From almost giving up to guaranteed quality
I’m a designer not a manufacturer but I’m a designer who thinks in manufacturing.
What I mean by that is, as I design, I know it can be made ore else I would not ask.
Well almost, because I can take it very far.
My first product, a sports glove, I knew it could be done, but a lot of people did not want to burn their hands on it.
Straight-out told me it’s not possible, it’s just not.Or here, take this, be happy with this, no Sir this is where our journey stops. I almost gave up.
Designer with a dry mouth
I went to my friend Shami of Los Latinos grill restaurant desperately asking him for help.
As luck will have it, he was getting married in his home country Pakistan.
He proposed to look for me there to see if he could find the right people to get me where I needed to be.
A couple of weeks later I got a call from Mr. Saleem Hafiz and as I always do, I hopped on a plane to meet him.
Arriving in Pakistan I had the most humble experience of my life.
At the factory I had the honor to meet his family and the big boss his father Mr. Zaka ud din. A wise man with a big heart, a large factory, own tannery, leather and garments production to the highest standards of modern-day manufacturing.
He knew I was just getting my feet wet but he made all his knowledge and resources available.
Mr. Zaka ud din gave me this opportunity and believe me, he did not have to by any means. He invited me to his home and trusted me to his sons who go above and beyond to make sure I get the best raw materials for my products and the best people working on my products.
To give you an idea, we go layer by layer in the behavior of the materials and look and feel of my designs. We created a think lab, very demanding. Like I a told you, I can take it very far.
Thank you Mr. Zaka ud din.
