We had not brought with us a lot of props for the show but thanks to the kindness of Barbara, The director of North American Bear Company, who lent us some gorgeous stuff, we managed to put together a rather cool stand (I think anyway...).
The show as a whole was very nice. The venue (Cedar lake) was very cool and atmosphere was great. It was very calm and relaxed ... unlike some other shows that tend to get a bit manic. I am still in two minds about whether that is a good thing or not. Sometimes it did seem a bit too quiet but then at the same time, the quality of buyers were good so does it matter if traffic is not huge ?
We had a lot of interest from the press during the show. A lot of buyers (including some "important" ones) also came by and really liked our collection. Not many orders were placed during the show but we then had quite a few promising enquiries/orders since !
And guess what ?! Due to the success we have had during Bubble London and Bubble New York, we have managed to negotiate lower production costs with our factories. We can now offer all our products at 20% lower price !!! This is great for our future retailers, cause they can now be a bit more flexible with their mark-up and hopefully achieve better sales.
We are currently in conversation with some very cool stores but I better wait until everything is confirmed before revealing it all.....
