Most of my business is creating unconventional wedding dresses and I found that using things like plastic bags is ideal, so using these in my pallets and materials for clothing was a more sustainable approach.”
Being an entrepreneur means that one has to come up with innovative and fresh ideas that will be unique in the market as this will give them an edge over their competition.
