My initial thought was that it had to be a scam. Yet, something about it stayed on my mind, so I looked into it and exchanged a few messages. To my surprise, they turned out to be a prominent and well-established company.
Unfortunately, given my current budget and production capability, preparing in time was simply out of reach. I had no choice but to decline.
I’ve been doing everything by myself for 13 years—designing, producing, wholesaling, and retailing. Out of all those years, receiving this message felt like getting a love letter I’ll never forget. Simply knowing that someone abroad appreciates what I do filled me with warmth and sparked a renewed sense of passion.
"Feel free to contact us whenever you're ready."
I can’t begin to describe how empowering those words were. I had been feeling discouraged by the rising costs of raw materials, so this gave me a much-needed boost.
Slow and steady, I’ll keep moving forward.
