Fall is coming.

Well, production went off without a single hitch this season. The samples look perfect, the paperwork looks good, export was a cinch and the boat left on time. The pessimistic side of me is waiting for the bomb to drop but you know, it looks like everything is going to be textbook this year. We hired a new production manager named Yinyin Li who seems to have a really good grasp on sourcing both labor and textiles. She also acts as our export agent. Her experience really shows in the quality of the garments. I've never seen samples look so good. Thanks also to Wenjing, my "partner in crime", who found Li to begin with and is going to China in October to source more materials. She works her little butt off, that girl.
Here are a couple photos of samples I received last week.
Here is the knit cardigan, in cocoa



This is the Biella Wool Trench in black

Here are two possible homepages I created this morning. I think I'll use the second one.
