Hi there Eris! Each time I watch a video, I am in awe of your content. This was exactly what I needed today. Oftentimes I encourage myself due to not having any friends close by or family who sew. I have been praying for a sewing mentor. I have people I look up to and admire their work, but you have inspired me to new heights with my bag making. All of what you have said is what I feel and think about all the time. Thank you for your videos and tutorials. I am always looking to learn more. You are my mentor and anything and everything I learn I am sincerely grateful 🙏🏼💐🕊️

What I really need at the moment. Thanks for this! I've taken a number of online courses on bag Making but it seems I didn't make nice bags that I think of giving up, not so much of encouragement around. But this stirr up my spirit, got a lot of key point here. Wanted to apply for the vacancy you posted weeks ago but location threw me off

For any training program you have to be clear from the beginning what you want so that your trainer would not take you for granted and waste your time. Sadly it is something that happens

Hi Eris, I came across your page today and I've binged at least 4 videos. My question is around outsourcing as I do not have the capacity to make them myself. It's been a challenge identifying artisans or manufacturers in Nigeria that can make bags. Do you have any advise on this? My niche would be structured bags made primarily with fabric with a mix of leather. Thanks in anticipation of your response
@TheErisFoundation
Жыл бұрын
Hello, it's a general issue in Nigeria. Many bag factories aren't standard and the few are overworked. The reality is that you have to keep testing until you find what works for you. You can check these ones out..... instagram.com/chrisleathercraft/ Good Luck👍

Ma I'm looking up to you Although I'm into fabrics bags
Can you also share your mentors so we can also follow them
Thank you for these tips Eris. The focusing on learning 1 design at a time, and taking the time to learn the skill, it spoke volumes to me. Often I feel overwhelmed with all the trends that change. Looking at the bag making groups and what’s trending with them… I have to remind myself, that their niche is not mine. I want timeless classic and beautiful craftsmanship to be seen in my bags. My goal is to sell to professionals that favor leather and the handmade items that were made carefully and not in bulk. Thank you for the encouragement! Many blessings to you, and happy new year.

I joined your channel yesterday and I've been so addicted to all your content and this particular video is so so informative. Talking about -never stop learning I am a professional tailor and I make children's wear but early last year 2022 the desire to start making bag started and it's been a wonderful journey. Though I make fabric bags. You're practically the first Nigerian bag maker I know....I'm following you like 5 and 6😂 Thank you once again.
