Last week was a roller coaster-ride for us. On the day our first batch was ready, a magnitude 7.2 earthquake struck Bohol and Cebu. All members of the OH, LOVE team have family and friends in both provinces, so our excitement from finally having our shoes ready turned into grief. Two of our team members, in fact, lost their home.
We cancelled our (simple) launch and online announcement. It took us days before we posted our first picture -- our little way of saying we were ready to sell. And even though we were treading softly in social networks, we received a good response. Orders came pouring in and we sold out almost everything in a week. We were all so grateful and inspired by the raves we got from those who tried our shoes.
And we got featured at
The Bright Spot!
Thank you, Leah! We are mighty glad you love our shoes!
We are learning a lot from the first collection. We've made silly mistakes along the way. We are just lucky that we are surrounded by the most supportive family and friends who constantly give us encouragement and good advice.
It was a good first run. Big thank you to everyone who bought our shoes and to those who wished us luck and success!
First Love in Blue.
