First of all, let me start by saying I love staying at a nice hotel. Love it more when it is in NY; and thanks to Company's CC, we got a studio with a 'view'. Another 'perk' about this Hilton Hotel is the famous street food vendor next door. I swear they sell to over a thousand customers a day. We see a line (of around 30 people) every time we pass the place, even at 1am at night. Crazy huh? I wonder how much they make "$$". Ok, don't let this stop you from going to college.
Back to business... One of the biggest accomplishment this time was teaming up with a company called 'aboutArt'. We will be bring some of their clothing lines to our webstore soon. The lines are by young designers from Korea. Expect something fresh and different. I personally love every single piece. Quality is great and price point isn't too bad.
Now, meeting w/ Rebecca Minkoff was a awesome experience. We got to see her newly renovated showroom, and of course her upcoming collections. Can't give away too much... but look for the flower studds on her classics. It looks like my personal favor, the rocker, will be part of her classics (with all sort of fun details). AND we are working on store exclusives coming this Oct/Nov. We are so excited!
Then we went to COC's showroom. (COC reps for Botkier, Foley & Corinna, Kooba, Treejse, & Hayden Harnett etc..).. so sad that we missed the industry 'networking' party few days before. It was a choice between that and whole bunch of us going out that night. Of course, being me, play > work always! Oh well, not a big deal, my boss already knew that. Anyway, at the showroom, we got to meet the two Treesje designers and of course their collection for holiday/resort as well as spring 10. My favor for spring is their small cross-body quilted leather bag with studds. How amazing is that? Their small leather goods are also exciting. Perfect for X'mas gifts this year (hurry up, be my friend lol).
Colors... there are a lot of blues for the winter color this year. Kooba, especially, is coming out with this beautiful beautiful blue leather. The color is the PERFECT deep blue tone, and the texture is beyond amazing! My all time favor Kooba Sienna is making a return this holiday season. I've reserved one in Snake Skin for myself. Pre-sale soon available on our site. Hayden Harnett has a perfect work bag (Burke) for their Fall/Winter collection. Aubergine, and mixture of dark purple and plum, is my favor color for this bag!
