Hongkong Sourcing Trip-Part 2
11:32 PM
The next day after confirming all my fabric with our teacher I rushed to some fabric shop and quickly order fabric which usually take 2 to 3 days.I think I order 4 fabric for my collection and most of them didn't come on time and I have to ship all my fabric back to Singapore.When buying fabric I face some hard situation because some of my fabric didn't have the stock and they told me that the company have no idea when they will produce this fabric, and what worse that They tell me this problem in the very last minute which on the last day of our trip in Hong kong.it means I have to change my fabric which make me so stress because I have to change the fabric in last minute which made me so nervous and I quickly find another sample that have the same texture and I find new sample and I asked the uncle to quickly confirm the fabric with the company because if they still don't have the fabric I will go to other fabric shop to find a new sample and in the end the uncle said he will call me as soon as he receive the call from the company without wasting time I went to several store to find new sample because I kinda have feeling that the uncle will say that they have no stock and I fortunately can find one fabric which have a same texture with the first coat sample,After a while the uncle from the first store called me and confirm that my second fabric also didn't have stock, actually I already prepared for that news so I am not really surprise.In the end I buy the fabric that have the same texture with the fabric I saw from the first store and because it takes 4 days to have the stock I asked them to ship it to Singapore because there are no way I can collect it on time because I already go back to Singapore.I feel very tired and so relieved because I still have time to buy an new fabric to replace the first one and I think it is a process of learning new experience about how to change fabric in last minute time and It was a nerve wrecking situation because I spent almost my day to think and find my new fabric and I feel very tired and worn out.
