No

@Giles How does that work with footwear?

[Giles]

If we have had to use them in such a way that they are damaged in any way, they go into the outlet

[Alex]

@Nik we have various pairs of studio footwear in sizes that fit all our models, basically

But this is true when we shoot new lines

[Nik]

Thanks @Alex and @Giles from that it sounds like you must have a kind of costume store of boots and clothing for when you do shoots so that the model can wear the new thing with older stock products? Just curious about how all that works, as a theatre person it makes me think of backstage business.

Pretty much mate, yeah

Today has been all about hemming with a sprinkling of a pleasing little repair job and some RE:LOVE cutting…

[Oaktavia]

@Lynne I love seeing process photos!

[Lynne]

@Oaktavia that’s good - there’ll be plenty of them!

[Mizmazzle]

@Lynne I’m curious about your sewing background. What led you to get tangled up with this lot of misfits??

[Lynne]

@Mizmazzle well, firstly, my husband’s one of them Steve then introduced me many years ago to Alex, Giles and Paula. What can I say - I simply fell in love with them, the brand, the business, the crew. And now a golden opportunity has arisen to develop my love of fabrics, sewing and new techniques. Hope you follow me as we develop RE:LOVE products embellished with IH art, sashiko…maybe even tattooing textiles.
With regards to my previous sewing, a post has just come up on Insta of one of my coats. This coat has a range of detachable collars and cuffs to dress it up or down. I love creating multi purpose and/or recycled products…can’t wait to show you what we’re doing!

@Lynne How exciting! Sounds great

[Mizmazzle]

@Lynne wow!! So you and Steve are just whipping up mad creations all the time?? What a fun passion to have. I’ll be sure to keep a watchful on your work. My wife is always wanting cool new pieces too. Lord knows she sees how Iron Heart has shaped my life. She’d love to find a designer with the same ethos that caters to women.

@Lynne I do believe that's my shirt I dropped off yesterday. Thank you. it's looking much better.

[Lynne]

@goldstone0 fab! The thread will soon blend in, but I do love a visible repair. Kintsugi sprang to mind when I sewed your little golden stitches.

[Lynne]

@Mizmazzle how about a denim RE:LOVE mini skirt…? I’ve been thinking of things to make with this

[Lynne]

@long_john86 thank you!

[goldstone0]

@Lynne Delivered to my door less than 48 hours after dropping it off. Thank you and thanks @Bailey for organising. Legendary customer service.
