Yeah.

I don't like working with middlemen.

I like to be on the factory floor and getting to know them.

And so that's my next challenge, which I love.

I think that's probably what I most love about my job.

Back to working with those artisans that I met in Barcelona.

Yes, some of them are.

Spain, the UK.

Yes, and a little bit in India, our curtains.

I'm going to Delhi in two weeks' time.

Right.

And I really look forward to meeting that factory.

I hope so.

On the other side is the tariffs in the US.

How has that affected you?

They do keep changing.

At the moment it's 10% for us and we've had to share that extra cost with our customer and taken on the other half ourselves.

And what I've found is that what we land in the U.S.

is selling incredibly well.
