23. The lowest point

After leaving my factory, I went to other luxury producers in this town. Since everybody there knew each other, I had a strange experience — all manufacturers declined to work with me because I left that factory. It seemed like I was in a wrong movie. The doors of this town suddenly were closed for me forever. Could I even imagine this situation taking place?

What’s next? I’d been on the dedicated journey of creating this bag for 1,5 years. I didn’t understand why no one could make my product, so that my soul danced?

When I looked at the map, the major production of accessories was in the south, but I’d seen there so many factories already and they couldn't produce my bag. In the north, production was concentrated in Varese where no one wanted to work with me.

It felt like I had tried everything. I didn't know where else to go, and I had no finances to continue my experiments.
