Update on our Work List

We have spent most of the day working on a plan to catch up on our current orders.

  • Orders that were on our work list for the week of Sept 8-12 were completed today (thanks to my awesome seamstress', who came in even though their homes still have no power <3>
  • Orders that are on our work list for this week - Sept 15-19 will begin production tomorrow. My dedicated team will come in this weekend so we can hopefully get these orders completed and shipped out by Monday or at the latest on Tuesday. This is just an estimate and we hope you will bare with us as we do our very best to get back on schedule over the next couple of weeks.

Our clean up process from the water damage will continue through out the coming weeks and possible months as the ceilings and walls in some rooms will have to be replaced (and of course the roof). Thankfully the rooms effected were contained to our Showroom/foyer, packaging room and my office (south side - which took the direct hit from Ike). None of our machines, inventory or fabrics were compromised. We took extra caution when securing these items during our evacuation and were all on the north end of the building.

Considering all the work that is ahead of us, we are trying to focus our time at the machines to complete orders. We apologize for the emails that receive a generic response redirecting them to the blog. For those with specific questions, we are still working on returning emails. If you have sent a message and do not receive a response back by Friday, Sept 19 - Please resend your email. Our phone lines continue to be down (could be the tree laying across some lines that lead to our building :P ). We will update again when these lines are back up.

I cannot thank everyone enough for their prayers, thoughts and understanding during this time. I'll share some local photos of the aftermath soon. Just the short drive to our studio makes the hair on my neck stand up. It's amazing what Mother Nature's fury can do.
