Final stint before the great trip

In for the last time this year to one of our factories before they pack up for a 4 week train journey across India! This time of year factories come into their own, it was a really cold day when I dropped by, but the light was super clear.

New Jeans fit are in

A few posts ago I wrote about our new jeans fits. Well they are in the store and online and they have been pretty well received. Based on what you have suggested we have released two new fits so you can just get the basis of the fit you want and if needs be they can be taken in as some of you like to do.

The two new fits are :

SLIM LEG (520) - Our slimmest fit based on the Regular Leg style with more taken out through the leg to finish at a hem of 7". If you want a skinny/close fit then go for these. To balance the shape the rise has been reduced by approx 2cm.

REGULAR LEG (521) - Our all round jean. Sits comfortably on the hips, tapers through the leg to the ankle with a 7.5" hem. Can be sized up or down depending on how you slim you like your jeans to fit.

Pictured are the Regular Leg Jean in the my waist size. These were tried on where they are made so excuse the lack of picture quality!

Back to work!

Parties are over, and now it is back to work! New styles for February deliveries and onwards. Little tweaks are being made and things are coming together quite nicely.

29th October - Thanks to all that came!

Well last night came and was seemingly well received. Thanks to everyone that came and showed support.

Como Lago - Lake Como for the weekend

The weekend just gone was a good time to get on a plane and head over to see my other half. Como, amazing. The shops were good in an Italian way but the scenery was better, super close to the mountains and some of the best climbing you can shake a stick at. Well worth a trip for a mix of culture, coffee and just getting away.

The final push!

We wanted to get the store open and then we can see how the space works, what we need to do to make it an Albam space. So the 1st October was our deadline, just under two weeks of hard work, doing things that we didn't think we could do, but here it is the final push to the opening. No fanfare just quietly open the doors and let people find us.

The Day before the opening

I am a couple of days behind on the updates as I left my laptop charger in the office. This is from the day before we opened (we opened on the 1st October)
