Zhengzhou Girl Quit Her Monthly Salary And Worked As A Small Cobbler.

"Three smelly cobbler, the top Zhu Geliang", the implication is that the smelly cobbler is not easy to please.

Nowadays, "smelly cobbler" can also be fashionable and turn into "

"

The 26 year old girl in Zhengzhou, after 80 years old, became a young "handmade cobbler". He gave up the monthly salary of ten thousand yuan, resigned and set up a studio specializing in making hand-made leather products, specializing in the manufacture of hand-made leather goods.

The real name of Bao Bao is Zhang Mingqian. In her young eyes, handwork has its unique personality and charm, because the hands are connected with the heart, while the machines are unintentional, so there will be miracles in handicraft operations.

"Apprenticeship" learning skills, dream of their hobbies as a career to develop.

Bao Bao is one.

She can make hand-made leather goods, and it can be said that it is a natural choice.

She dreamed that one day she could develop a hobby as her career.

In college, she studies.

Interest in handmade products begins with sophomore.

In the fourth year, she saw a handmade leather shop in Xi'an.

So she came to this shop during the internship of senior four and wanted to learn from her teacher.

Unexpectedly, the handcraftsman refused to accept his apprentice, and Bao Bao refused to leave because he was "shameless". He did not want to leave, and suggested that he should not pay wages in the shop.

In 3 months, he learned skills and skills in leather production.

"When the master was here, he never let me do it, lest I should make a bad product."

Bao Bao said, once a master was away, a customer came to pick up his wallet, who knew whether the wallet was still bad or not.

Perhaps it is confidence in their skills, perhaps eating the bear's heart for a moment. Bao Bao only said "you wait for two minutes". Turning around and entering the room, the sewing machine was soon sewn up, and the beautiful patterns were printed on the leather products. The customers were satisfied with it.

From then on, the master assured the shop that he would take care of the store.

"At that time, I felt that this shop was mine, and suddenly my dream came into being. I also want to own such a hand-made leather goods shop."

Quit your monthly salary and work as a small cobbler.

Sometimes, though life will not follow your plan, it will occasionally deviate from the orbit, but it will make you see a different life. Isn't it wonderful?

A part-time job did not let Bao Bao go with the wind and become a handmade cobbler.

After graduating from University, with her parents' wishes and social mainstream thoughts, she went to the animation company to work as an administrative assistant.

Hand-made leather goods became an interest in her spare time.

At home, she often uses hand and corner waste materials to make small handicrafts, card bags, mobile phone bags, IPAD sets, key bags and so on. These handmade leather goods are all given to friends and relatives as gifts.

Many people wanted to buy ten or ten of them, but she refused them.

"I do these things purely for personal interests and to the goal of playing and playing."

To become a handmade cobbler in the heart of Bao Bao, the dream of opening a brand of hand-made leather goods shop is not obliterated.

At this point, Bao Bao turned to do a year of real estate sales, the high salary of 10000 yuan has become the foundation of dream realization.

"I want to pave the way for my dream."

In June 2013, Baoying was invited to take part in the first creative market in Zhengzhou.

The scenes were so stunned that Bao Bao was filled with people. She kept showing off her handicrafts and received many compliments.

In the two day of the creative market, Bao Bao earned only 600 yuan, but she made a crazy choice: resigning.

"Why do I have to pave the way for my dream? Why can't I cross the river by feeling the stones? Why do I have to wait until old age to realize my dream?" Bao Po kept asking himself.

So a week later, she made up her mind to quit her job with a monthly salary of $10000 and set up a studio.

The manual process is boring and needs some music and lively programs.

Bao Bao's studio is located in a residential area of Zheng Dong new district.

Once stepping into a quiet studio, the eyes will be attracted by the exquisite leather items in the display cabinet.

A small space filled with the smell of a leather. On the long workbench, all kinds of professional tools were neatly arranged on the table, and a whole skin was rolled around. Two machines in the house, one for sewing and one for polishing leather goods.

Bao Bao curled up in the sofa and sewed a leather bag.

The life and rhythm of manual workers are spent quietly in the thread of a needle, which can slow down the mental and physical movements of urban people.

"Smelly cobbler" is not so easy to do. The cowhide is rough and there are a lot of tools to make. This requires strength. If you want a real original leather product, you need to be creative and creative.

Bao Bao said, sewing a leather bag can also be half dead. If you sew a bigger bag, it will take three days. After sewing, the whole person's hands are stiff.

There is a IPAD and a MP3 on the desk of Bao Bao. "The process of handwork is too boring and boring. All of them are faced with themselves, do not listen to music, do not watch some lively programs, are easy to be restless, and their works will not be exquisite nor attractive."

The goal is to set up its own niche brand.

"Look at my kit, I can't find second!" Bao Bao proudly shows off her work.

Here, as long as you put forward ideas, a unique leather product that belongs to you can be born. You can also make your own leather carving work, which is equivalent to private customization.

Compared with the monthly salary of $10000, handmade cobbler's income is limited.

"We can sell more than 20 finished products in a month, and the income can not be compared with the previous ones, but the market is far better than I expected. Nowadays more and more people accept handmade products.

My ultimate goal is to set up a niche brand with its own personality and style.

Bao Bao said that the next step would be to set up her own team. She would also work with some art vocational colleges to set up a leather production course. The handicraft production industry should be promoted in Zhengzhou and even in the whole country.
