In case you missed it, on Monday we sat down with handbag designer Kaci Head for the Successful Fashion Designer live show. Kaci ventured into the fashion industry with her own collection back in 2000 and since then she’s had 3 labels and worked with multiple fashion brands.

• 17:10 The benefits and challenges of living in a fashion hub (NYC)…and why you don’t have to
• 20:25 How to sell your product and get it into boutiques
• 26:38 Why your price point and knowing your competition is crucial
• 33:55 Why you should be embarrassed of the first version of your product
