What’s a typical day in the life like for you?
I get up at 7am, check email in bed (so bad I know), breakfast and ready by 9am. Between 9 and 12pm I catch up on orders, pack & ship. If it’s a heavy production time, I’m running around the garment district in the afternoon between my factory, the leather smith, and suppliers, thank goodness they are within block of each other..
If it’s a great day I can fit in some time for yoga, I’m working on how to do that daily. The day is peppered with lots of email responses, lots of time spent on the train and I’m usually drinking my lunch (the juice kind, not the gin kind J) and I attempt to wind down by the end of the night for at least a few hours before I do it all again tomorrow.
