HOW IT ALL STARTED

What seemed like a hobby of buying and giving gave birth to an accidental business venture.

And who would think that a guy like me would prefer to have a handbag than an electronic gadget business?

Well...

It all started when I was searching for a perfect gift to my sister for her birthday. Then, I came across a shop that sells authentic leather bags which were fashionably crafted and affordably priced. I was delighted that I bought 3 handbags of different styles and sizes.



The shop itself was amazing. It never ran out of patrons who were mostly women fond of oversize leather handbags which they call hobo or tote. And the pleasant thing was...I could BARGAIN!

Bargaining for the right stuff appeals to me the most as it gives me a chance to work on my budget.

Admittedly, I previously think that leather bags, which were widely known and used by oldies, were mostly monochromatic and unattractive. I was wrong. Leather is definitely classic, elegant and most of all durable.

I know for one that my sister was into handbags and giving her an authentic leather handbag would be an addition to her precious collections. Thus, true to my expectations, my sister loved the bags at an instant!

The flip side was she showed the bags to her friends and they loved them too!

The next thing I knew was that my sister and I were hunting for handbags in Hongkong during her short vacation hoping to sell them back in Florida.

From then on I started to research on the net for additional knowledge on various handbags: types, materials, suppliers, quality of both local and international brands. And what surprised me was not only women are into handbags, men too!

So I decided to explore bags for men and not only leather but canvas material as well. With men now being at par with women in terms of fashion, it wouldn't be hard to reach a market dominated by women.

Same thing in business...

There's nothing like strictly for guys or girls only. Everyone is welcome to explore the field where the rule of the game is...gamble at your own risk.

This I think explains why I'm into bag business.
