Finding our first manufacturer!
This took a lot of blind faith, a couple of days before we left on our mission, to find a T-shirt manufacturer for our emerging label, we decided we were to head into Kuta to find someone who can make our T-shirts from Bali.
how? we didn't know.
where? we didn't know that either.
So we booked a cab and the day came, we set off on an adventure that would shape our brand.
We left in the cab and asked him to take us to a place they make t-shirts, he took us to a shopping center... by the time we realized he left it was too late, we were in some random place north of Kuta, then this cool look cab driver with dice in his mirror rolls up, gets out and lights a ciggie..
"you guys need a lift somewhere?"
"ye we are looking for a t-shirt manufacturer"
"I know the guy"
and just like that, we were off, we had no idea what to expect as we drove into suburbia.
We pulled up to what looked like a family house and met Nyoman, the boss.
Nyoman had his whole family working in the tailoring factory/house, which was pretty cool seeing as if we went into business with him his family would be better off, so we grabbed his details and headed back to our room to figure out the rest of the puzzle!
