@coquetryclothing has ripped off my devil hood design yesterday that I have been selling since August 2018 in my Etsy store. My devil hood is the left one in the photo. My devil hood is my best seller and I have worked really hard to make quality hoods so my customers love what I do. I am very disappointed in them. I have asked them to remove their post, stop selling that hood and make their own devil accessory design. They have not responded to me and instead turned off all ...comments to their post because they know what they did is wrong. Just because they have a bigger following then me does not mean they can steal my work and pass it off as their own. I am a small business, working for myself. I do not have employees and I make all of my products myself with my own hands. It’s wrong for them to do this to me. They are even advertising their rip off hood like how I advertise mine. They are selling their hood for the exact same price as mine. I do believe mine is of a higher quality and is more attractive so feel free to visit my Etsy store and get the original vintage style devil hood. I have over 150 5 star reviews and loads of sales to backup my quality and attention to detail. Have a safe and fun Halloween season. Thank you for reading and always supporting me. . . . #coquetryclothing #devilhood #stolemydesign #badbusinesspractices #badbusiness #devilcostume #burlesquecostume #dragcostume #circuscostume #burlesque #drag #circus #costumedesigner #etsy #etsyseller #smallbusinessowner #artisan #fashiondesigner See more

When your cat is prettier than you! . I was making hoods and Mariposa insisted on stopping all production so she could have a photoshoot.

I brought my hood back, but it’s in super comfy stretch velvet this time. Also the print kinda looks cheetah like. Meow!!!! Available for order now on my Etsy for the new price of $55.

I really needed this review today. As an artist I’ve been feeling really low and wondering what’s even the point of my work when there is so much darkness and pain in the world. Am I really doing anything to counter that? And then I’m reminded that I’m making people happy and that matters. It may seem like a small thing, but bringing joy is a gift and I’m glad I get to give it. . . Thank you so much to everyone who shopped my July sale. It was a huge success for me. I’m so g...lad I was able to bring joy to so many people. I have dropped some of the prices slightly on some of my products for the foreseeable future as we all start to bring ourselves out of the financial crisis. I will also be working on some new hood and mask designs (think a hood ). And also I will be making some new lace leotards and hopefully some simple wedding gowns samples as well for upcoming elopements. Stay tuned friends:) See more

It’s the final day of my July sale. 25% off everything in my Etsy store until midnight! All remaining hoods, lace bodysuits, and masks are included.
