It took me a bit of time to make the video and write down my experiences, but here it is!

And then something that makes me shy everytime I watch it :-) During the process of not being able to get through to Hema, I decided to try to make a viral video asking for their attention. I asked Davide if he could help me and he did! But before we managed to finish it, Hema contacted me and I could hold an interview... So curious about the unfinished result? Watch it here, I'll be blushing while you're watching :-) Lot's of credits to Davide for editing, filming, after effecting, etc...

If you can't be in Rotterdam tonight enjoying the Hangout and Earth Hour with us, you can watch it from a distance, cause we'll be streaming right here from 21:30 on.

Edit

Was fun again guys! Thanks a lot for being there, helping out, talking, eating, drinking, hanging, watching etc... See you around!

Thanks a lot to Davide again for making the livestream happen!

I just came back from the factory of Erfolg, or actually the manufacturer with which Erfolg cooperates. It was pretty impressive to see how their clothes are produced! I was able to see everything, transparency to the max!!

On the left Rolf Traxler (owner of Traxler) and on the right Walter Reinhard (manager of Erfolg)

It was a very informative and inspiring. It's great to see people who are so connected the production of their product. They know how, where and by whom it's made. And they are proud of each part of that process!

More soon...

On a side note. I had some difficulties making good video material, first of all, my beloved Davide (who doubles as cameraman) got sick last night, so he couldn't help out. And my own little camera was miscommunicating with it's sd-card. But no worries! I did get some of it on tape, so you'll get to see the factory from inside as well!

I'm watching a tv episode from BNN about (a little bit spoiled) teenagers working for a couple of days in a clothes factory in Bangladesh. They are producing a pullover from H&M. Check if out if you're interested (sadly enough only in Dutch).

I'm tomorrow visiting the factory of Erfolg, probably it will be the complete opposite… I'm curious.

Last week I got a little bit bothered by the fact that Hema didn't respond to me anymore. So in an attempt to get their attention I figured I would try to make a video that might go viral (probably not as much as Kony 2012, but still :-) Together with Davide we worked this weekend around the clock to make something funny and catchy... But...

Before we managed to finish it completely Hema agreed to do an interview!! It will be a phone interview since the contact person is sick and I guess not in the office? But it's better then nothing!! Do you have any tips for questions next to 'Where and by who'm is it made'?

I guess the video will go in the closet for now... Sorry guys, you'll have to wait!!!

In other (exciting) news

Next week I will visit the factory of Erfolg in Switzerland! I'm very happy with this and curious to meet the people and see how it's produced. I will thank as many people as I can find and tell you all about the experience! Swiss, here we come!!
