the theft of creativity and the loss of true quality. We the people of Etsy and handmade are making a difference in how things are made, how business is run. You can see a real person in my work and the work of my peers. I have made many a friend through selling my wares. What better "world" to be in than that? What better business? This is happiness. Let's keep it up. Thank you.

Let's see what else I can tell you::::

CUSTOM WORK AND WHOLESALE
I always do custom orders, unless a material is not available any longer due to a vintage nature.
I custom fit to a T and have done over 40 custom orders to date. No matter the size or the qualm, I will make you look fantastic, so don't be shy.

Wholesale:
I do wholesale orders and the minimum is $150.00

PAYMENT
Please be sure to pay at the time of purchase. If you are having any problems paying please contact me. I will be more than happy to help you.

If there is no payment or contact within three days, I'm going to have to void the sale and relist the item so someone else can get your treat.

SHIPPING
After I receive your payment your purchase will be shipped within five days of the sale, unless otherwise noted due to a very complicated design.

Items are shipped USPS Priority mail unless it would be much cheaper to ship via USPS First Class, as it is to Canada. Faster shipping methods are available upon request.

International Shipping:
Please be prepared to pay a slightly higher fee for shipping, as it is impossible to list how much an item will cost to "everywhere else". I live in the United States and will use the least expensive shipping option for your wallet, yet will also keep time in mind. (i.e. I won't ship ground, which takes months)

RETURNS
Returns will be accepted if I am contacted within one week of receiving your purchase. Returns are only accepted if items show no signs of use or damage. You will be refunded in the way that you paid minus shipping. Buyer is responsible for return shipping fees.

If an item has some loose sewing or a problem on my end, shipping will be paid by me, and the item will be repaired and thereafter shipped back to you.
