We’re in LA, too. Lots of the contractors are in NoHo. And also downtown and City of Industry, etc. I work remote but we can’t move out of here because of her work! And yeah, she works in smaller batches. She’s very resourceful: of her strategies for finding new contractors is to listen for the sounds of sewing machines in buildings and then knock on the door. It’s like a weird hidden economy. And they basically didn’t shut down at all during the pandemic. She made shoes for fun recently with a guy in North Hollywood. One person operation, decades of experience, and his skills are absolutely incredible. He should be a star, but instead he’s just laboring alone in a little box way out in the valley.
