Wednesday

Yeah hump day again! This morning Britt "manufacturing/design assistant" and I worked in the design room which is at the same location as the showroom. The design room and showroom are at a different location separate from the offices and the Bondi store. Since Britt will be joining Camilla on her overseas trip in India I helped her pack all the sample pieces that she is taking to India. This is the India trip that I helped in organizing weeks prior. The majority of the Camilla garments are manufactured in India, so Britt needs to take all the sample pieces with her for the new first ever winter collection. Typically Camilla has only done resort, holiday, & Summer 1,2,3. So this new collection that they will be monitoring the production on in India will be the first winter collection. I also worked on cross referencing design images for the cut, print, and embellishment references that will be used for the new collection. The design images and the sample garments is what Britt will be using to show the manufacturers in India as examples of what she wants for the winter collection. After packing all the garments that needed to be taken with Britt we realized that the suitcase was 21 kilograms over the weight limit. So then I had to unpack half of the suitcase and ship the remainder in a box through Harrison Logistics. Harrison is the freighting company that Deva and I had met with a few weeks prior for better international shipping. Just like yesterday I had to compile an invoice for the sample garments for customs use only to include with the shipment. After the box was shipped off to India I worked with Britt in making changes to the India schedule that we had made weeks ago. The specific changes that we made to the trip should make it run smoothly.
