Quite a lot it seems when it comes to naming products you sell online. The etsy sellers handbook suggests you name your handmade product something memorable. Something distinctive. Something that your potential customer can connect with and remember. For example, The English Rose sound so much better, more appealing than Lacey pink crochet scarf. Don't you think so?
So, I'm looking for a new name for the scarf that was formally called Pieced Fabric Scarf. And I need your help. I've had a few ideas, but each name has its pros and cons.
The Suiting Scarf – refers to the design aesthetic and fabrics used in the scarf, but it sounds a bit uptight, and you might think you can only wear the scarf with a suit, and it looks great with jeans.
The Menswear Scarf – same pros as the previous name, but you might think its a scarf for men, when actually it's an interpretation of classic menswear style.
The Oxford Scarf – conveys a sense of history, formality, and references the menswear influence, but is it too obscure?
So what do you think? Do you like any of these? Do have any other ideas?
Just a suggestion.... what about
'suits to scarves....scarves to suit. Bit long I know, but SUITS the process.

How about "Blossom Goes Formal"

How about the Ying yang scarf? Since there are both masculine and feminine elements.

It's always hard to come up with something distinct, especially if you have worked closely with it from scratch. I automatically thought of Autumns when I saw the colors & thought of "Autumn Beauty", but when I read on your thoughts I actually thought of "Urbanely Suitable Scarf" or "Urbanely Suited Scarf". Good luck ! Love what you have done with the suiting fabric!

I love the scarves - but all those names make me think they are scarves for men? Maybe the "His-suit-for-her-scarf" like the knickers? Or you could have "The Wall Street Scarf (for Women)". The first scarf in the post reminded me of a volcano (because of the colours) but that's not really relevant for the other scraves you'll be selling! I'm not sure I've been helpful - just rambled a bit. Good luck - great product!
