My Day as a Buyer!!!!! Ed Hardy

Last Thursday I went to London with my boss Keith from Richmond Classics to assist with the buying as Natalie was away on Holiday.

Let me tell you it was a fantastic day!!!!

We set off at 8am where Keith picked me up from my mums flat in Southbourne and drove to Southampton Airport Parkway where we got the train into Waterloo. (This may sound strange but Keith said he can't handle any longer than an hour on the train!! also they go more frequently?) Anyway, we arrived at waterloo at 10:10am and caught the Tube to Finsbury Park, where we had an 11am appointment for Ed Hardy.

We arrived at the station and took a short walk down this cobbled street to a dodgy looking carpark, here there was a random door which led to a random staircase and up to a looked door with a buzzer. As soon as the door opened I understood why the place had to be so secretive! The place was 'kitted' out with Ed hardy clothing with framed photographs of famous celebrities wearing previous garments hanging from the walls.

The Mens collection was in one room and the womens in another so I got to work and started picking out pieces I thought would sell in the shop.

To be honest there wasn't a huge amount to choose from as we had most of it in the shop already!












This we chose I it was quite a simple design (for Ed Hardy) so we thought it would shift easily in the shop.


















This hoody I thought was nice. Keith wanted to order it in a baby blue colour, but I thought this is much better as 'it would go' with a lot more.


























These tops will look wicked with leggings!!






We also chose an assortment of caps featuring these medium sized rhinestones. They come in various designs and colours.

We chose a few menswear items but I did not photograph these...

We finished at the Ed Hardy showroom just before 12 and headed back central for our appointment at 1pm at D&G.
