Want to be a fashion designer? Break into the competitive world of fashion design the easy way – design your product online.
Various sites now offer the chance for you to unleash your inner designer. Brother and sister handbag line, Freddy & Ma, allows you to create thousands of original handbag designs. B’s Purses also offers numerous fabric and style choices, and upon completion of your design, the site congratulates you on becoming a “B’s Expert Purse Designer”.
Shoe designer Steve Madden has his own DYO (Design Your Own) Collection, allowing customization of 3 styles: the DYO Lalo, DYO Lusta, and DYO Lamore.
1154 Lill Studio also allows online customization of handbags. Unlike the other sites, you can’t see the customization in process but you can view similar bags throughout the site.

When I saw Steve Madden’s DIY option, I thought it was a pretty great sales/marketing tool. Will check out the others.

I love the idea of DIY – It allows you to customise the peice without having to be a wizz on the sewing machine
