Building a business seems like having a new born baby. It literally takes over your life. Thank you for thinking about every aspect of what we Women struggle with when it comes to clothing. You definitely thought of everything. I'm understanding more, more and why small businesses go with China to do their manufacturing and why smaller fashion brands do not have a wide range of sizes and prices can be higher. I must remember to have more compassion for small business owners. Great vlog Hazel. Appreciate you always for sharing love. I've been learning so much. Take care and I'm on to the next vlog🤗🧡🍂.

Just to have another source for reference, find a local dress maker to make you a sample blazer, as well.. They will also know where you can source materials.. It might save you some money. Good luck with your new buisness.🎉🎉❤

Not keen on the belts x

[@hazelwoodx]

These were only sample 1, has changed alottttt since this video🥰

@@hazelwoodx i know but not sure the jackets need them x

[@leannewatson3571]

When you factor in import taxes and shipping costs it's not so cheap to order from China

[@hazelwoodx]

And the shipping! Omg its SO expensiveeee my unit price has doubled what i originally expected😂

[@leannewatson3571]

Ps When paying China use WISE under a certain amount and OFX over a certain amount. Better exchange rates

[@leannewatson3571]

@@hazelwoodx Yes exactly I forgot the shipping and added it before I saw your comment

[@luanapresicce4918]

I love these videos and I find it very encouraging, bc I want to start my own brand and sometimes I feel very overwhelmed and feel like I can't do it (bc I don't have any experience...), so thank you for your insight!!🥹💗 May I ask you, where did you search for your factory? I heard a lot about alibaba but I'm quite overwhelmed there 😂 wish you all the best on your brand xx

[@hazelwoodx]

It is veryyyy overwhelming but if you truly want to do it and can commit your dedication to it then i would go for it! But it truly does mean dedicating your all to it - my life is mainly just the business now (i feel like this isnt shared enough!). You can search on google, alibaba also. You just need to reach out to tons and tons of factories, and see what replies you get and go from there- there is no quick solution, ive had my fair share of issues and wasted money to finally find some factories im happy to work with xxx
