Our fabulous pattern maker
Well, it was time to bid a fond farewell to Hong Kong, at least for a few months. Paul and I and our hardworking staff have put together some pretty spectacular items for next season! Our patternmaker does a great job! (That is him standing over his work table.) I want to share a couple of photos we snapped before leaving – including us enjoying some cake at the factory. (more…)
