Cô ấy may những bộ quần áo rất đẹp nhưng lại bán lỗ.
She wakes up at five. Before the children are up. Before the heat comes.
Cô ấy đã ngồi vào bàn rồi. Vải đã được ghim lại. Máy may đang hoạt động.
She learned to sew from her mother. She is good at it. Better than good.
"Đẹp quá. Giá bao nhiêu vậy?"
And then the negotiation starts. And she gives in. Because she needs the sale.
By the time the dress is finished, packed, and sent — she has earned less than the cost of the fabric.
She does not know this. She priced by feeling. What seems fair. What the customer will accept.
This is not a story about a woman who cannot sew. She can sew. That is not the problem.
The problem
Cô ấy mua vải riêng lẻ — từng đoạn một, với giá bán lẻ.
Cô ấy tìm kiếm khách hàng từng người một — thông qua trang cá nhân của mình.
She competes with women on the next street doing exactly the same thing. She sells to neighbours who have no money.
Cô ấy đang một mình.
Điều gì sẽ thay đổi khi mười người phụ nữ gặp nhau?
They buy fabric together — wholesale price. The cost drops before a single stitch is made.
One coordinator finds the orders none of them could find alone. School uniforms. Corporate orders. A stall where customers have money.
The price is no longer set by feeling. It is set by arithmetic.
Below that number, she is not selling. She is donating her labour.
Above the floor — she competes on what she is actually good at. Design. Fit. Finishing. The things her customers were already telling her were beautiful.
The Facebook page becomes the shop front. The cooperative is the factory behind it.
Liệu mỗi thành viên có kiếm được nhiều tiền hơn trên mỗi sản phẩm so với khi bán một mình không?
If yes — keep going. If no — find out why before the orders stop.
MetriqOne Theo dõi nó. Giấy và bút. Không cần internet.
Điều đó có quan trọng không? — Hãy đo lường nó.
