Proposals, strategies, suggestions for bag production needed

We are a woman (Italy) and a man (Nigeria/Netherlands). It's now being 8 years that we try to set up and put into existance our project to create bags made of natural materials and designed by my friend.

We travelled around looking for someone or for a group that would be able and willing to help us in the production of our bags but the big industries are not interested in it. And apart from that, unfortunately, we often had to face prejudices based on race and origins. So all our efforts up to now remained vain.

Is there someone out there, who can help us with useful advice, proposals, possibilities and opportunities, strategies or simply ideas related to our project? If you need more detailed information please feel free to contact us.

Any help is welcome. Thank you for your interest and advice. Take care and have a peaceful day
