Things are a bit tough at the moment. 😳
* Production costs are going up globally.
* The cost of linen increases every month.
* Minimum orders are rising which means more upfront money for larger orders which in turn means paying for more storage.
* Factories are in dire need of large orders so are opting to only work with the larger brands.
And if I get through all this, I then have to hope people actually like the new collection and it all sells in a time when there is so much financial uncertainty?!
Yes things are incredibly tough at the moment and there are times when I feel I might never launch this new collection.
But then I focus on why I launched Pru - to design ethically produced small batch collections, a sustainable and affordable choice for conscious living - because for the sake of our planet, sustainable design should be seen as a necessity, not a luxury.
So I will not give up!
