Hi,

Baukjen here. Apologies for not blogging as much recently but it has been busy here. The pre-ordering of the first part of the Autumn/Fall collection of 365 collection has been far more succesful than our expectations. The cape has such a big waiting list, we are so glad we included this piece as it's one of our favourites and obviously of our customers too. Already we have had to increase our factory orders for some pieces which is great news.

We have just finished a maternity sale which created a huge volume of orders whilst the 365 sale that is taking place now on selected pieces has created record 365 orders. So all good news.

In the meantime, Vanessa and I have been working on the Spring Summer collection of 2010. This is one of the best parts of our jobs and it is very difficult to edit down the styles and colour ways. We think they will be a big success though, as always, time will tell.

There is a tube (subway) strike here in London for two days which will cause headaches for all to commute to and from work. The weather is dreadful, we are all cold. There were pictures in the news of certain areas in the UK being covered in snow. It is supposed to be close to summer here. But the atmosphere is good, everyone seems in high spirits and that's what's important.

Hoping you are in warmer climates, Baukjen
