Galna Dagar

Hecticness has just reached a whole new level! Due to some changes in staffing, and the Crazy Days (Hullut Päivät/ Galna Dagar) days at the showroom have become longer and there's a lot more rush and running around like headless chickens. Last week we started preparing for the packing of the collections. This ment taking out the carry over-and PR styles. This week we have been packing away pretty much over two-thirds of the brands and collections we have. Oh and counting... So much fun! Not. A little FIY: the Crazy Days are held at the Stockmann department stores (to those of you who live in Denmark, it basically is the Finnish version of Illum).

Anyways, after these long long days of packing and counting and running around I am more than pleased to catch a fligth tomorrow (15.40 to be exact) to nowhere else than the lovely COPENHAGEN! Can't wait to see everyone and party like we've never partied before.

I wish everyone a happy, good and love filled weekend and I'll let the pictures do the talking! ;)

Inevitable change

Yes, I guess its time for me to finally switch to a touchscreen phone. Something I've been dreading for years, but the fact is my Nokia is just not keeping up with the world and technology. And I'm being a cheapass scrooge and won't pay 400 euros for a damn phone.

Anyways, here are the pics from monday, and my "id" card from the fair. This is definetely ending up on my "memory wall" when I get back home to CPH. ;)

The lovely Friis&Co room (and not so lovely Nokia)

 Loads of love from this God forsaken rainy place!

Hecticness

Hello hello hello, the past two weeks have been really hectic, and the next few are gonna be just as hectic. I've been busy with everything; keying orders before deadlines (YIKES), picking out PR stuff (SO HARD!), cleaning, packing away old collections and making room for the new ones, staying in touch with the new customers we got from the fair, trying to agree on payment&shipment things.. And the list goes on and on...

Anyways, thought I would start by sharing a few pictures from today, but my Nokia is being a pain in the ass, so we'll skip straight to the shoe fair! It was an amazing opportunity and a wonderful experience, at least for me. It did get a bit boring at times, I mean who likes sitting on their butts doing nothing for hours, and then have a lot of customers come in at the same time, all wanting to place an order and asking questions about the freight costs and where the leather is imported from and about the assortment sizes and what not. For a first time I think we did pretty damn well! 99% of the meetings we had agreed on actually took place. It was also interesting to see how fast word actually travels, and how well everyone knows each other in the shoe business. By Sunday we were known as the place where you could get the cutest and wildest bags(Friis&CO) and the brightest and cutest sneakers (Keds) from.

Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of the actual hotel, where the fair "arena" was actually located in. The hotel was really nice, and I gotta admit my inner child got out every night after 7 when I went to the waterpark(!!!). Only bad thing was we didn't have a proper, wholebody mirror ANYWHERE! Major minus!

Our "showroom" was located on the second floor(which was circuling the "arena"). Great view and Sherlock Holmes mode on. Now here's some pictures from the Griffin&Co room ;)
