7. What was your experience during 2020 in New York where the Pandemic hit the hardest?
It was a very tough time for our business. We were forced to close our doors for 9 months and still pay our staff and bills for keeping our business afloat. It almost bankrupted us as it was depleting our savings from paying and not having any income coming in. We could not have imagined this would happen in our life time. This prepared us for the future and taught us a hard fact about life.
We survived and are slowly coming back in business. As a small business we are very fortunate for the support of our clients that have supported us.
8. What does the future hold for you and your amazing world of Fashion and Style?
As a company based in New York City the capital of the fashion world. We feel very confident that fashion will continue with glorious designs. We love to see the smile on our client’s faces. I love to see our culture and trade continue as it has lost its place in Western fashion. The old artists are dying out. I want to bring this trade back to life and continue creating and inspiring the young designers. There is a lot of potential in handwork. Handmade is very “in demand” in the world. I am in favor of Handmade rather than Machine made.
