- Come with me and the squad sourcing leather for new Valuable products, and visiting Crease Group's facilities in China.
Did best I can on captions but some get crazy towards the end with the accents and people talking in Chinese in the background but hope they help!

Those 11 minutes flew by. I was so invested in everything that was going on
Glad to hear it I’m tryna get better at these
Lol me too 😂.
wild to see essentially a skyscraper for just leather, next level.
And it’s… just one of several 😳
Really appreciating this series man, means a lot to us young creators
Glad it helps
Seeing the Shane Dawson and Jeffree star merch here is a wild Easter egg 🤣.
yo me trying to explain Jeffrey star to these guys when I saw it tho
Great stuff my man! It was cool to differinate where we get our leather compared to in China. The scope of it is just crazy over there. Looked like you could find any sort of leather made from any hide from any origin and tanned in any which way. Really cool. Didn't know Crease Group had an office there either. Cool of them to go on this journey and love the interesting fact about leather early on. Seems like the luxury market has a lot of those facts that are either hidden or aren't well known hahah. Excited to see the finished leather bags!
yep - scope is hard to fathom - and yep, learning the whole time - will be cool to see the products come to life
Man love what you do. Wondering, do you have the deets for Jufeng, can’t find it in google?
None of these spots are really online - need to speak mandarin, or have a translator go there. Why I made the trip is internet limits you in getting to the good stuff - I still have to have someone who speaks mandarin do all the comms. If helps, Before I had a manufacturer I hired someone on Upwork who spoke mandarin to hunt down stuff for me and was cheap
Are you planning on dropping the red Valuable shirt in the beginning of the videos ? The washed is amazing. ( I saw one red shirt on your website but it doesn't seems to be this one)
its the same one - the logo on the front just updated (this was the sample)
@@orenmeetsworld alright amazing thanks for your response. Do you have a size chart on the website by any chance ?
Wait your crew is South African?
The accents... Hey from South Africa.
And thanks for the amazing content. Still watching was just caught off guard by hearing SA accent lol.
haha yeah, the art director and owner of manufacturer I travelled with both from there
Love your content man. Quick question though, how do you decide on a particular fabric among the sea of options present? Don't you get confused because there are so many good options, it's like the more you see the more you get puzzled. How do you know when to stop?
It’s more like… hunting for gems than it is everything being amazing. I also brought a suitcase full of things I’m trying to match
@@orenmeetsworld got your point
3:14 that leather would look crazy on a watch roll
$150 a sheet is crazy - can't wait to use it
How can one be sure that you get what you think you get at those markets? And, how to find the premium premium quality leather and fabrics?
You find them by looking for them, and there's not really any issues getting what you think you get - these vendors have been there for years and their business depends on you purchasing bulk from them.
do you have cashmere?
Yeah didn’t make video on it but most of what I’m trying to do for winter is fine wool
The crease group people are South African?! what they got going on in SA, if anything?
Yeah originally South Africa and UK originally but in China now - Yaw stays primarily in Guangzhou, John in US, Jack from China, then designers I work with their in Mexico City - interesting group, very global!
@@orenmeetsworld the internet era in full effect. Thats really sick. Lol if they have a good plug for shipping to South Africa please let me know.
