The Read | Behind the Business Poppy Barley Weekly 52 May 22, 2015 3-minute read From Edmonton to New York, Oakville and Toronto, it's been an exciting week filled with travel, meetings and popup shops... Early on in the week, Kendall and Justine spent two very exciting and exhausting days pitching press in NYC! This meant heading to the Condé Nast building (and for me, imaging all the amazing people who have walked through those doors!). This also meant hustling around the city by subway with our Summer Collection AND Fall Collection in a suitcase! Can't wait to share the results! (Come on, results!) After our Oakville popup yesterday, Kendall and Justine have our full collections on display at Brodawka & Friends on 1114 Queen Street West until 7pm tonight and from 10am-4pm tomorrow. Book your appointment - or just drop by! We need your help! Our women's line has been developing an audience for almost three years now, but with our men's line: we hardly know ye! So, next Wednesday in Edmonton, we're hosting an interactive branding party, called "The Measure of a Man", in partnership with Make Something Edmonton. There are only 20 spots open to the public. Here's how to nab a spot. We announced our Vancouver popup! We are taking over the Woodward's Storefront in Gastown (discovered through This Open Space - such a cool concept!) for five full days at the beginning of June. Book here. This is your last chance to enter our Letterpress Notecard contest with Uppercase Press! We know you're up for a road trip! Here's the update on product: From our Summer Collection: 5 Pairs Left | 18 Pairs Left | 6 Pairs Left | 15 Pairs Left | 10 Pairs Left From our Snakeskin Collection: 1 Pair Left | 1 Pair Left | 8 Pairs Left | 5 Pairs Left Summer can (and should) be impulsive. So, we've brought the most popular styles from our Summer Collection in stock in standard sizes (6.5 to 9.5). These shoes could be on your feet in a week. Our Fall Collection samples arrived last week. They are beautiful. Can't wait to share them with you! Here's the update on press: As always, thank you for sharing your photos with us on Instagram! Above, travel photographer @KirstenAlana wears her Foxhunt Boots in Black in Santiago. The Edmonton Examiner wrote a story about our transition from startup office to retail space on Whyte Avenue. On that note - come check it out tomorrow, we're open on Saturdays from 10am to 4pm! Bluboho interviewed Kendall and Justine about the early days of running a business (when they both used to hand-deliver orders to customers!) We're off to drink beer on the patio! Happy Friday!
