That is a honey of an idea. I'm IN!
How to attract a billionaire investor? Today they're a dime a dozen. You find them everywhere. You don't have to look under a rock. Ask Granny, --Gran? Who's the richest person you know. Ask your ole Dad, ask that posh yuppie client of yours, "tell me who's a billionaire who'd want to do a business that is generous to workers in the third world, aiding people who'd otherwise starve, and yet which produces a huge profit as the item is sold in big top dollar or euro cities. That's how I will structure it. " Use the word 'WILL" as it has power. It shows intent. It shows a vow to do something.
Once you get a dozen possible fat cat contacts, tell each billionaire investor that you are going to go to THE LOWEST WAGE COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, (see list below and pick one you can live in part time.) There, let's say Vietnam or Tunisia... you will start an atelier, train the artisans, or possibly even find extant artists in this field of manufacturing of artisanry..

Remember, that you VOW that you will set up manufacturing, delegate a shop manager, and go into production. The power of selling an idea is your own belief in your own authenticity. Honor.
Then, you will set up EXPORT of these items to the HIGHEST DOLLAR/ EURO cities on the planet, finding department stores, boutiques, big corps that seek gorgeous, tasteful items. TO SELL AT TOP DOLLAR.
The inequality of coins assures profits. And paying top dollar or top yuan-- ensures that the most deserving workers are employed in these third world countries.
