The first thought when I met Tran Duong Duy Hai – the owner of Ponagar leather goods store in Ho Chi Minh City – was `I was so wrong!`.
As a person who specializes in making leather goods, what type of leather do you think is considered beautiful?
Most of Ponagar’s leather is imported from Europe.
And from such a piece of leather, how many steps does it take to create the product?
It takes 5 stages for us to bring a product to market.
Many people say that if done by hand it has to be rough, only by machine can it be even and beautiful.
When modeling, how do you usually mix colors?
There are principles about color matching in art and I apply them as a basis.
Creating a property like this, how many people are in your team?
At first I did it all myself!
So how did these two empty-handed people start making money to create their own brand?
I feel like I’m a lucky person.
It must be fate, my product is loved by everyone.
From the first piece of leather, I made a phone cover, engraved names and pictures with laser.
Your path seems too flat and safe…
It’s a bit flat, but not safe, because I take a risk.
Everyone has a chance, more importantly we must know how to take advantage of it, grasp it and rise up every time a chance appears in our lives.
Thank you for your sharing.
