Laurie Hopkins Menswear Blog

Having just returned from a nice sunny break in Tenerife, Jayne was filling me in on what has been happening whilst I was away. She mentioned that whilst phoning one of our suppliers, (Douglas & Grahame who produce the Douglas range, DG ranges, Cruise and Wellington ranges) they mentioned that they had seen this Menswear Blog!!

So, it would appear that its not only Laurie and Jayne who read my posts on Menswear but some of our suppliers are starting to take an interest also.

With this in mind, I would like to say hello to the boys and girls at Douglas and Grahame, in particular the sales team who are amongst some of the best in the country - thanks for all your help, particularly when we ring up and say - ‘I have a customer who is looking for a brown trouser, do you have such a thing’ and who then have to describe around 10 different style of trousers, shades and variations. Thank you for being so patient with us!!

First, let me apologise for not posting on the blog for a while, its been very busy time here at Laurie Hopkins Menswear.

Last week saw the arrival of many reps and agents with their Spring Summer 2009 collections (I will post later about these ranges), many of these agents carry more than one companies ranges and as you can imagine, it can get quite hectic when you are looking at 3-4 ranges on a morning and then others in the afternoon.

However, not content with looking at ranges last week we also were a member of staff down as Jayne took a few (Very well earned) days off. We were also busy in the shop as our sale is coming to an end and the New Autumn/Winter 08/09 ranges flood in.

One day last week, we took delivery of over 100 pairs of trousers, 120 shirts and knitwear as well as over 50 Suits, Jackets and Overcoats - that was a busy day I can tell you.

I have taken a few photos of the new ranges along with the buying etc and I will post them later this week, so keep coming back and having a look at our blog.
