Great interview, thanks! Once you get your skills down and can make excellent product then it's all marketing. I've found that building a brand and getting it recognized with a customer base is a lot harder than learning the leather skills. It also takes about as much time. Great definition of "hand made". I agree 100%!
That’s a great interview! Fully agreed with Ryan vision of what is handmade👌 And with brand building it’s truth, after you already have a great quality product and all necessary things, than it’s all about how you will promote it. Photography, marketing, copy writing and all this things will take at least same amount of time as leather crafting, but from my experience it will take much more.
I chuckled as I realized 90% of the accounts I follow on Instagram are leatherworkers. I think I need to mix it up a bit (good advice)...but of course I won’t stop following your respective accounts 😆
