That store full of beautiful things, jewelry and clothing.
Well, of course that will not come naturally 🙂
Many of our suppliers come to show the latest collections with us and of course drink a cup of coffee.
In addition, we naturally also often go on the road ourselves. Most in the Netherlands, sometimes by appointment and sometimes at a fair. Every now and then we take the train or even the plane abroad. We always think it's great to get inspiration and see what is going to be a trend or finding new things.
But what does a purchasing trip actually look like now I hear you ask?
Most people always react very enthusiastically when you tell you that you are going on purchasing. Fun things! That is of course so, but the reality is often something else. It is always a race to do as much as possible in 1 day to get it out as much as possible.
If you come home in the evening, your toes are just raw sausages and you will be “cooked” but the next day the joy dominates again when you see the parcel deliverer again at the door and you “surprised” everything again is going to unpack. That always remains a party.
Well, our day had actually started the day before because we then drive to a hotel nearby in the evening. The day started again early with our 1st appointment at 8 hours. Here we went through the clothing per month what is coming in the coming period. And of course viewed and ordered the clothing collection for Spring Summer 2022.
And no, we don't reveal that yet !!!!!
Well ok a little bit then. We have ordered vests in the new colors again, the wrap dresses arrive in other prints and some new models. We have passed the jeans fittings again and made a selection of what we think that we (so) fits well with our customers. We have selected various clothing styles and then selected the prints of it that will be hanging in our store. And we like to make complete series so search for matching clothing. This is all going on for order.
Of course we need a lot of coffee here to stay alert (2x Cappu, 1 with sugar and 1 with milk)
We have been sweet for a whole morning with this. And no, that doesn't always happen automatically. You have to know that we have different flavors and occasionally be able to bicker about what is fun or just, really not. And we don't always agree. Which of course is also good, because that is why we have also sorted out different styles together
Anyways, everything has been purchased for the first quarter. After this quickly in the afternoon to the next suppliers. Together discuss what we are going to do. What colors are we going to do, what do we want to match. Can we find what we had in mind? Do we like the models, the colors good?
This way you are quickly a few hours further. Finally, we conclude with a piece of living stuff purchasing. Looking for the nicest, coolest living accessories. From pillow to candlestick and from vase to dress. We want to have everything matched nicely together and we are just like a bickling couple. You should see us once
Of course we also have to handle everything carefully and then the most difficult of everything; How do you get the bus fully loaded as efficiently as possible. Of course we want to load as many things as possible!
Somehow we always just manage, just, just. Sometimes it takes a while;)
Around 2300 we are back at home again. You understand that we naturally want to ensure that we have the nicest items in the store and the latest collections, but we also have a lot of fun and that should also be done if you have been stuck with each other for so many hours and have to make decisions.
We believe that we have done our best again to make the best selections for you and of course hope that you think about it that way. Will you let us know if you have any tips for us?
