“15 yuan? Isn’t it too expensive?” Su Qing already knew it wouldn’t be cheap, but 15 yuan still greatly exceeded her expectations.
To her, five yuan would already be very good.
“At least sell it for 15 yuan,” Su Wen said firmly. “Remember to embroider the symbol of 7+. That will be our future brand. We want the consumers to remember what brand they bought. Just like when we buy Changhe bicycles, Phoenix sewing machines, or Plum Blossom watches.”
“Can we compare our things to those big brands?” Su Qing’s voice trembled.
“Of course, we can!”
“But… we’re just a small handmade workshop after all!”
Su Wen couldn’t help but laugh, feeling proud, and said, “You’re wrong. Our value lies in being a small handmade workshop. We don’t have such high production capacity. The two of us are already overwhelmed, and we can’t produce too many finished products. Besides, keychains are just accessories. Our main focus is on making bags. Bags with various functionalities suitable for different occasions.”
“Do bags need to be suitable for different occasions?”
“Of course! There are school bags for students, grocery bags for shopping, and different bags for going to the mall or attending meetings. Each occasion calls for a different type of bag. It’s not the same for every occasion.” Su Qing was amazed. “Isn’t a snakeskin pouch enough?”
Su Wen could not help but facepalm, feeling speechless.
“Of course, it’s different. Anyway, you’ll understand once we start selling.” Su Wen changed the topic and began assigning tasks to Su Qing. “Come on, help me make the straps. Follow the width I drew on the sketch, and after sewing the edges, decorate them with finely braided leather cords.”
She had initially designed two bags, one being a small backpack.
It looked like a schoolbag, but it was a more stylish appearance. It was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, with a double-layered design and a curved upper section. There was also an additional rectangular pocket on the outside. The cowhide material was soft and glossy.
Externally, it appeared compact and exquisite, but it had a surprisingly spacious interior. It freed up the hands and was comfortable to carry with its wide straps. Whether for student use or young, respectable ladies, it exuded a sense of class and style.
From sketching to making, it was all handmade.
Su Wen spent a whole week creating this small backpack entirely by hand. At first, she was inexperienced and wasted a considerable amount of materials. But once she succeeded in making one, with both sisters collaborating, they could complete one in a day.
Su Wen was satisfied with the speed they achieved.
Anyway, she didn’t plan to produce a large quantity of each style. Rarity increases value, and limited editions would evoke women’s desire to purchase. However, at present, they needed to go to the provincial capital and register the trademark as soon as possible.
Su Wen made a mental note to ask Zhou Hengyang for help when he returned tonight.
However, she couldn’t ask Zhou Hengyang for help without offering something in return. So, she decided to make him a handsome and practical briefcase! After all, she still had plenty of leather materials.
Without hesitation, Su Wen dedicated a single afternoon to creating a briefcase.
It could be carried over one shoulder, tucked under the armpit, or held in hand. The bag’s size was designed to be 32cm, suitable for storing contracts, official seals, and other items.
While Su Wen and Su Qing were busy, Su Xiu was also occupied. She was responsible for managing both internal and external affairs. Furthermore, she had to find time to supervise her Sixth sister and Little sister, preventing them from fighting when the Big sister was not paying attention to them.
Su Xiu knew very well that these two little troublemakers would present one face in front of their Big sister but display another face in private.
They were quite mischievous.
They were like tricky little devils..
