Words fall short, I can't describe how much i love creating things and working with my hands, it took me a while to figure out this is what i really wanted to do for an occupation. After school, I got a few pharmacy jobs, as a sales assistant, then i worked for a soulless corporate machine, again as a cashier. Needless to say, it was draining and I was unhappy.

As cosplay became more main stream, so did the demand for cosplay items, clothes and weapons. Being a cosplayer myself, I had exposure, and people were always asking me to make them something. I took the opportunity with the help of a friend and i opened this store up. I started in June of 2013, before i knew it I made more than just Tomb Raider items.

Speaking of, I launched my website www.laracroftcosplay.com back in 2007, through it i was able to help build a wonderful community of Tomb Raider cosplay fans, and made a lot of close friends. I don't just think of my buyers as customers, I think of you all as members of my loving community, even if you don't cosplay , you're still amazing to me and every one of you is a potential friend because you love one of the fandoms i craft for.

I don't charge more than i absolutely have to for my labor, packing materials, shipping and crafting materials/tools, I am not out to make big bucks, i just need to survive. I would never take advantage of my community

Surviving and paying my bills would not have been possible without this online shop, Through purchasing my items, you are helping me maintain my independence and keep doing what I absolutely love. I don't have a crew, a photographer or help with crafting, It's just me. Every item that i make is a piece of my love, and i think you can see that through the craftsmanship. In making your things I strive for perfection.

Finally, I will move heaven and earth to make sure everyone that buys from my shop is happy with their order, because the happiness of my customers gives me more joy than money.
