The Opening Weekend

Friday, 18th of June, 11am - we arrived in the Loft to set up our section and get ready for our first day of trading. Then, when 12 bells arrived the doors were opened and we were officially open for business selling our ladies t-shirts to the world at large.

We were full of nerves at the start. It is a very different realm from what we are used to with online sales and social media and what not. Interfacing with customers in "real life" is a different type of animal. It will take us a while to perfect the art but all in all we enjoyed our opening weekend. The other traders in the Loft are all very friendly and there is a huge variety of items available - you have to come in to see :)

We have a collection of pictures which you can see on our facebook fanpage if the pictures included here aren't enough for you. If you are in Dublin and reading this we'd love to see you...call into us :) We're open from 12 to 6 on Friday and Sunday and 11 to 6 on Saturday...
