@sidraqasim1, I think you could adjust your phrasing whenever talking about the "pregnant women" angle. Many women I know choose to work for the majority of their pregnancy.

I don't think you need any of that actually. Just make it all about connecting the buyer with the craftsman - putting a face and name to the product. That might well include a pregnant Chinese woman who is happy to keep making things until late in her pregnancy to prepare financially for their future.

I also don't think the middleman thing is worth mentioning either. You're the middleman now. The process might be more efficient and adjusted, but there's still a middleman!

My parents had a leather bag made for me in India many years ago, and brought back a photograph of the guy working on the stitching, etc. It's a nice idea.
