About Chelli Chan - Fashion on a Roll
General Information Each duct tape item is lovingly handmade and is the product of many years of trial and error. I started out making my bags with cardboard and straps that never held on past a few days of use, discovered rips in weak points of my items. Now, my items are made with NOTHING except duct tape, the straps in my bags extend all the way to the bottom of the bag ensuring that they won't fall off, and all naturally weak seams in my items have been reinforced. I began my duct tape experiment in December of 2003 and what you see today on my website is the culmination of almost 4 years and hundreds of hours of creating. These items make great unique gifts. I've given some of my creations to my family members as hanukkah gifts and they love them! These are instant head-turners and conversation-starters. I can't tell you how many people have come up to me saying how cute my bag is and seeing their face when I told them I made it and it's (le gasp!) made out of duct tape! Product Information All of my duct tape is specially ordered in the different colors you see (no paint is involved) and is of the highest quality used for crafting purposes. All my items have been tested over the years and can hold up very well to everyday use. The duct tape stands up well to cold and heat, but don't leave your item out in direct sunlight, as it can warp and crack. (I learned that one the hard way!) I've used my wallets before (and I'm currently using one I've been using since January) and they hold up quite nicely. The bags can hold all of your everyday items; makeup, wallet, keys, cell phone (but leave your bricks at home). Website Information This website is constantly going through changes, updates, and there are new items periodically, so keep checking back. I recommend that you download the Flexure font** (click here to download) in order to see this site as I designed it to be seen. Also keep in mind the top banner is linked to whisk you back to the front page in case you get lost. :)
If you have any questions, concerns, ideas, don't hesitate to contact me at ChelliChan@gmail.com! I'm very nice and I don't bite. Much. -Chelli
