Albam Eastern outpost opening 29.10.09

For those following the blog and in London next Thursday we are having our official opening of our new store.

If you can make it come over for 7pm! It would be great to see you.

Albam FACTORY - John Spinks

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.

NEW STORE DETAILS!

All this time that we have been preparing the new store and I have forgotten to say where it is! Below are the details and thanks Dave for reminding me! Website is being updated shortly aswell, that will also be expanding.

See you there!

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)

A little puzzle!

Adult style meccano and no simpler to put up. I have realised that my strength is not rail engineering.

Mr Holden.

For those of you who have been into Beak Street at a weekend you might have met Mr Holden or David to the close.

He is the new man of Albam and is the man around 111A Commercial Street. Looking rather comfortable behind the new hotseat!

Welcome David and thanks for your pretty tireless work over the last two weeks.

Now it gets a bit more interesting!

The new store has been in a state of nearly "nearly there" for a few days. Hidden workings with white paint and electrics gave way to some serious breakthroughs! Lights, rails, curtains units, cash desk. Now we are just nearly there!

Denim denim denim

More denims on there way and and two new fits coming in about 14 days. Keep the eyes peeled.
