Hometown Love!!!

I just delivered an order to Carlton, my hometown, and I am so stoked!!!

It seems like my hometown is growing up with me. When I lived there it was really a little farming town, but now it's an Oregon wine tasting mecca. 

There are now restaurants, wineries, and of course a little boutique.

I.M.R. Boutique is in a cute little cottage on Main St. They cater to both the locals, and tourists with price points from under $10. And they have Plus sizes. And everything in the shop is Made in the USA!!! 

So much Winning!

Here is a Hubris Apparel dress - now available at IMR, paired with a Carla Fox Necklace. I love it.

and one last one

S.W.A.G. tradeshow!!!

Yeah!! We went to SWAG earlier this week. It's a professional trade show up in Seattle, that connects wholesale designers ( Hubris Apparel) with buyers from stores in the region. It was pretty cool.

Our Sales Rep, Alisa Sloan of Cabana Reps, is a champ!! She actually broke her foot just a day before the show- but still packed up and drove all the way to Seattle. I decided to go up on Monday to check out the show, (I had never been to one,) and help her out if she needed to take a break, but she was totally fine- taking orders with an ice pack on her foot! She's kinda Amazing.

I learned a lot by going - all about signage and displays; and how awkward I am talking to strangers. EEK!

I finally met a couple of Boutique owners and Designers that I have worked with/around, but had never had the chance to meet, placed a few orders, and scheduled a trunk show at Sassafras up in Seattle for June 1st. 

All in all- a productive day, even without doing any sewing. 

The Other Hales- an article by Marjorie Skinner for The Mercury

Here is a great article about Nancy Hales, first lady of Portland, and her passion for supporting locally made apparel and goods.
It's inspiring to see a public figure directly support the local manufacturing and design economy of their region.  And she's pictured in Hubris Apparel!!!
