lala moon update

It is incredible how ideas evolve..when I started this blog I was very much thinking to produce a range of baby clothes (see below).

Yet over the weeks, as I tweek and think about the business plan/model more I am realizing that perhaps initially the way forward is to source and sell products already made and that the production of my own range of house hold goods etc is more long term..Realistically, I think this is how I am going to move forward. Manufacturing a quality product takes time and money.. but I am determined to get there. .. it is exciting but also very, very daunting.

But backtracking just a little... back in late Jan I started the process of designing the baby clothes collection and well finally, the long awaited samples have arrived.

Ok, so perhaps 'collection' is taking it a little too far, as at the moment there are only 4 items in the 'collection' but you have to start somewhere!

My initial thoughts...umm, positive but there is room for improvement! 1 x dress is a no go - the style just doesn't work in silk. You should have seem the expression on my face when I saw it - urghhhhh!

Of course, I am disappointed but again I have to remember that this is all about experimentation. Some things will work, others will not.

Yesterday, I shared the items with a group of friends with babies and their feedback was good and positive Soooo...it is onwards and upwards!! When in India I will do the adjustments and hopefully come the end of May they will be READY!

My photos are terrible - but any feedback would be great - do you like the bombachas?? and the dress?? The idea is to make them from silk and for sure the bombacha will be suitable for boys too..
