And I'm here sitting there going, that's a completely different factory.
It's a completely different tannery.
It's a completely different supply chain because in Europe it's so segmented because leather goods are a huge category in their own right.
Whereas in the US, it's a not as, I wouldn't say it's as important in most France as it is in Europe.
So it was actually.
because of that that I was like, wait a second, maybe I should pivot into handbags.
I was feeling a little bit disillusioned in outerwear because you kind of end up
Getting pushed into licensing and seasonality.
Yes.
And outdoor designers tend to also be swimwear designers because of the seasonality.
The sizing the sizes and inventory and just constantly fighting.
Over sell-throughs based on whether the merchandising plan was correct or whether it was a design issue.
I was like making 80 SKUs, 80 different designs a season, and they would maybe buy 20 and then want all completely new SKUs the following season when there were still so many good ideas that hadn't been fully fleshed out.
I was like, this doesn't seem to be the case in handbags.
Right.
So maybe, and I was looking around the
Market in New York, and I felt like there weren't that many luxury hand-aged designers, not nearly as many in Europe.

And I said, why don't I go to Italy for six months?
I've always wanted to live in Europe.
