Importantly I wanted to know who would be making my designs and see for myself what the factory that would one day take a healthy chunk of my money was like.
So when I told my husband I needed to go to China he understood that I was serious and that it wasn’t really up for negotiation.Â
Learning that money doesn’t flick my switch was something I felt I had to keep secret. When I confessed to my very patient account that I couldn’t accurately tell her what I’d earned I felt like I must be doing it all wrong.
