SS2011 Collection Photoshoot

Doing photo-shoots with temperamental toddlers can sometimes be tricky and trying to do so in a candy store can only matters worse !
Started off well but progressively, as they demanded more and more candy, things got a bit more tricky.....
There were lots of dribbles, lots of tears and lots of tantrums .... but we did manage to get some good pics before all the sugar turned them into uncontrollable little terrors !




Ps. Thank you Mr Simms Olde Sweet Shop in Hampstead for providing us with a fantastic location. The staff were all very friendly and extremely helpful. Thank you !

Jakeandmaya in Japan

After a lot of encouragement from our Japanese customers, we have finally decided to expand to Japan.
We are rather thrilled about this decision, as Tokyo after all is the fashion capital of Asia. Great city , great sense of style and great people.

Collezioni 03 Baby

Every now and then, we come across nice features about Jakeandmaya in the press and that always brings a huge smile to our faces, especially when our pieces are featured in gorgeous photos like this one. Stunning !

Thank you Collezioni 03 Baby !

Evening Standard Magazine Feature

Look what we accidentally came across today ! :-)

New Website Coming !

Websites and web-design is one of the things that I always hired people to do for me because I am not very technical and seems awfully complicated.

However, after a couple of failed attempts working with web-designers and developers I decided to give it a go myself.

I mean, can't really get that much worse than what we previously had, right ? Anyway, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. At least I have tried !

To my surprise, I love what I have created (with help with a template found online). Nice, simple and clear.... exactly what I asked for before but didn't get !

I still need to add some final details and tweek a few images this weekend, before putting it live. Can't wait !

Ps. In the meanwhile, our current website is for trade only so you need to send me an e-mail at info@jakeandmaya.co.uk to receive the password.

Bubble London is in a couple of days

Oh dear, Bubble London is in a couple of days !!!
Should I be panicking ?! Probably yes !
How did this happen ??? I was so well organized this season ! Had all the samples made very early on.... but little did I know how unreliable and untrustworthy people can be !

Now with only days until the show, the collection samples are nowhere near finished, the stand not yet designed and I am starting to get a bit stressed, which is exactly what I wanted to avoid by starting the collection early..... Argh !

Anyhow, I have to remain calm to make sure everything gets done and try not to panic.... It will all be fine ! Right ?

Do please come by and see us..... whether we will have our collection samples to show you or not !

Ps. And if you mention my this blog, I may even give you some extra "lovehearts".

Our first feature in Japanese Publication.

Look what Helen, a fellow Tokyo Playtime exhibitor sent through to me today ! A very nice surprise.
I can't understand a word of what it says but still...
Our first feature in a Japanese publication. May there be many more to come !

PS. Our S/S2010 is due to arrive. First shipment is due to be going to Harvey Nichols in London early next week. Very exciting in deed. Full stockists list will be posted soon.
