#GOFUNDENVE

Hi! My name is Nick Van Eck.
I was raised by leather workers. My dad always hand cutting and my mom behind the sewing machine.
As long as I can remember I've been working with leather.
When I was 15 (I'm 34 now) I designed my first wallet and came up with my business name. By simply putting an 'e' in front of my initials, I came up with ENVE.
I've always dreamed of being a designer/builder and building a business doing what I love. Now I am! I own and operate ENVE hideworks. I design, hand cut & sew everything myself.
I get to see my products go from dreams on paper to raw material, to a beautifully designed handmade product.
I build bad ass life lasting men's and women's purses, wallets and accessories. Everything I build is unique and original to my design.
I also do a lot of custom work as well. 

On January 1st 2016. My son was born.
Chevy William Roy Van Eck, he was born at 10:07pm. The most beautiful thing in the world, weighing 7lbs 7ozs. He was the greatest thing to ever happen to me & changed my life forever.
When he was born he made me want to pursue my dream more then ever.
To show him it can be done,and to show him you don't have to follow the "normal" route.
Over the last year I've worked harder then I ever have before. I've built a brand. I've reached out all over southern ontario and have built a great fan, friend and loyal customer base.
It all sounds like a dream.. just like most small business I've run into the problem of..... running out of business funds to purchase machinery to keep up with the demand, purchase bulk materials to build my inventory and keep up with custom orders.
2016 was an awesome year and we grew and learned so much. This year I want to go big. With the money I plan to expand my clothing line. I've had a lot of people asking for my hats so I'd like to improve design and make a bulk order.. The money will allow me to purchase and print tshirts, tank tops, sweaters & hats.
One of the most important uses for the money will be being able to purchase equipment to help me with the building productions. I plan to buy a "clicker cutter" and "strap cutter". 
I can also purchase my materials in larger quantities to build larger inventory and get awesome products out to my costumers.
The remainder of the money will go into display, advertising (decals,posters & photography etc.) And a few other surprises in mind.
I know I can build this business. I have the biggest heart in the world. I have ZERO fear of failure. One way or another I will do it but I sure could use a helping hand.

Thank you so very much for your time and consideration. Any donation helps.
