OOPSMARK by Grace García 1. How did your idea come up? The idea came us kind of as a joke. I was working on other projects, and had been making custom leather accessories for years. I saw a beer 6-pack holder for a bike, and thought it was a good idea to make a wine rack for a bike. I put it up on Etsy, and everyone seemed to love it! I’ve been making them for 3 years now. 2. Why this name “Oopsmark”? The name came from something my said to me once while we were working together. I was making something and made a mistake, and I was annoyed and swore. She said that I didn’t make a mistake; rather, I hit the “oopsmark.” It came to mean something unexpected that happened that ended up being better than the original idea, or a mistake that you just have to work with until the end. 3. Why bikes accessories? I love biking. Montreal is the most bike friendly city in North America (according to the Copenhagen index), and it is so great to see people biking instead using cars. I try to design products that are unique, and something that I would like to use. 4. Where are you based and why? I live in Montreal, Canada. I’ve lived in a few cities in Canada and the US, and Montreal is my favourite. I love the lifestyle, the European influence, and the biking culture! 5. Which bike do you ride? I ride a 1944 Raleigh Rescue that I found in the garbage and fixed up. 6. Any future project? So many! Right now we are finishing up on a great indoor garden system. http://www.oopsmark.ca/ -- source link
