Visitor time in My Dublin Showroom
The last week in the showroom was a very busy one. Fantastic new holiday samples arrived from Yummie Tummie just in time for the press day in Brown Thomas next week. Orders came in nice and steady and I’m noticing that they are getting bigger. Some agents in the business dictate minimum orders from retailers. This is something I have never done, prefering to build a business slowly and letting the customer decide.
I also interviewed several interns for Heidi Higgins and this was something that was both interesting and uplifting. Fashion students came with their portfolios, their samples and their dreams. The chance to work with Heidi is of course a fantastic opportunity for a fashion student who aspires to work their way into the real business of fashion. I loved them all, their passion, their hard work and their obvious talent. I wish I could have offered all of them positions but alas there is only one for now at least. I’m pretty sure Heidi has the right student and that it will be a mutually beneficial Summer Internship.
Also into the showroom came Louise O’Leary who makes the Loulloubelle range of handcrafted leather bags. I promised her I would take a critical look at them and give my honest opinion. The leather is sumptuous and the very best quality. Each bag is a limited to 100 pieces and is hand dyed using tradition techniques that are not only the best, but ethically sound. I absolutely love the big bag and I suggested that I would love a smaller version with a shoulder strap?
