Things have been fairly quiet at Jakeandmaya in the past 10 days, just catching up on e-mails and trying to finish our website mainly, so I can send our details to interested buyers.
However, had a very important meeting with a very important buyer today. Could not believe it when they contacted us a few days ago to set up a meeting ! To my relief, she was lovely to deal with and didn't make it too hard for us.
What she expertly picked out was in my/our opinion the strongest pieces and also the most "commercial". Talking to her about customers buying behaviour was not only interesting but also very useful. She was able to give us very good insight in what people buy and what they don't. Not that we want to design a collection that is entirely commercial but it is all very useful information.
Meeting was reasonably short and very to the point. She knew exactly what she wanted and that was it ... She will try out S/S2010 here in UK first and if it goes well, she will place us in other stores worldwide. So let's pray that it will all fly off the shelves !!!
Now just have to wait for their final order confirmation and in the meanwhile work on getting some other cool stores on board.
Watch this space !
PS. Bubble New York confirmed our stand for August today ! Look forward to testing the US market !
