• I just wanted to give you some feedback about your web site, your marketing emails, and your style.  They are fabulous!  I know other entrepreneurs that are selling their wares via the internet, and their emails and websites aren't nearly as appealing as yours.  For one, you never have typos and mistakes, which seems minor, but it is huge when it comes to first impressions. Also, your use of language, the word choices you make, all contribute to a feeling of class. Your typesetting, your fonts, now your pictures, all very visually appealing.  I can just see you featured in People magazine or In Style magazine one day... it will say, Manisha Joshi started out in her tiny home studio and now has a thriving multi-million dollar business, all while setting trends across the nation....Keep up the good work!

• The tote bag with the flying pig fabric arrived yesterday and I am thrilled!  I will use it everyday, carrying my things to work, to the gym and in the nicer weather, to the beach.  Thanks so much!

• I’ve known Manisha for several years and was thrilled when she said she would be starting up her own business. She’s always been creative and artistic and I knew this would be a great fit for her.  I absolutely fell in love with the items she had on her website and as a new mom, asked if she made diaper bags.  She didn’t, but in true Manisha fashion she said she would custom make one just for me!!!  I went to her home studio and was able to pick out the exact fabrics I wanted and within a couple of weeks had a brand new swanky diaper bag.  It has tons of pockets and holds everything I need.   I’ve have gotten a lot of compliments from friends and have told all of them to check out Manisha’s webpage and blog.  I will most certainly be shopping Sunisha Designs again, in fact, I was just browsing for a new handbag!

• You are really BIG these days.  I am so proud of you. Now that I'm in Illinois, I really wish that I was there to pick out some fabulous fabric and have you design me a handbag. I may have to do it over the phone, I want something that is very unique, which won't be hard to do with your style and creativity.  I want it to be a bag that my friends here say, " where did you find that". Thanks for sharing all of your great ideas on the internet with me. Keep the email's coming.

• I discovered the company through an ad in the Times Union newspaper and am so happy I did! I purchased two gift certificates for family members. They redeemed them for custom handbags and the work was exceptional, done on time and Manisha went out of her way to accomodate special needs. I would definitely refer her to friends as she is delightful to work with.

• I was introduced to Manisha and Sunisha Designs during a volunteer event for  Childrens Home Society. She brought her handbags, Wine Wraps, and wrappings to our recruiting event for a preview party. We were able to purchase right from her stock. She had so many style and patterns to choose from. I purchased a grey flannel messenger bag that she had created to hold my laptop and files. But she took that bag design and created one especially for me for a more comfortable carrying style. And she worked on it until it was perfect just for me. I also purchased a new handbag for my Mom. Manisha definitely went the extra mile to make the handbag especially deigned for me.  I carry my bag everywhere, It holds a laptop as well as all of my other necessities for everyday use. I get many compliments on my messenger bag and I know my mom get compliments on her bag in Las Vegas. She points to the tag and tells the to go check it out on line. I tell friends about Sunisha all the time. Thank you!

• I heard about Sunisha Designs from Manisha, the owner. I saw her bag and loved it. I purchased a medium-sized Portobello Road handbag that she custom made for me with fabric I chose and even down-sized since I wanted a smaller version. I would suggest producing a fabric wrap that has (with velcro) portable and interchangeable pocketed storage that can be inserted inside all my larger bags. I already have gotten many compliments on this handbag and love how lightweight it is.

• I love the handbags Manisha made from my old Cowboys t-shirts and jerseys. I brought them to Jacksonville on a visit and was so excited to get them done. My friends love them and they were a big hit in school. I use them all the time and they are perfect for all my books and stuff!

• Hi Manisha!
  How great for you....There are so many times when I notice your business growth and think of how you started and kept your focus and passion alive.

Michele Bryan, Ponte Vedra Beach, FL

• I was so excited about getting my own custom-made handbag for my birthday. My mom, Sheri, took me to the home studio where it took me hours to select from all the fabrics just the perfect combination. I chose the best - silks and brocades! Within weeks, my handbag was ready and all my friends in highschool were blown away! Manisha even made a custom matching IPOD case for me. I've recommended her to all my friends and can't wait to get another one.

• The custom-designed bag was the perfect accent to my wedding dress and overall my wedding. It was just the right touch and was made with only two weeks notice. It was simple, yet so elegant, which is exactly what I wanted throughout the wedding. I felt so special to have my very own bag, made personally for me. It made my day that much more special and now I have another keepsake for that magical day!

• My mother in law got the Henna Handbag for Mother's Day and she adores it!  Thank you SO MUCH for sending it to her, you saved me! I hope you had a nice Mother's Day as well. Thanks again!

• Dear Manisha, My wonderful daughter-in-law purchased the handbags you made for me and it was the most thoughtful and beautiful idea. You did such a great job on them. My mom passed away and the handbags were made from silk scarfs she had for years. Your designs were so wonderful, I just love them and I use them all the time. I told my friend about your company and she plans on sending her mom's scarves to you soon. It is so nice to have such a personal and one of a kind design. I appreciate your attention to detail and your great work of art. I thank her so much for the idea and her thoughtfulness on this gift to me, and thank you for doing such a creative and wonderful job on my two handbags.                                                                                     Donna B.

• Hi Manisha, Thank you so much for participating in the 2006 LA Femme Film Festival. The festival was a huge success everyone loved your bags, especially the cow print bag. I wish you could have been at the event to hear how all of the panelists were gushing over your bags with the different fabrics. We were giving them out to the judges and they were picking each bag up one at a time just raving about the fabrics. Here's a photo of the President and Festival Director of the LaFemme Film Festival with her now coveted handbag. It was fabulous to see, Manisha!

• Manisha, thank you for your  generosity in donating the beautiful wine bottle covers for our silent auction. It was a pleasure meeting you, and once again, thank you for your generous support.

• WOW AGAIN! I love your business newsletters. The poetry is beautiful, thought provoking (I can just see you dancing with happy abandon!). I visited all the links - very impressive.
  Patti Harper, Jacksonville, FL
   
• Manisha, your website is fabulous! I watched your TV clip, and I thought you did a great job... so sophisticated and classy! Your new photo cards look awesome!  Did you take all these photos? Have I told you how much I love your website?  You put so many details into it that it is fun to visit!  I like that I can shop and catch up with you and what's going on at the same time.  You have a very happy balance between products and personal connections.  There are so many small businesses who could take hints from you!

• I bought a CD Wrap and a Wine Bag that was custom made for me. Both were gifts for friends. They added elegance to the gifts and my recipients loved them. I will definitely be buying from Sunisha Designs again and look forward to seeing more!
  Dawn Abraham, Jacksonville, FL
   
• I purchased several wine bags, some for myself, others for gifts. I thought the handmade bags were perfect to give as a hostess gift, holding whatever was appropriate. I still use one as a liner for a basket in my kitchen and would gladly purchase something again. Since I purchased those bags, I’ve seen similar bags in stores from upscale gift shops to large home goods stores and the bags at all of these stores are mass produced. I love the hand stitching and unique fabrics in Sunisha Designs bags.

• I purchased one CD wrap, two Wine bags, and a Calendar wrap, which was custom made for me. Each of these was for family and friends to wrap their Christmas presents with. I received a lot of comments regarding the quality and beauty of the handmade work. Would I purchase something again from Sunisha Designs? Absolutely!

• I purchased two wine bags for myself and I really like them. I look forward to buying more from Sunisha Designs.

• I saw the fashion show and your products are really pretty. Nola Lester, Jacksonville, FL
   
• A friend referred me to Sunisha Designs as I was looking for a gift bag and champagne bag. Both were custom made and an extra effort was made to find the unusual fabric I wanted. I'm wrapping my gifts with these bags and I know my friend will love them.

• Manisha is my sister-in-law and we love that her products reflect her personal sense of style and good taste. I purchased wine bags with a different fabric and trim, which were gifts for the partners' in my husband's office and as requested, the designer added beading and trim to suit each bag. The partners were very pleased to receive their wine bottles wrapped so decoratively in these wine bags. I have since enjoyed buying different handbags from her that she created from old outfits I was not wearing as seen in this photo. I'll most definitely be purchasing again from the vast array of beautiful products Sunisha Designs has to offer.

• Anything Manisha touches comes out fabulous! She's amazing. And THANK GOODNESS my custom handbag is ready - ny purse is getting dirty (again).                                                                                       Ashley Harper, Jacksonville, FL

• I met Manisha through the Chamber of Commerce's Professional Women's Council. My first purchae was a wine bag that was part of a collection and although we originally intended it for a gift, I have grown used to seeing it on the counter with the other wines. The bag blends in beautifully with my decor and plants. Since launching her custom handbag collection, I had her create a fun patchwork tote bag to carry all my things in. Picking out all the different fabrics was only half the fun...when I saw what became of them, I was really happy!

• Sunisha Designs bags make unique gifts. I purchased several custom-made gift bags and my recipient loves hers! I'll definitely be back to buy more.

• I met the designer at a show of mine, saw her products and web page, and am very impressed with her products. I purchased some beautiful bags that I filled with potpourri, and some gift tags for presents. She has such beautiful fabrics and designs, I had trouble deciding which ones to purchase! The gift tags were a big hit on gifts I have given. Everything is so unique and original. The specialty cards and wine bags, etc., are all hand made and beautiful!
  Michelle Bohler, Jacksonville, FL
   
• Manisha, I thought you might like to know that the CD wrap I bought from you was very well received. I actually got comments on it - unsolicited I might add! Thanks for working with my to get over to your studio...I know I caught you at a hectic time.
