• Full Speed 21st Jan 2011

  The delay in writing this blog is a clear sign that 2011 started as it means to go on, at full speed!

  After a fantastic winter wonderland over Christmas with our family back in Holland, skating on the frozen lakes and canals, Nicky and I returned fresh eyed and bushy tailed to kick start the new year off in style.

  And it certainly has. Only 4 weeks in and the Christmas Dutch-Fest seems like a misty dream already. Not that I’m complaining, we’ve had a great start for Millican.

  New retail partners are coming on board, with MacDonald Hotel, Aviemore, Scotland and Pure Indulgence in the South West recently signing up for Spring 2011, in addition to Revolve Clothing in the USA, in Hollywood no less.

  In the last few weeks, Millican hitched a ride with local adventure travel specialist KE Travel to The Outdoor Show in London, while Joe the iPad Cover has been starring in The Times Style Magazine, Home and Country and DJ magazine. Meanwhile, Guardian’s Kim Lomax tagged Millican as “bang on trend” in her Fashion Statement “10 new trends”

  I’ve just returned from a very exciting trip to see Henry and his team in our factory, to finalise details on our new products for 2011 – several new shoulder bags, a dome-shaped rucksack, a canvas suitcase and various protective canvas/wool covers for laptops and cameras.

  New Dome rucksacks, yet to be named.

  Not bad in just 4 weeks…
