In this bonus podcast episode Oskar Lipiński interviews his mother, Agnieszka Lipińska, co‑founder of the family leather‑goods brand DAK/DAAG. They recount the company’s 33‑year history, starting in the early 1990s with small B2B orders for German and Swiss brands such as BOSS and Lufthansa, produced from locally sourced “jucht” leather. The narrative moves through the lack of early strategy, gradual growth, and the 2000‑s shift to selling under their own brand, first in Polish brick‑and‑mortar stores (1999‑2020) and then fully to e‑commerce after the pandemic forced store closures. They discuss product specifics – Italian leathers, hand‑crafted processes, 64 individual components per bag, the use of plotters for cutting, and the introduction of automated equipment while preserving manual assembly. Sustainability efforts are highlighted: recycled‑PET accessories, photovoltaic panels powering the workshop, and a zero‑waste line of small leather goods. Marketing tactics include Instagram, a 57‑k member Facebook community, an email list, live sessions, and a 30 % referral‑order rate. Sales figures are shared – over 130 000 bags sold to 50 000+ customers, with a price‑quality positioning that avoids traditional markup. The episode also delves into family business dynamics: role division (mother on HR/finance, father on product development, sons on production organization and digital sales), early conflicts, and how they were resolved over time. A substantial portion of the conversation focuses on generational communication gaps, Oskar’s remote work, and the challenges of scaling e‑commerce, including the need for traffic, hiring, and technology adoption. They outline future plans to expand production staff, adopt new technologies, and deepen e‑commerce growth while maintaining quality. Finally, they showcase several models (Penelope, Madeleine, Cassie, etc.), explain size and material choices, and invite listeners to engage via comments, subscriptions, and the community group.
