Sold!

We've just started market, but received our first confirmed order of the season! Cara and her mum from C. See Boutique came by for an appointment. Usually stores will take notes on what they like in an appointment but won't send in their purchase order until after they've had a chance to see their other lines and assess their budgets. Especially now, in this economy, stores are being more cautious than ever and taking their time writing orders, but the lovely ladies from 
C. See just left us our first sale for F09! 

Completely unrelated to how we feel about their great order, they are 2 of the coolest, cutest buyers we know. Cara, who I met for the first time last season always has on something covetable. Last time she saw the line, I was obsessing over her Chloe boots. I had borrowed the same style from a friend for my look book shoot 2 weeks prior to meeting Cara and no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't work them into the shoot. They just never quite worked. But they totally worked with Cara's upscale rock chick look. This time, she was wearing a knitted Temperely dress covered in sew-on snaps - so simple but so cool....a little fetishy, but less obvious than studding. See below, some pictures from our appointment.
