LILLY BIRD

We have been busy every day doing things from sewing on buttons,grading/cutting/marking patterns, we went to the CMT where they delivered patterns and showed us how they work.(Very different to us:)

We had a talk where they explained how their company works and all the different departments and how they got to where they are today.(They shared as much as how scary their first meeting  with YDE was)

What i love a lot about these labels is that their garments are 70% South African produced and only 20 % could be out sourced Internationally. This is a rule YDE is very strict with.

This is just a brief overview but i will keep you all updated on my every day experiences.

Have to go to bed.I HAVE SOME LEARNING TO DO TOMORROW:)

HATS HATS HATS AND MORE HATS

After the royal wedding we were all blown away by all the amazing hats that was worn that day.As you might know the Durban July is around the corner and their theme is a RIGHT ROYAL AFFAIR ,so for a project we had to design a few hats we thought could be worn at the July this year.

SWING TAGS.

  

We had to create swing tags for our final collection that we are working on at the moment and my collection is called "Birds of Paradise" so for my swing tags i tried to incorporate the bird of paradise feel. I made 3 but my final one is the green one.
