5 out of 5 starsShe worked with me to customize the bag and it came out WONDERFULLY! Sadly, I haven’t been to Disney yet to get the full use out of it, but I highly recommend.

5 out of 5 starsI could not possibly love this bag any more. It is the perfect size: big enough for all my things but still small enough to not weigh me down. The fabric choices are SO fun! I get compliments on it everywhere! It's well made and so ME. I absolutely adore it ❤️

5 out of 5 starsI work comic cons and take cash -- this bag was PERFECT for it. The zippered pockets are perfect to hold cash, everything stays in place when the bag is all zipped up, and the pattern is adorable.
The package arrived right on time, and was packaged perfectly. Thanks! -

5 out of 5 starsI needed this item very quickly for a trip. I asked if it could be mailed right away. I received it 2 days later.
Thank you so much -

5 out of 5 starsThe item came as described and on time. It is so beautiful and the workmanship is outstanding. I wouldn't hesitate ordering something else from her. The packaging was beautiful too. When I picked it up from my P.O. box the girl bringing it out commented on the cute sticker on the package.

About BitterCandy
About Me & Bitter Candy
I have always loved being creative in a multitude of mediums. Despite a Bachelor's from Parsons the New School for Design I spent many years afraid to put myself out into the world. But it has finally come time to share what I love doing! I just love making!!! <3
Bitter Candy's name: I remember being a kid and loving those sour bitter candies that you can still find in stores today. But it wasn't about just the candies- it was the friends I shared them with, the friends I would take 'the plunge' with, the friends that were always there even as the years went by.
Bitter Candy is what inspired me to open this shop and I'm hoping those fun and whimsical moments in my life find their way to you through its handmade items.

Frequently asked questions
Care instructions
First Check individual listings for possible item-specific care.
* For most items I recommend spot cleaning with cool soapy water, and let air dry.
For heavily soiled bags and pouches you may hand or machine wash (gentle cycle). Pat or roll in dry towel and let air dry. Press using a pressing cloth.
* Shipping may also leave items a bit deflated upon arrival, revive items with a nice press with warm iron over a pressing cloth. Be sure not to touch vinyl, faux leather, leather, and plastics as these materials could melt.
* I recommend using a fabric protection spray to give items more stain resistance and thus longer life. I use Scotchgard Fabric Protector Spray for this.
Gift wrapping and packaging
For gifts, items are not wrapped any differently and will include the normal receipt. I CAN leave a note for the recipient, just let me know in your order :)
I most often mail items in soft poly mailers.
If I send a box, be aware that I may use an upcycled box. With all the waste that can occur, if a box is in 'new' condition I may reuse it to ship your item. But don't worry, I hand check each to make sure it is strong and stable for re-use!
My item was lost or damaged in the mail, can I get a return?
I'm sorry, but once a finished item has left my hands I am no longer responsible. As such there are no refunds for items damaged or lost by the mail service.
This also includes wrong delivery due to a wrong address given at time of purchase.
Do you have pets or smoke?
Everything is made in a smoke-free, DOG-friendly home. My sewing room is open to my dogs, so be aware if you have a severe allergy.
