Detail

One of my cliant reqires to change detail of my products. I wonder who has a power of determination of that? I am a designer and also a maker. So I can make it, that my idea, but the shop will not sell it. Another shop may sell my idea. It is funny. Course someone refuses but another likes. Hundreds types of favor is existence in the world! Do not mind!

Colouring

I have found colouring on leather! There are antique and fire works finishing. They will give a good impression. I will use that technique to my products.

Colour

I am using 5 colours for shoes. I want to use more but buyers normally have no idea what they should buy. I mean, They can imagine only traditional colours such as bluck,brown, baige and navy. So if I have many colours, I will not use colours except traditionals. That is no meaning to keep and loss profit. Recently I have an idea to put colours on leathers of my stocks. even if someone requires radical image, I will be able to accept it!

Price

I think pricing is the most difficult and important work for business. When I decide how much new models are, I always struggle. The reasonable is important but material cost and working cost are not so cheaper than expectation. The value of my products is good, I think. Next stage of pricing is proving how good value my products have.

I am asked if I can make special order sometimes. Of course it depends on order. But basicly I am trying to make it. It is good time for braking through myself. It will give me some new ideas.

Idea

When someone asks me to improve my products, I will try to do it. But I need something different ideas to change. I sometime struggle to find a new resolution. That is like an exam of math.
