The lates design: the lap top bag.
It's not so hard to start your own bussiness; it only takes time and you must not be afraid to adjust your ideas. I have this company Dutch Peppers for 15 years now (mmm that's long, and still not rich...). I use to be a interior designer after the art school (Hogeschool voor de Beeldende Kunsten) in Amsterdam but 2 years ago I finished the Fashion Academy (Artemis) in Rotterdam and since then I have been focussing on fashion. I bought an old sewing machine for leather from an Iranian guy who lived on the 10th stock of a flat without an elevator and started designing. After a lot of trials and ugly designs I think I am on track now. My line consists of fun bags, art, iPhone and iPad bags, etuis and table cloths. All leather and handmade by the designer (me). Last week I have talked with the Social Workplace (Sociale Werkplaats) were people with handicaps are making everything you can imaging. They have sewing-, iron-, and wood departments were they manufacture chairs, garbage bags, all kinds of childrens cloth et cetera. And also a leather department!!! As we speak they are cutting and sewing samples of my bussiness line (stuff that girls can take to work like bags for iPad, iPhone, lap top, writing stuff) so I will keep you posted..
