Not just making tea

Today I got to spend time in the swatches room sorting out and going through the old seasons swatches tiding it all up and putting it into black sacks to be thrown away. 

Its surprising how many different types of fabric is looked at for just the menswear and for one season. It makes you realise how much hard work and how many different options are looked at before the final designs are sorted and produced. 

I also sorted out the masses of hangers kept in the design studio. The 3 big boxes under the table I sorted into mens, women's and plastic hangers. All Saints like to have wooden hangers and these are also good to use when pressing garments, but they also have some smarter grey plastic hangers that are normally used in store. 

My aim was to reduce the amount and repack some to be sent back to the warehouse. I ended up with one box of wooden hangers for women, men and one full of trouser hangers and plastic hangers. The rest just about fit into a box to be sent off.
