Hi everyone! Assalamualaikum how are you doing? I hope everything is fine hee.
Well, yeah, it has been a while since my last post hahaha. Don't blame me for that because my internet connection at home is not as fast as at Nottingham. (and yeah I'm having my three weeks break right now, which actually only a week left before I start my new semester)
Sooo, I'm here today to share what did I do during these semester break. I am helping my sister to run her totebag business zzeahh. But before that, do you know what totebag is?
So basically, this is a plain totebag. You can paint on it, you can draw any design you want, with any colour you want, you can dye it, or even you can wear it plain.
My sister is very good in drawing, colouring, and etc. And I can actually say that she is really gifted in this arts thingy, which is very different from me though hahaha. I even got C for my seni which leads to the dropping of my pointer back then in maktab, hehhhh
So because of my sister is veeeeeeeery good in arts, and my mother suggested that she turns her idea into moneyyyh. At first, my mother thought of tshirt printing. And after some discussion, we agreed of the idea with totebag designing. And my sister was okay with that.
So I ordered 10 plain totebags from one of the igshops, (@comeseestreet if I'm not mistaken) for her to try out on those totebags. She bought arcrylic paints and some other art stuffs which suitable on fabric. FYI, we can't use normal paint colour on fabric, the colour won't retain.
Long story short, she received a lot of order from her friends, from my friends, and even got an order for 100 totebags!
And this semester break, I am helping her promoting our brand.

The price of those totebags based on design. The harder the design is, the pricey it will be.

So, it is kind of exciting to be part of this business thingy. But, once you are into it, you will be busy, and maybe at some particular time, you will be extremely busy. But one thing that I learnt from business is, patience. You are dealing with a lot of customers. So when you are dealing with a lot of customers, you will find a lot of attitudes, some are good, some are bad, some are negotiable, some are not. Well, that's life.
My last word for this entry, bak kata pepatah, banyak udang banyak garam, banyak orang banyak ragam.
