Day 3

Today I took the samples which I had been preparing for the new collection and selected the pain that would go where the seams were to match or contrast with the leather or skins. Then we had to get them approved by the head designer Bruce. Then I went upstairs to help out with assembling boxes for purses and labeling them to be shipped.  Then once the ceo was free he explained to us the programming that the company uses to sort their products and design the colors and ship the special orders.  Then we did some of the sample orders imputing them into the computed checking to see if they had been cut and assembled already. 

Today was a short day because I had class in the afternoon but I mostly helped in the workshop assembling the samples with thread options for the new materials in the spring summer 2013. Then I went upstairs and helped with packaging the handbags to be shipped.

Internship day one!

Yesterday was my first day at VBH. I started off learning a little bit about what the company is doing at the time which is a lot of excel work that is how the manage all of the orders for their new handbags. Then we went into the production area and cut pieces of samples of the materials needed for each bag so that the makers now what material to make the bag out of.  The work environment is a huge change I am used to being in stores with customers and now im in the production factory. Most of handbag makers don’t speak any English so that is hard but the people I worked with today speak English.
