Now that we are finishing and the place is about to open its doors, I get a little dizzy when I think about all the time and effort that we have dedicated to this project. It was a year ago when my partner and I decided to change sides. We closed our cocktail bar in a terrible context for nightlife and we bet on a ‘daytime’ business, a shop of artisan and gourmet products… with a cocktail bar.
Despite the fact that the pandemic affected us a lot, let’s say that it was the finishing touch of a project that we already had in hand. Maybe we wouldn’t have closed the shop if it hadn’t been for the virus, but ‘thanks’ to it we are completely focused on our new company. And now we are closing the last details, among which is the reception of the material from our nuanced cord distributor. It will be a great detail for the handles of our bags.
And it is that from our previous experience we know how important attention to detail is if you want to be successful with a project of these characteristics. We know that we have a gap in the market, but to consolidate it, attention to detail is essential. That our customers take their products home in a designer bag is not trivial: in the end, a bag is the image that our customers are going to walk around the city and that is why it is so important that it has a good design.
And boy, did it cost us because we had to discard several designs before reaching the final one. Finally we had to go to a reliable nuanced cord distributor to find the key with this material that we wanted in a very specific color and feel. And it is that up to that point we take care of our new project with care.
We trust that the worst of the crisis is over and our gourmet store is a success. The truth is that we cannot avoid the nerves of the next opening, although we know that many of our old clients are looking forward to coming to see what we surprise them with this time.
