Hi everyone,

I recently opened my Etsy shop selling handmade textile bags, including embroidered/patchwork bags, totes, slings, and handbags made using South Asian tribal textile fabrics. I would really appreciate your valuable feedback and would happily implement any changes that is in my control.  
I'm currently getting little/no traction and haven't made a sale yet, so I'd really appreciate some honest feedback

Shop: [noumadi.etsy.com](http://noumadi.etsy.com/)

My specific questions:

**1. Do my product photos, titles and thumbnails communicate what the product is clearly enough to make you want to click?**

If not, what would you change?

I did a thorough SEO audit before uploading my products. Used google trends, etsy, compared with competitors, and other etsy tools that have suggested that my tags and titles are quite optimal.

**2. Does my shop/product positioning feel distinctive enough?**

I'm particularly wondering whether I'm leaning too heavily on terms like "embroidered" and whether I should be emphasizing the South Asian textile, handmade, bohemian, nomadic/vintage aspects more.

**3. Is my product variety too limited? When is the right time to diversify**

All my products are handcrafted bags in different styles and sizes using tribal fabrics. Should I diversify and include home decor like wall hangings and cushion covers, jewelry, and clothes?

**4. When is the right time to do Etsy ads?**

Right now my products don't even rank in the first 3 pages of my keywords, not even the niche keywords. I have uploaded 33 products. All my products are one of a kind. I have an inventory of nearly 300 bags that I can easily upload day by day, but would that help to upload all of it?  
Are Etsy ads the best way for a new shop to gain traction and sales?

**5. Is my pricing too premium?**

Compared to other shops on Etsy in my niche I am definitely $30-$40 more expensive than the generic brands that are selling cheaper knock-offs. Although, there are a handful of brands that have good products and are more expensive than me and have sales in the hundreds if not thousands.  
I would also like to add that my price includes shipping. Should I keep that separate or include it in the price of the product?



Thanks in advance for any constructive criticism!
