Having left London in the pouring rain we arrived in New York greeted by high 80s temperatures.

We were in New York to show at The Collective for the first time. It was hard to judge the reaction we would receive from the many retailers attending the show.On the Monday our feet hardly touched the ground, it seemed to be the watchbands that were catching peoples attention along with the array of cotton socks. We stock over 70 different pairs. I don't think anyone has yet bought the whole range; I don't really want to lay down the challenge! (but could put an offer on if anyone does?!)

It was very good to meet so many different people, not only from the US, we also had customers from as far as Chile and Japan. We will hope to see you all again at The Collective in January 2009.

We arrived back to a very hot London but that has been short lived! It has been great to catch up with many of the people we met at the show and look forward to talking to more of you over the coming weeks.
