Why Fall Bows Start in the Summer

When it's 90 degrees outside and you’re still packing pool bags and popsicles, Fall might be the last thing on your mind... but for bow makers? A season ahead is the perfect time to start prepping for the coziest, busiest season of the year!

Here’s why most makers start their Fall ribbon shopping in the heat of summer and why you’ll be glad you did too!

 

🍁

1.  Fall Is a Big Season for Bows So Plan Ahead

From school spirit bows to pumpkin patch photo ops, Fall is packed with opportunities to sell, gift, and show off handmade bows.
By shopping now, you’ll have time to:

  • Plan your seasonal collections

  • Create samples to share on social

  • Get ahead on boutique orders or market prep
    Think of it as crafting smarter, not harder.

2.  Beat the Rush (and the Sellouts!)

You know how it goes: those perfect pumpkin prints and Fall plaids always seem to disappear right when inspiration hits.
Shopping early means:

  • The best prints are still in stock ✅

  • You won’t be racing the mailman to finish an order ❌

  • You’ll have time to reorder your favorites before they’re gone 📦

Pro tip: also grab coordinating solids and clips now so you’re ready to roll!

3.  Early Projects = More Sales Later

Posting Fall bows early (even in August!) gets your customers thinking about the season and you’ll be the one they remember when it’s time to buy.

Plus, you’ll have:

  • Photos ready for Etsy or Facebook drops

  • A head start on teacher gifts and back-to-school bundles

  • Time to batch your bows before the busy season begins

4.  Inspiration Strikes Early!

Shopping Fall ribbon now gives you a chance to spark your creativity while things are still slow.

We’re seeing so many fun trends this season:

  • Vintage Halloween prints 🧡

  • Cozy plaids and neutrals

  • Glitter details for that extra pop ✨

And remember—designing when you’re not rushed is when the real magic happens.
