I had a meeting with Eddie booked for 12pm, first impressions were not great as he was 20 minutes late and said it was because his dog was in a mood and wouldn't walk with him, poor excuse in my eyes. I had created some designs and ideas for a clothing line i want manufactured and from the off i could tell that he had no interest in what i had to show or say, he said that my ideas were “Too simple” for them to produce. Which clearly makes no sense. I had the feeling that because i am a young and newly starting entrepreneur, he really just had no time for me. At one point through the short meeting he even began to play with a necklace that was on his desk while i was talking to him. Before i had even been given the opportunity to tell him about the sorts of materials i want to use and how i want my designs applied to the garments, he pulled out a piece of paper and wrote down some quotes for me that had clearly been picked out of thin air. At this point i was just frustrated and even if he had redeemed himself, out of principle i couldn’t and didn't take the meeting any further, thanked him for his time and left feeling deflated and almost embarrassed by the way i had just been treated. At the end of the day, i wanted to give the sampling studio my money, however simple or not simple my design concepts were and the fact i was left having a meeting with a pretentious brick wall has helped me in my decision to go elsewhere for the sampling and production of my clothing line.
