While some designers were able to produce cheaper in Bali, Lissiman says she would rather stop production of the same.

"I have no interest in manufacturing in Bali," said the 25-year-old said.

"Based on the statements of close friends in Bali do, the only way to ensure the quality is up to standard and the production is good, it's either live in Bali and manage the entire process or spend long periods of time there.

"Personally, I really do not know how Bali so the idea that live there would not be an option for me."

Lissiman retain their branch in Perth, where they opened two years ago, but the sale of the label to other retailers said, increasingly difficult because they do not have time to pay.

"From the perspective of my label wholesalers to retailers across Australia They feel that retail selling is suffering," she said.

"Every season, I would try to sell the label, there would be fewer shops to offer the brand dealers and earlier can be suddenly closed.

"Existing retailers have struggled to pay their bills and began to treat the labels as if they were on the air.

"I used to work on delivery, but it was not uncommon to receive a payment for many months after the stock arrived in stores.

"I Noted that these problems affect all Australian fashion label, no matter what level you are," said Lissiman.
