Day 3 of Fashion Show/Trade Show

Early morning went to a Mall outlet where there was a special promotion for clothing items at a very reasonable price. I bought a few items to test the market to see if anyone would be interested in buying Colombian clothing. I bought a few women and men products to see if the size conversion is the equal to Canadian sizes. I have concluded, yes for depending on the items. The styles are very trending and I would only get my hands are the prefect outfit, the best size and price. There is a great opportunity to sell it here in Canada and it will compliment the jeans.
The Colombian brand is very similar to well known brands such as Abercrombie, Hollister, American Eagle, Pink from Victoria’s Secret. They sell jeans, shirts, tees, tanks, boardshorts, underwear, dresses, sweaters, jackets and accessories. It was one of the highlights of the trip. I want to return back next year for more promotions items.
I saw an amazing opportunity.

In the afternoon I was at trade show again and there I meet some more suppliers.
I was now at the last section of the trade show where there was a lot manufactures that designed lingerie and swim wear. I am thinking of heading this direction as my next choice of product in the near future. I opened my eyes to new ideas and made a lot of contacts. Stayed to the end of the event. Went to an expensive mall to look at stores and noticed a lot of America stores during the evening. Found a potential supplier that might be interest for Notice Me Jeans.
Made an appointment with them. They manufacture butt-lifting jeans.

The evening, my cousin drives me in her motorcycle to one of her friend's place.
We arrive and the security guard greets us at the gates and buzzes the resident to advise we have arrived for a visit.
While waiting for her friend to pick us up at the entrance, I asked security if I can use his washroom. He gave me permission. I found my first encounter with a Colombia raffle in the washroom behind the door. I took pictures of it and video tape it. It was excited to tell story.
