ABOUT MERCY GREY DESIGN CO
OUR STORY
Mercy Grey Design started out of a 9X9 room in our house. I taught myself to sew using Youtube and Pinterest tutorials. MG really took off when I designed our first Fringe Crossbody using Rancho Arroyo Pendleton and dark brown leather fringe. It’s a design that we still make today!
The first year of business I learned what words like wholesale, drop ship, and consignment meant. I basically learned everything from the ground up by research and trial and error. A lot of the bag styles we sell currently are designs that started out as custom orders that we worked side by side with customers to design. You guys have the best ideas!
My knowledge and abilities have grown so much because customers have asked for specific details or aspects of a bag and it has pushed me to search for solutions and play around with ideas till we got it right.
There’s nothing more amazing than working out all the details on a custom bag, bringing it to life and then seeing how much the new owner loves it!
