Absolutely agree. Our brand is now almost two years old, fashion bloggers love it, people pin our products like crazy on Pinterest and so on. But we clearly can not charge prices like established brands do.
Opera wanted 10.000 of one of our products as giveaways last summer but of course when we told them for how much we can sell them (we do not produce in factories because we want to keep our quality as high as it is) they didnt go for it.
Even when amazing boutique shops ask you, they will want 50 - 60% off if you ever consider selling to them. We do have our products in some shops just because its good promotion not because we really make money with it.
I don't want to sound negative but there is a reason why so many brands go cheap. We don't because its basically my wife's full time hobby, we want to sell products we are proud off and we are not dependent on that income.
We have about 10 tailors and another 5 leatherworkers working full time by the way, so you get an idea about the size of our operation.
All the best with your venture.
