There’s been a lot going on behind the scenes at LKL over
the past few months, it’s affected a few things, including your orders, so we wanted to make sure
that you all knew what had been going on and had an idea of what was to come
and what we’re working on.
We had a lovely little boutique in the heart of Bristol,
which we sadly had to shut at the end of November. We’re a much stronger brand
online and the boutique was sadly quite restrictive on what we could do with
our time. Now we’re back to being based in a studio we have a lot more time to
get back to what we love doing, designing great clothes.
As we were shutting the shop and moving to the studio, our
restock on our jeans was late. This was due to an issue in our supply chain
which we now understand and have made sure we work around and allow time to
stop there being a negative impact on deliveries.
Then it was
Christmas.
And then…..we
went to India!
You see, previously all
of Lady K Loves clothing has been made in the UK. We felt really passionately
that the quality and ethics were easier to manage producing in the same country
as us. However we came across an option to work with a fair trade factory in
India, which had been visited and vetted by a trusted friend. So we went over
to check it out. In the two weeks we were there, we visited fabric suppliers,
sourced some wonderful fabrics and prints, visited the factory, had samples
made and fell in love with the wonderful kind people who worked there. The
factory is very nice, we’ll be more tell you more about it soon, but
rest assured we’re more than satisfied with the conditions the staff there work
in.
We also snuck a couple of days off in this beautiful beach in Goa, for a much overdue break.
While we were there,
we discovered that the internet connection out there is not what we’re used to
in the UK. We had so many issues trying to be contactable and getting to our
emails, so, we’re making sure that we take on a member of staff to train them
up and make sure that the level of customer service you get is consistent. This
is really important as we know how hard it can be buying online and we want to
make it was easy as possible.
We’ve also
kicked off a restock of our sold out sizes of Classic and Hug Me Baby jeans
which are ready to order now with and ETA of 7th March. We have confirmation
that the fabric is at the factory and production has started so this date
shouldn’t slip.
Other than
that, we can’t wait to show you all of the wonderful things that will be in
stock soon. LKLx
