Steps to Create Professional Certifications

[mayakern]

Things are bad right now.

As many of you know, way back in 2020 we weren’t sure if our business was gonna make it. Our factory was already on break for Lunar New Year–a month-long holiday for many businesses in the area–and with the announcement of COVID19, everything shut down indefinitely. We knew immediately we were in for a bad time. Despite our fears, our sales grew so far beyond anything we ever expected, to the point where we had to hire two employees just to keep up with demand! 

Unfortunately, even after our factory reopened, our problems were not over. Their quality drastically declined almost immediately, to the point that a significant amount of our  fabric would literally fall apart in transit between the factory and our office. Because of this, we discovered that our sales rep had no idea what she was doing and knew nothing about the factory she was representing, so when we told her the fabric was garbage her response was “👍 factory said it’s good!” At the beginning, only roughly 10% of our new product was defective and we were able to sell the affected items with a reasonable discount. By the end of our relationship with that factory, 40% of our midi skirts and 70% of our miniskirts were defective, some affected so severely that they practically fell apart when touched. And still, our rep said everything was fine and there were no problems and the fabric composition had not changed.

So in 2022 we changed factories. We hired Ash to handle this since I was way too busy managing fulfillment to do the amount of research and communication necessary to find us a factory that met our criteria. Finding clothing factories that can make clothing over a size 2-3X is significantly more difficult than one that can’t because it often requires larger and more expensive machinery. But Ash did it: she got us set up with a new factory that has excellent certifications for both their labor practices and their methods for textile production, that delivers consistent, high quality sewing on well made fabric that can be printed without suffering loss in detail–and she was armored with the knowledge for what makes a quality garment so she could check them if they tried to screw us on quality. Their minimum orders were way higher than our previous factory’s, so we decided to focus on ordering more units of fewer designs. We ordered way too much our first round–some of those designs were in stock until the 2024 blowout sale! But it worked out, and slowly we had a warehouse full of stuff to sell.

Fast forward to 2024, business is slowing down between the economy being bad and what seemed to be a general skirt fatigue amongst our customers. We tried expanding into shirts, which would’ve been successful if our minimums were lower. In the late spring we realized we were in trouble if we didn’t make drastic changes and we ultimately decided to end in-house fulfillment and transfer to a third party fulfillment center that would support domestic shipping in Canada and eventually the UK, EU, and Australia. In order to make that transition affordable we drastically discounted everything and that sale was super successful! We were able to begin shipping from the fulfillment center with an almost clean slate, even if it did mean having to close the store for almost two months and thereby missing out on two very important months of sales.

Unfortunately, we were stupid. We continued to order new designs on an every other month schedule instead of switching to an every month schedule, forgetting that having a backstock in a variety of designs is what previously helped us float between orders and now we quite literally didn’t have enough inventory to match the sales we made for last year’s holiday sale.

That brings us to now.

We’re a little stuck. We have a round of skirts in production (yay!) but they won’t get here until February (boo!). To get back on that monthly cycle we would need to order the next round of skirts right now, but we can’t pay for production until that next round of skirts gets here; if the current sale goes well, it’s paying payroll, not production. We are currently in the very difficult, horrible situation of not having enough money for next month’s payroll unless we are somehow able to make significant sales with our very sparse inventory.

We’re scrappy and we do our best to adapt to disasters and I’m sure we’ll find a way to adapt to this one as well, it’ll just take us some time to get there. Basically we’re going to be okay eventually–hopefully later this year–but in the meantime if we seem frantic, now you know why. 

If you’re been considering trying out our viscose shirts but haven’t been able to justify paying full price, they’re on clearance PLUS half off right now! That’s $9-$15 for the viscose tops, and other tops on clearance are $20-$45. Some of the shirts we’re having a LOT of trouble selling are now priced below cost to help us recoup some of the money we spent making them.

Any amount of support helps right now. Sharing posts, telling your friends, buying a $9 shirt–all of it helps. If our clothing isn’t your thing, we also have a Patreon you can support for as little as $1 a month. https://www.patreon.com/mayakern

Thank you so much for reading, and I hope you have a great rest of your day and that 2025 is a brighter, kinder year for us all.

Best places to shop designer?

If you love vintage, look at Japan. Especially for vintage Louis Vuitton bags & cases.

It’s affordable, it’s easy to find and fun to shop for, and it’s actually a great time sourcing pieces. I’ve never spent more than $400 on a piece, and everything I’ve bought has been high quality. I’ve bought some dream pieces of mine, and part of what makes the process so fun is taking the time to find what you want. I bought my Croissant, my Speedy 30, my Pochette, Holdall, Toiletry Bag, and Neverfull for less than $300 each, and aside from conditioning the leather, they’re in perfect condition. I’d strongly recommend looking at Japan’s vintage market if you love Louis Vuitton.

Japan is pretty much the best place to look for any designer items, and the vintage market is the best I’ve ever experienced. The yen is also weak compared to the American dollar, so you’re getting more while spending less. I’ve seen a lot of really nice Chanel and Fendi as well; the more popular bags tend to be bought quickly, but it’s easy to find them, and it’s easier to find rare items on the Japanese retail market than it is to find them on the American market. It’s also very easy to find Hermès scarves and other small items; I love buying small things, and I’m not willing to spend $700 on something I can easily find on the Japanese market for $70. It takes skill but again, the hunt is always fun.

I will say that there are brands I’d avoid and certain stores as well. All of my bags have come with receipts and certifications of authenticity that have held up to the authentication process I put them through here in America. The one thing I’d recommend against purchasing is badly made costume jewelry; it’s not worth it at all, and Chanel costume jewelry is very cheaply made and then marked up to obscene prices. I can make a post about where to shop, what’s trendy and what I’d recommend buying, customs/paying, and how I style the things that I’ve purchased so far. Just let me know, and I'll write a guide up when I have time. 

Let me know if you’d like any of my shopping recs.

web of wyrd: goals you should set to become your best self

this is just a theory of mine because these bubbles of the matrix should represent your higher self. i feel like it could work for the outside numbers too that changes yearly... anywho - this is not to say that you can't accomplish goals/resolution not listed in your category / under your energetic number nor that your efforts not listed in your selection don't make you a better person. this is simply what i believe people with these numbers would benefit from doing and how they can gain new found confidence in themselves.

VALRETH HARAKTA

Chief Security Officer of Antelior Frontline Materiel, a major armaments manufacturing corporation. Formerly a registered mercenary of the fifth tier, widely thought to be on track to earn a sixth tier certification, before being recruited by Antelior to head their corporate security division in the wake of the Second Corporate War. Though Antelior's simple, reliable products are widely associated with unrefined fighters who favor a brute force approach, Valreth employs considerable skill and experience to bring out the full potential of his custom-designed equipment.

The corporate security forces formerly served as vast private armies, but in the wake of the widespread destruction wrought by the Second Corporate War, new regulations were enacted to limit the size of the corporations' in-house combat personnel rosters. This forced a shift in paradigm from quantity to quality, with small squadrons of elite operatives becoming the norm. Antelior, who had suffered heavy losses during the war, offered Valreth an extremely generous contract to not only head but also train their reconstituted security division. Rumor has it that he's continued to grow in skill since his recruitment, and some say he's presently the equal of a tier six mercenary, but since there has yet to be another large-scale corporate conflict to serve as a demonstration of this supposed growth these rumors remain unsubstantiated for now.

Can Residential Metal Roofing Save Money on Utilities?

If you’re a homeowner looking to reduce utility costs while enhancing your property’s longevity and aesthetics, consider residential metal roofing. Metal roofs offer a unique blend of durability, energy efficiency, and style—qualities that can significantly reduce utility bills.

In this article, we’ll delve into how residential metal roofing can benefit your wallet and home, focusing on its efficiency, potential savings, and maintenance tips.

The Energy Efficiency of Residential Metal Roofing

Regarding energy savings, residential metal roofing stands out for several reasons. One of its defining features is its high solar reflectivity. This means that a metal roof reflects a substantial amount of the sun’s rays, keeping your home cooler.

This can be especially beneficial in warmer climates. Traditional roofing materials often absorb heat, raising the temperature inside your home and leading to increased air conditioning usage. In contrast, residential metal roofs treated with reflective coatings—usually called "cool metal roofing"—can reduce cooling energy costs by up to 20%. This not only helps lower your electric bills but can also extend the lifespan of your cooling systems, reducing the need for costly repairs or replacements.

Understanding Cool Metal Roofing

As a subset of residential metal roofing, cool metal roofing is specifically designed to maximize energy efficiency. This is achieved through high solar reflectivity and thermal emittance, allowing the roof to deflect sunlight and release heat more effectively.

When selecting a metal roof, consider options with ENERGY STAR® certification. These roofs can qualify for tax credits and rebates, which can further benefit your investment.

Choosing the Right Color for Your Metal Roof

The color of your residential metal roofing can significantly impact its energy efficiency. Lighter colors tend to reflect more sunlight, while darker shades absorb heat. If you live in a warmer climate, opting for a light or neutral color could enhance the energy-saving benefits of your metal roof.

For instance, a roof painted with an UltraCool low-gloss finish reflects most of the sun’s rays, keeping your attic cooler and reducing the strain on your air conditioning system. To maintain an aesthetically pleasing home exterior, consider shades like slate blue or matte black, which can provide both style and efficiency.

Long-Term Savings on Utilities

While the initial investment in residential metal roofing may be higher than traditional roofing options, the long-term savings can be substantial. Metal roofs are durable, often lasting 40 years or more, and require minimal maintenance. This longevity means fewer replacements and repairs over time.

Moreover, because metal roofs can significantly lower energy consumption, homeowners often notice a reduction in their utility bills shortly after installation. These savings can be particularly noteworthy for those living in regions with high summer electric bills, such as Arizona.

Maintenance and Longevity of Residential Metal Roofing

Regular maintenance is essential to maximizing the benefits of your residential metal roofing. Ideally, you should have a maintenance inspection every 2 to 5 years, transitioning to annual checks as your roof ages. This includes examining the flashings and ensuring the paint is not damaged.

Properly maintained metal roofs enhance your home’s curb appeal and retain their energy-efficient properties for years. If you discover any damage during inspections, addressing it promptly can prevent further issues and sustain the roof's performance.

Environmental Sustainability of Metal Roofing

Another factor to consider when considering residential metal roofing is its environmental impact. Metal roofing materials are often made from recycled materials and are fully recyclable at the end of their life cycle. By choosing metal roofing, you're making a sustainable choice that benefits the environment while saving money on utilities.

Investing in Residential Metal Roofing

In summary, residential metal roofing can save you money on utilities and energy-efficient properties; potential tax benefits and low maintenance requirements make it an attractive option for homeowners looking to invest wisely in their property.

Can You Use Recycled Materials for Residential Metal Roofing?

If you’re considering a new roof for your home, you might be wondering about the materials available. Perhaps you’ve heard about the benefits of metal roofing and are curious if you can use recycled materials for your project. Well, you’re in the right place! Let’s dive into residential metal roofing and explore how recycled materials can be an excellent choice for your next home improvement project.

What is Residential Metal Roofing?

Residential metal roofing has become increasingly popular among homeowners looking for durable, eco-friendly options. Unlike traditional shingle roofing, metal roofs can last decades, often exceeding 50 years, with minimal maintenance. They are available in various materials, including aluminum, steel, copper, and zinc, each offering unique benefits and aesthetics.

The Benefits of Using Recycled Materials in Metal Roofing

The advantages of using recycled materials for residential metal roofing go beyond being eco-friendly. Here are some compelling reasons to consider:

1. Environmental Impact

Using recycled materials significantly reduces waste. When you choose residential metal roofing made from recycled metals, you are contributing to a decrease in landfill overflow. Metal is one of the most recyclable materials available today, with nearly 20 million tons processed in the U.S. in 2018 alone. By selecting a roof with recycled components, you’re taking a step toward a more sustainable future.

2. Longevity and Durability

Residential metal roofs are renowned for their durability. When built using recycled metals, they maintain the same high quality and performance standards. A metal roof can withstand harsh weather conditions, resist rust, and is less likely to suffer damage from hail or strong winds. This longevity means you won’t have to replace your roof as often, saving time and money in the long run.

3. Aesthetic Appeal

Recycled metal roofing doesn’t compromise on looks. Available in various colors and styles, it can enhance your home’s appearance while being environmentally conscious. Many homeowners appreciate metal roofs' sleek, modern look, which can complement various architectural styles.

How Do Recycled Materials Fit Into Residential Metal Roofing?

Types of Recycled Metal Materials

Various metals can be recycled and used in residential roofing. Here are a few common options:

Aluminum: Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, aluminum roofing is often made from a high percentage of recycled materials.

Steel: Galvanized steel is durable and is commonly sourced from recycled content. It’s also a popular choice due to its affordability and resilience.

Copper: Although more expensive, copper roofs provide a distinctive look and can be recycled multiple times without losing quality.

Zinc: Known for its longevity and low maintenance, zinc roofing often incorporates recycled elements, making it a sustainable choice.

Each of these materials can provide a robust and attractive roofing solution for your home while being eco-friendly.

The Recycling Process

If you're considering residential metal roofing made from recycled materials, you might be curious about how recycling works. Here’s a quick overview:

Collection: Old metal roofing is collected and sorted based on the type of metal.

Processing: The collected metal is cleaned and melted at a recycling facility.

Re-manufacturing: The melted metal is then formed into new roofing products that are ready for installation.

This process helps ensure the materials retain their integrity and quality, making them suitable for new roofing systems.

The Role of LEED Certification

If sustainability is important, consider getting your home certified by LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). This program evaluates the environmental performance of buildings and homes. Metal roofing from recycled materials can contribute to LEED points, making certification easier.

Using eco-friendly materials benefits the environment and increases your home's value. Sustainable features can attract future buyers, making your home more marketable.

Cost Considerations for Residential Metal Roofing

While using recycled materials can be eco-friendly, it’s also important to consider the cost. Residential metal roofing tends to cost more upfront than traditional shingle roofing. However, due to its longevity, reduced maintenance needs, and energy efficiency benefits, it can save you money over time.

Return on Investment

Investing in a metal roof can yield a solid return on investment. Homeowners often report energy savings due to metal roofs’ reflective properties, which can help reduce cooling costs during hot summer months. Additionally, some insurance companies offer discounts for homes with metal roofs, given their durability.

Maintenance Tips for Your Metal Roof

Once you’ve opted for residential metal roofing, it’s essential to maintain it properly to ensure its longevity. Here are some maintenance tips to consider:

Regular Inspections: Inspect your roof at least once a year for any signs of wear or damage.

Clean Debris: To prevent water buildup, keep gutters and downspouts clear of debris.

Repair Quickly: Address any rust, scratches, or dents immediately to prevent further damage.

Professional Help: Consider hiring a professional for thorough inspections and repairs.

By maintaining your metal roof, you can ensure it lasts as long as possible and continues providing the benefits you sought at the outset.

Choose Sustainability and Style

Recycled materials are an excellent choice for environmentally conscious homeowners who want to install residential metal roofing. Not only does it help reduce waste and promote sustainability, but it also provides a durable, aesthetically pleasing roofing solution. You can effectively balance quality and eco-friendliness in your roofing project with options like aluminum, steel, copper, and zinc.

I have three skirts from the old factory and one from the new factory, the new fabric was a little disappointing in the beginning, but it's since grown on me since it doesn't pill at all and is way cooler in warmer weather! I just bought three new skirts for the sale since I love them so much

i totally understand ppl who prefer the vibe of the old skirt material, but the new material is MUCH higher quality. the old skirts were a polyester faux jersey and had a looser weave and lower thread count, making the material much more susceptible to wear and tear and to pilling in the wash. our old factory also did not have the same certifications for quality materials that our current one does, and several times we caught them trying to switch fabric on us without saying anything, which is suuuper shady.

and as mentioned yesterday, towards the end of our working relationship their defect rate became astronomical. it was truly horrific: bad sewing, stained garments, garments that had already started to pill/fall apart. it was truly heartbreaking not just as someone whose business was relying on this product, but as someone who (while designing/selling clothing) strives to create as little garment waste as possible. we had to sell bundles of defective skirts at a steep loss just in the hopes people could repurpose the fabric for sewing projects so that we could minimize our garment waste. i cannot overstate how devastating this was to me on a personal level. there was even a while where devin and i weren’t totally certain we could keep designing and selling clothing.

our new factory not only has certifications for their ethical labor and high quality materials, but they are consistent in both the materials they use and the quality of their sewing. we know when we order a certain material from them, we will get exactly what we are expecting. they make a lot of their fabric in house and when they do special order things, because they are certified up their entire supply chain, we can feel confident that not only is the material up to par quality-wise, but it was also made ethically.

a lot of stuff has come out in the past few years about shein clothing containing lead or other harmful chemicals, or period underwear containing pfas, etc, and while based on the price point we were paying for garments and our own due diligence looking into working conditions, etc., i don’t think that was an issue with our old factory, with how much worse things have gotten since COVID, having those third party certifications and having years of records of successful audits by those third parties is absolutely invaluable to us.
