LIVE SHOW TRANSCRIPT

Jade: Wait, I think this is—one second—I think we're having technical difficulties on Instagram. We won't do that sound again.

Yas: Do it again. Do it for real.

(Sound effects play)

Jade: Not that one.

Eloise (Off-Camera): You are live on Instagram now, please!

Jade: We are live! We are live on Instagram now.

Yas: Hello please. And is it the House of Valerie Instagram?

Jade: It’s the House of Valerie Instagram. I can’t do it until she’s done the noise because I’m prepared for the noise.

Yas: All right. Okay. Ready? So once again, please...

(Bells and sound effects play)

Jade: Hello ladies of Crewe, Cheshire... Crewe?

Yas: Nantwich.

Jade: Nantwich. The world. Hello the world! Welcome to this episode of the news in Nantwich with Jade—me, Jade Kotowski—and my colleague here, Yasmin Bircham-Hamidi.

Yas: You forgot to shuffle your papers.

Jade: Oh! Important.

(Jade shuffles and slaps papers on the desk)

Jade: Oh, I wish I had glasses for this moment. Good evening, ladies. Tonight, we’ll be deep diving into the three collections of RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE, RUNDHOLZ DIP, and RUNDHOLZ BLACK LABEL to bring you the best picks of the season.

Yas: Usually, we spend an hour on each collection. We have one hour available to go through all three. So, we thought we’d come live tonight a little bit differently and just let you ask your questions, because there’s been many. We’ve been inundated with questions.

Jade: And I believe one has come in from somewhere over the UK? Yeah. Please.

Eloise (Off-Camera): Angel Vintage says, "You both look incredibly serious."

Jade: Absolutely. RUNDHOLZ is taken incredibly seriously by many throughout the land and we must respect that at all times. So, where shall we begin?

Yas: I think we should start with my favorite, RUNDHOLZ DIP. Ta-da!

(Yas holds up a photo)

Yas: Usually what we normally do is have a little flick through the lookbook to begin, and normally you’d have your lookbook at home. But I can confirm they have been dispatched today. So, we’re going to—if you do want to browse the lookbook, you can browse it on the website. They’re all available as digital copies. And yeah, we’re just going to flick through it here. So hopefully, if you—once you’ve received your lookbook or you’ve browsed the digital version, you can go back to this and have a little look.

Jade: Use FLASH.

Yas: Jade’s lost it.

Jade: Jade has lost it, yeah. But they’re very strong images. Very hard to see from all the way over here. Have a little look online. If you go to our journal or the blog on the website, you’ll see all three collections in HD pixel.

Jade: Ooh! That’s good. She does look like a bit 3D, actually.

Yas: Yeah.

Jade: Is that because of your new laptop?

Yas: Maybe. Yas has had a present. It sounds like we have a new laptop. Oh, that’s my favorite. It’s very romantic, isn’t it?

Jade: Very romantic. I think it’s a little bit gypsy inspired. It feels a little bit Romany. It’s very difficult to view like this.

Yas: Well, I’ll go.

Jade: I don’t think we need to look through the pictures.

Yas: No. Just giving you a flavor.

Jade: Yeah, just giving you a flavor.

Yas: Yeah. What I would like to talk about though is our highlights of the collection and the different groups and what our thoughts are on those. Should we start with the denim group from RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE because that was one of our favorites?

Yas: Oh, we’re going to RUNDHOLZ DIP from—RUNDHOLZ DIP to RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE. Oh sorry, no. Sorry, sorry, sorry. You mean the denim group from RUNDHOLZ DIP?

Jade: No, I didn’t. I meant my RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE, but we can start at the denim group of RUNDHOLZ DIP though, can't we?

Eloise (Off-Camera): I might shuffle you in. We have a question. Would you like to—?

Yas: I’m just moving you closer.

Jade: Yeah, let’s answer the questions. All at once at the end?

Eloise (Off-Camera): No.

Yas: No. Shoot them out. Because it’ll help us direct where this is going, because as you can see, we have no idea. We're making it up as we go along, as per usual.

Eloise (Off-Camera): Mandy says, "So then, RUNDHOLZ DIP SEAWEED, which images are the most accurate representation? Anywhere from GREY to GREEN, so a bit tricky to see which pieces work together please."

Yas: Let me check this. So, for the linen—no, sorry—for the silk jumpers and cardigans. So like this piece here. I will give you a code in a second. It's a cardigan, isn't it?

Jade: There's a cardigan. It's the classic silk jumpers that we've seen from previous Spring Summer collections. They've brought that fabric back, obviously in the new colours. And the code for the jumper is 2650704. That's the jumper. And then there's a cardigan which is here, code 2657107. This is SEAWEED.

(Yas shows laptop screen)

Jade: I don't think it looks that accurate.

Yas: If you go to SEAWEED, I think it does.

Jade: From memory, it's like this.

Yas: It's like that. Yeah, the other one isn't as GREEN as that. It's like that. But that's the—what the silk is coming out as. It is kind of—it's deep GREENY TEAL-Y.

Jade: I would say that's quite a dark colour, quite a deep colour, and it is in the silk knits, but it's actually a lot lighter in some of the other pieces where it becomes, you know, where it's in the print. SEAWEED print, this one.

Yas: This is the TECHNO group. So all of the TECHNO fabric in RUNDHOLZ DIP this time has got this like painter's wash over it. So it's not one flat colour. It's literally, yeah, like a white wash, or they're calling it FOG. So this is an example of the SEAWEED in that TECHNO fabric.

(Yas shows laptop screen)

Yas: We are going to be posting more videos as the days go on on our socials of close-ups of SEAWEED in particular, so keep an eye out for that Mandy and that'll give you a bit more info. But the code for this TECHNO jacket is 2241104. And that is photographed in SEAWEED. It’s a beautiful colour. It’s one that—I've done a lot of the WHITE and the PAPER CHALK myself, but definitely SEAWEED is one that I have invested in this time because I think it’s absolutely stunning. I think there's a photo of it in denim as well. And we have done a little bit of the denim SEAWEED, which is equally beautiful.

Jade: I’m interested to see the denim if you have got a photo.

Yas: Here it is.

Jade: Is that—?

Yas: Yes.

Jade: No!

Yas: Yes.

Jade: See, that's where it throws you then, because that is much lighter.

Yas: That is lighter, yeah.

Jade: But you’re right, it’s not as light as SKY.

Yas: So this is the SEAWEED—can you see this girls? Is it helpful? This is the SEAWEED in the denim. It’s still got that white painter wash over the top of it, but as Jade said, it is lighter than in the silk. I think the darkest version is the silk knit jumpers.

Jade: I think the way to describe the BLUEs, because I’m seeing now that the SEAWEED is kind of BLUE... whereas before I was kind of describing it as a GREEN, but it is a GREENISH BLUEISH tone. I would say that your SKY is your baby BLUE, whereas your SEAWEED is your grungy BLUE. So if you like a sort of colder, more grungy colour, that’s the way to go. Whereas if you fancy something a bit more feminine, a bit more light and lifting for the summer, then that’s where you need to go for SKY.

Yas: Yeah. I would say just looking at these pictures as if for the first time, this—so this is SEAWEED. This is the SEAWEED TECHNO fabric, which you're wearing here on this image. It looks so much brighter actually on these photos than it does in real life. It is definitely like a grungier tone. Yeah, it's really beautiful.

Jade: Yeah, this is quite good, this picture actually for showing the colour SEAWEED. It gives a good idea.

Yas: A bit more GREY as well. The GREY tone rather than bright BLUE.

Jade: Yeah. It's not very vintagey. Hello Jill!

Yas: Hello Jade!

Jade: We're being news reporters.

Yas: Oh I see. Very serious. What’s the next one? Any other questions?

Eloise (Off-Camera): We’ve got Claire from Green Vintage asking about RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE. So she’s saying, "Which white tops will go perfectly with the RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE graffiti trousers, as they have a very strong white background?" And then she said, "What I mean is, which colour WHITE will work best with the graffiti trousers?"

Jade: I don't think there is one actually. Which graffiti trousers?

Yas: See, she—do you mean the RED or the BLUE?

Jade: The BLACK. So the WHITE. So obviously it's a white background. As—and Claire's right. No, Paula please. Okay. We're in RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE now. Look alive! Look alive! So I think it's those trousers Claire. Very cool. Yeah, very nice. And she's looking for a white top.

Jade: I don't think there is one. Not tops. Jackets? Yes, we’ve got white jackets.

Eloise (Off-Camera): Would the shirt go?

Yas: I would put like a CUPRO with it. Yeah, we've not got white CUPRO I don't think. No, it would be BLACK. I’m just having a little puddle. You're going to have to go into RUNDHOLZ DIP. I think that's safe. I think that is a safe option because I was looking at cross-pollinating the RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE with the RUNDHOLZ DIP. And the PAPER CHALK from RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE is exactly the same as the SEAFOAM from RUNDHOLZ DIP. So I think any white top or SEAFOAM top from RUNDHOLZ DIP you should be okay with because it’s very much the same white shade throughout both collections. Obviously, if it’s a printed or a washed CUPRO piece from RUNDHOLZ DIP, that’s going to be a bit tricky because it’s almost like printed in itself, so you’ll have like a printed painterly piece with graffiti. I don’t think it'd look good. Bit too much going on there.

Jade: Other than the linen T-shirt? I’m not sure we did any white. No, not white. Because we did linen. And that top...

Yas: What's that colour? Going back to RUNDHOLZ DIP, Mandy says, "The TECHNO looks BLUE whereas the silk looks TEAL. It's all a bit LAGOON."

Yas: Yeah, somewhere in the middle definitely. Like we said, the silk is definitely deeper, but it tones with the SEAWEED-y lighter pieces definitely.

Jade: There are T-shirts in the SEAFOAM, or as they call it, SEAFOAM FOG in the lookbook actually. So the T-shirts, the vests, they will all work. If you're wanting more of a piece, then it's the blouses which are the linen blouses and they come in the SEAFOAM as well. But I know we don't have many of those left.

Eloise (Off-Camera): Yeah Claire thought—I did wonder if the SEAFOAM would match.

Yas: Yeah, go for the SEAFOAM. Definitely the T-shirts and things. But just watch out if it's painted over the top because I do think it'll be a little much. Bit of a clash situation. Any more questions?

Eloise (Off-Camera): From the Instagram we've got, "What's the difference between the two longer linen jackets? I'm not sure which one the collection refers to."

Yas: Two longer linen jackets... RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE? Could be RUNDHOLZ BLACK LABEL. Oh, yeah. I don't think we've got any linen in RUNDHOLZ BLACK LABEL in RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE. No.

Eloise (Off-Camera): Another question, "What are the T-shirt sizes coming up like?"

Jade: Massive.

Yas: Yeah.

Jade: Same. Actually no, in RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE they are, in RUNDHOLZ DIP they're not.

Yas: The printed style, so that graffiti print top in the RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE is very oversized, isn't it?

Jade: Just like the ones that we’ve had before. And the same I think goes for the, you know, the printed RUNDHOLZ DIP one with the tapestry. That’s quite thin and therefore probably the same fabric. Yeah. But the ribbed T-shirts from RUNDHOLZ DIP are fitted. I’m actually really pleased with the fit of those. Tried on the Small when we were there and it fitted well. I'd probably... the ribbed ones are always better aren't they? We've had those more fitted. I mean I’m still wearing my ribbed one from the winter and it’s not grown at all. It's perfect.

Jade: Yeah, and me. So yeah, actually. So yeah the RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE TURF ones that were plain. Well done Yas, you're wearing one, so that's helpful. With the thumbholes. It’s going to be like that for the RUNDHOLZ DIP ones, but then the printed ones are like the usual very very fine printed like the RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE BOUQUET... no, MONSTER. MONSTER DUDE-Y. That one. Lots of denim this time, it’s very exciting.

Eloise (Off-Camera): Are the RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE graffiti jeans coming up Large?

Jade: Yes. Yeah. We all had the size Small on when we tried them because obviously that’s what the samples are in. And they worked for all of us. So Lisa, who’s our slimmest, right up to Mom... I think there's a photo of Mom in the graffiti. And they looked amazing. But obviously the reason that is the case is because Lisa’s so tall and wears them slightly low on her hips so they work for her, but then Mom will wear them right high in the waist, which is her smallest bit. So I think I would order mine in an Extra Small which should be correct if they’re coming up like this season, which I think they are.

Yas: I think so, definitely. This is a great pant, something that we need to talk about. The TECHNO pants from the Autumn Winter. My favorite pant ever. Love them. I’ve actually worn mine today, it’s embarrassing.

Jade: Yeah. No, it’s embarrassing, yeah. They’re good pants. They’re great pants.

Yas: And they’re coming back exclusively to the House of Allory in the Spring Summer colours. Jill you’ll be pleased to know, you like a tag. You've got to call me the other night, didn't you, to show them to say that coming in colours. Which colours? So all of your RUNDHOLZ DIP colours. Has that little piece of paper come in? Yeah. You might not—yes.

Jade: Although this is what RUNDHOLZ provide for the colour charts and I think they're very inaccurate I have to say. So don't be referring to these. Very very inaccurate. But we've given you exactly what RUNDHOLZ have produced because they are the oracle. Who knows. So we thought, well we better put it in because that's what they say.

Yas: But I mean the SEAWEED here looks more like an ELEPHANT GREY. The AMBER looks dark BROWN. It isn't, it's definitely SMOKY PURPLE. Yeah, we should write a note: please do not be confused by this. You’d have to compare—it’s like comparing with what you’ve got on screen, won’t you?

Jade: Yeah the photos are more accurate and the lookbooks. And just ask us if you’re unsure. This on the other hand is absolutely accurate. So that’s good.

Yas: They've had a bit of trouble. They should've got our e-comm team doing it because they get—they do a good job don't they?

Jade: They do a good job, yeah. So yeah, really excited about those trousers. Those are a highlight. And then there's this group that we've not really talked much about. You know the darker, grungier tailored RUNDHOLZ... it's a very very artistic bit of the collection. Paula, I think you may have ordered some of these. It took up quite a large part of the collection, but it wasn’t our favorite when we initially saw it. Because you imagine you see it as a whole collection, you naturally gravitate to the bit that you just like, and we went straight for the lace. And because of that, we didn’t kind of get involved with this part of the collection which was the opposite side of the room until later on. And it’s—we’ve done a small buy, haven’t we? We’ve done a trouser... In a sense it kind of doesn’t work with the other pieces. It’s kind of its own capsule within the RUNDHOLZ DIP collection. Because whilst you can mix and match elements of it I imagine, it’s its own complete story.

Yas: I do think it would go with the SEAWEED, that dark grungy colour.

Jade: Yeah so you can mix and match but it's—it's got its own identity and it's kind of hand-painted. It’s got writing, so literally letters. And then lots of—it reminds me of J Jackson Pollock jacket that she had a few seasons ago from RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE. When he literally hand-splattered paint on all the jackets. I think that could have been both of these could have been separate collections and he could have done a whole season of that and a whole season of that. And maybe he was too excited and just thought, you know what, I’m just going to do both.

Yas: Yeah, throw it in right at the end.

Jade: But they're very different. You've got two different looks. And what's nice about that is that you can buy into both and have very different outfits. Page 20 girls, page 20, very lovely.

Eloise (Off-Camera): Claire’s saying, "Will the RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE lace-up shoes give me slightly more height than the RUNDHOLZ DIP versions from last year?"

Yas: Is that the RUNDHOLZ DIP versions?

Eloise (Off-Camera): You know the chunky shoes that everyone has?

Yas: Yeah. RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE.

Eloise (Off-Camera): Yeah so I think Claire's got the RUNDHOLZ DIP ones from last year, are the RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE ones for this season bigger?

Jade: When you say the RUNDHOLZ DIP ones, do you mean the ones with all the scraggy fabric strings?

Eloise (Off-Camera): Oh the little cute ones.

Jade: I wouldn't describe them as cute. They're like grunge. Oh no, I’m not thinking of them then. I’m thinking Claire has a shoe like this. Oh I don't know if she does. The reason I ask is because the RED RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE shoes from last year are chunkier than the BLACK RUNDHOLZ DIP.

Yas: Definitely. Yeah the RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE platform sneakers as they call them are way chunkier than the RUNDHOLZ DIP. So yeah. I prefer them. To the RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE to the RUNDHOLZ DIP. Although I really think the RUNDHOLZ DIP shoe colours this time are really gorgeous.

Jade: They are really gorgeous. And again hand-painted so the effect is beautiful. And they’ve all got these washes over the top as well. The RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE ones this time, just to let you know, they’re satin finished. So rather than being patent or rubber or whatever on the top, they’re actually satin. So it's like a fabric sheet and it's got a sheen. I’ll be honest here, I’ve not done that because for my lifestyle that wasn’t as good as ones I’ve had before where they are fully leather because they’re wipe-clean and a bit easier. These are satin. So that means that they can look a little bit more—not formal—just a little bit less sporty. Yeah, which is really nice because it means that you know they can go into those looks and not look as—they look great with the jean. Streetwear. They look lovely in there. With that jean. That is my favorite. Gorgeous. I love those jeans. The RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE denim is your favorite. That shape of jean was so good wasn’t it? It’s for those of us that want something different but don’t necessarily like a drop-crotch. Which is where I’m at in life. I’ve done drop-crotch before, I’ve never been worried about a drop-crotch, but the way I feel now in it, maybe it’s because of my size or my curves, they’ve changed, I don’t know why, but now when I wear it, I just don’t feel like me. Whereas a wide leg, I’m all over, I absolutely love it. I think that’s probably my 70s influence as well. I love kind of anything a bit vintage or retro. So when we saw these trousers it was like... finally we’ve got like an alternative which is still as cool and still making a statement. Somewhere in between but it's not your drop-crotch.

Yas: I’m just trying to find the code for those.

Eloise (Off-Camera): Last question from Claire, she says, "Are the shoes still coming up Large? Will I need to go down a size?"

Jade: Yes, definitely.

Yas: So code for our favorite jean is 1040102. Show them. 1040102.

Jade: I need to know how many colours of these I ordered because I need them.

Yas: I've ordered this full suit.

Jade: Oh have you? Yeah.

Yas: Oh I love them. And they come in this wash which is the lighter wash, which is close to the lighter denims that they've done before. I've got a pair of denim jeans from two seasons ago and it is similar.

Jade: It's BLUE-er though I think.

Yas: Yeah I think the one that I have they're almost WHITE. Yeah they are kind of MINT-y bubblegum BLUE WHITE but these are more like... and they're like a RUNDHOLZ DIP dye in—like there's lots of different colours in it whereas yours are more a flat colour. But it's that shade. Yeah. It does look like it's been washed with the darker tone. And then you've got the WHITE which are here.

Jade: See this is a RUNDHOLZ... they look terrible there. They don't. That is not what they look like.

Yas: They look like—I'll show you me in them. Back to you wearing them because otherwise it just doesn't... Oh well this is the print and this is Valerie in them. And we've got a picture of you in them Jade. These are my favorite trousers. They're just so cool.

Jade: How long are they? Are they coming up quite long are they? Well they're on the floor for Mom. So she’d need a chunky shoe. So she puts like the LOFINA sandals and it’d be fine.

Yas: And we've got some really chunky LOFINA coming this time or SORT AARHUS, I can't remember which. I mean that's Val in all size Smalls in the rouched denim jacket.

Jade: Doesn't that just look amazing? We said you've got to have that whole outfit, that looks insane.

Yas: And she was really happy with herself wasn't she? Just the way that that jacket kind of rouches so many times it gives you this fantastic waist.

Jade: Look at the back of the trouser! Love it. They’re so cool.

Yas: They are. And so they come in the graffiti print which has this ICE spray paint tone on it. The PAPER CHALK and that maybe it... Oh there's Jade.

Jade: Hang on, where am I? Oh yeah! Oh yeah so we and Mom are going to be wearing exactly the same.

Yas: Useful. Yeah. Well there you go Jade's wearing a white top which I don't know where I've got—I might have been wearing it anyway.

Jade: I don't know where I got that from. We must've found one.

Yas: I think that's a RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE one. But it was really sheer, it was almost... Yes. So yeah they come in the graffiti. Now it's worth saying because this might not be obvious: if it says graffiti, it comes in the graffiti shown in. It doesn't come in all the colours of graffiti. So if it's shown in BLACK graffiti then it's going to come in BLACK graffiti, if it's shown in BLUE graffiti it's going to come in BLUE graffiti. You can't choose your graffiti colour because that doesn't exist.

Jade: It is a shame because you know the printed jacket with the RED spray paint on... I love that in ICE. ICE is my favorite.

Yas: Oh this is a fun trouser.

Jade: Yeah we really like the shape of this. It looks a bit wild like have we lost our minds? But the pictures of us in it... we didn't get any of this. They didn't work. Well yeah. This is a wide-leg trouser of a satiny kind of finish like the viscose-y polyester. It's got the pleats in it. You can't really see from the photos but it's got the pleats in it that we've seen from RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE the jean, the trouser that Jill was wearing the other day, the RUNDHOLZ DIP check pant... the palazzo-y kind of style. It's very fluid.

Jade: The print has got giraffes on. We are aware of that. And whilst normally we're a bit about the animals, it's very very abstract so it's more just spray paint. And it's really lovely with a matching spray paint BLACK viscose jacket which actually comes in a different fabric, but we put them together and really liked it. It was a bit of a wow. Is it that one? Yes. So you can see that it's the matching one because it's got this giraffe on the right breast. Again, you can't really see it's a giraffe so don't worry about that. But yeah that jacket with that trouser we had it on as a full suit. It... the movement is just really so gorgeous. The fluidity of it. It felt like really cool in terms of the spray paint detailing but because of the fabric it was really fluid and ethereal. It felt very high summer. You know it could be wedding, it could be art exhibition. Ibiza! Why do I always think art exhibition when I think of like something our customers might do? Like opening your own art exhibition. Because we're all doing that this weekend aren't we girls?

Yas: We have a lot of our clients are artists.

Jade: That's where my head goes. Oh and the opera. And the opera. I have never been to an opera nor did I ever wish to.

Yas: I'll take you.

Jade: Jill I couldn't, I'd be so bored. I would be so bloody... I hate dancing. Do they dance?

Yas: Depends on the opera.

Jade: Like the ballet, I can't bear that either.

Yas: Go and see Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake.

Jade: I can't Paula. It would take up way too long. Oh what about this T-shirt for... oh no that's in MARSH not white. Because you liked this T-shirt. Did I? Yeah you said...

Yas: She says this when she doesn't like something and she just wants me to have it I’m sure she does. She’s like, "You like this Jade, you wear that, yeah?"

Jade: No, no. You raised a good point, you said, "We don't offer any alternatives to the fitted skinny T-shirt." Which is true. Now listen, Rita, if you're watching, we were stood there over by the changing room and you said, "You never do any of the white T-shirts." And I came to Yas and I said, "Yas, I have a request. We never do the white T-shirts. And our customers are having to go to our competitors to buy their white T-shirts. Outrageous! And that's not on." So we've bought some white T-shirts.

Yas: I do see the purpose of it though because you know on a hot summer's day when you don't want to go for... I don't know anything difficult. Not everyone looks like you Yas. I wish. Or Lisa. So sometimes... If you want the colour and just want a bit of fun then it's for ease. I think that's nice. And Rita does something where she'll layer the wider ones in plain colours or in print colours over the opposite skinny one so that if she does have lumps and bumps that perhaps she just wants to just blur the lines a little bit, then it's like a layered version and I love that. Job's a bloody good'un! And it's a bit cheaper than a pullover because sometimes, let's be honest folks, a raccoon is just a bit much. And a bit warm. Yeah, in the peaks of the summer.

Eloise (Off-Camera): I’ve got two. Barbara’s asking, "Will you be getting RUNDHOLZ DIP SEAWEED STORM pants?"

Jade: If they're online, yes. If they're not, then no.

Eloise (Off-Camera): And Claire’s saying there’s a jacket that comes in BLACK that’s... oh. No. Make up your mind. We have SKY FOG and AMBER STORM. If you’re referring to this trouser.

Jade: Sounds like Gladiators! I've never seen that. Please let me know.

Yas: Because this trouser, I have to say, the colours are incredibly confusing. There's no difference in colours or if there are it's very tiny and very confusing. So take it with a pinch of salt with this style because I remember them, at least you bought this group as well, they are so similar you couldn't differentiate one from another. And neither could the RUNDHOLZ staff... team. Team. Nicer word. Team. So when they're struggling you know that it's very minor. It kind of brings together all of the colours because it's got paint but I'd say it's most suited to SEAWEED. So if you've got some SEAWEED pieces already that you'd like to find a matching trouser for, this will definitely work either in either colour but I would recommend the SKY FOG over the AMBER STORM.

Jade: Actually, no you've ordered AMBER FOG.

Yas: I think SKY FOG is more of the WHITE-y fluff and AMBER FOG is more AMBER-y FOGGY. More PURPLE. Well no, because the AMBER on here was actually quite BROWN not PURPLE. It was actually looking orangey AMBER which is more accurate to this. It was more this BROWN. Yeah.

Jade: But I thought one had a little stripe in it? Potentially, I did do the homework and I’ve forgotten.

Yas: Yeah there was a stripe. I don't know whether that was fabric dependent as opposed to colour dependent. Because you're right, in some of the pieces it was like almost... I think it was textured so I think probably that's... It could be just a fabric.

Jade: The jumpsuit I remember being like that.

Yas: The jumpsuit or the jacket. The jumpsuit's really cool. The jumpsuit's a bit of a hidden gem actually. And I'm not sure that many people have grabbed one yet on the pre-order.

Jade: But Lisa has. It’s so lightweight and subtle like the minimalness of the... minimalism. Minimalism. Minimalism. How do you say that?

Yas: Minimalism.

Jade: The minimalism of the design is really clean and so nice for winter, summer, oh my god! Summer! I’m getting tired now. Yeah. But the prints that it’s coming in are going to make it seriously interesting. We have SKY FOG, AMBER STORM, and SEAWEED PAPER. Yeah. I don’t know what they look like, honestly. Well they're going to be like whitewashed over versions of the colour aren't they? Back to what the technos look like and things. It's going to be like that but it is linen so it's going to carry it slightly different. And it's a lightweight linen not like the other linens. So again it's going to carry it slightly different. It makes it very complicated. And naturally, what you'll see here ladies is that we only get the tools that you do a lot of the time when we're buying. It might be that they've got the odd thing made up in a piece, but a lot of the time they don't. So we have to take huge risk when we're buying because we don't know exactly what the final product is going to come out like. So in terms of colours and things, we have to kind of wing it and pick what we hope is going to be the best. So you could say we're right and luckily a lot of the time you guys order it and we realize we were, which is really quite brilliant but it's always a worry.

Eloise (Off-Camera): Thank you. Claire’s saying there’s a jacket that comes in BLACK that’s short and boxy and it’s got a zip up the front. Is it quite oversized? I can’t do fitted as my waist is my widest bit.

Yas: Is it RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE? Is it like a... I’m putting that back to you Claire. I wonder if it’s this one. It's boxy sweatshirt style, it's got a zip, it's RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE. It's photographed in this, but it comes in BLACK. Could be this. Please confirm. It's very cool. Yeah it's nice as well. We added this last minute. And it's boxy but I wouldn't say it's massively oversized, it's not like enormous.

Jade: No. Sizes range from Extra Small to Extra Large so I’d say it should be fairly size accurate then. But it’s boxy rather than fitted, definitely. Anything else we missed? Do we want to talk a bit about RUNDHOLZ BLACK LABEL?

Yas: Yeah. Very chic. There she is right at the back. I don't have a staple in this one. There's some monochrome but the majority of the collection are in these GREEN tones. My favorite is this GREEN tone which is called TREE. TREE. I've got to say looking at this quickly, I haven't actually seen this yet, not a lot of this we've actually ordered. No.

Eloise (Off-Camera): Just before you get your heads back into RUNDHOLZ BLACK LABEL, Claire says yes it is that jacket.

Yas: Okay perfect.

Jade: Yeah we’ve not bought a lot of this. The reason is, this is very RUNDHOLZ BLACK LABEL this lookbook. Lots of big prints. But I actually the pieces that we bought from RUNDHOLZ BLACK LABEL are pretty excellent. The linen group in particular is gorgeous. It’s those linen trousers that absolutely flew out last spring summer. The wide pleated, they look like the RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE shape, but they were too big for most people. They were, you know, people had to size one to two even three sizes down. This time they've been improved that with still the comfort of an elasticated waistband but also a drawstring, so you can cinch it in and it just feels like a better size piece. We've done this. We like this jacket very much, the linen one. The linen group, yeah. There's some printed linen as well. Monochrome. Yeah that was like a tulip... this colour reminds me of tulip. Not tulip. Yes. Do you remember? Tulip. Tulip. Yeah. Very strong. So if you've got any RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE pieces... I do think there will be some crossover between these RUNDHOLZ BLACK LABEL TREE pieces and GRASS pieces with the RUNDHOLZ DIP collection. But I wouldn't like to say until I see them in person next to each other. And I’m going to say again, this lookbook really doesn’t represent our buy at all. Go on the website. Well just that we do RUNDHOLZ BLACK LABEL in a different way, don’t we? We do it less print-y. We’ll have elements of the print. We also don’t tend to do things that are more than one fabric, so like this jacket there's a bit of linen and there's a bit of sweatshirt going on and there's print going on. We tend to go more minimal. Oh this is a great RUNDHOLZ BLACK LABEL piece. That full overall. No, it's like a TECHNO fabric. Oh yeah really lovely and it's a bit softer than some TECHNO fabrics. It's a bit more fluid, it's got some movement to it. But great shape. Drop-crotch. Just a really easy one. Front zip. It's gorgeous. Really nice piece. The colours are a bit tricky in this one as well because the light colours, there's a few light colours that all kind of feel like they sound the same. There's the best trouser ever. Yeah that's it. She's great. Oh yeah. Very nice. So yeah the difference here between MINT and SELENA can get a little bit confusing because they're both very light and obviously in different fabrics they come out different. But we've only ordered both colours in a piece where we felt that they were different enough to actually do that. If they were very similar we've always picked the best of the two. We asked for you know a sampled piece of each to say right which colour is better in this particular fabric. These are great as well. Really understated. It’s not a showstopper at all but again like just improving the basics that we offer. This is a lovely T-shirt. It feels like silk. It’s absolutely beautiful against the skin and we’ve got that in the cap sleeve and the vest top. And it’s great because it’s not super skinny. It sits away from you so it’s an easy everyday T-shirt. It's a lovely shape. Really strong. We often only sort of offer one or two basics because we kind of think well if we've got a basic in the right colour or the right print then you're covered and it feels like spending budget where you'd rather go for the really exciting pieces. But now where we're able to spread the buy a little bit we've thought well actually it's nice to have a few options because if you've got your favorite pair of trousers or your favorite skirt and you want to wear it a couple of times, you know in the same week whatever, then you need options. You need to be able to say...

Yas: Plus version. Also great. Really easy and they look great worn alone but equally you could easily layer that up with a little crop jumper or something and it would just be a lovely layer. Very nice. The code girls is 3230807 for the vest top. And then for the cap sleeve it is 3230508. And obviously we've done all the knitwear where actually we've been given a lot of options with the knitwear we've done every knitwear in every colour so you can really build... Oh god where are we going to put it? Wardrobe!

Jade: But they're the kind of things that are the easiest to layer with other pieces. You don't need to buy a piece of knitwear from RUNDHOLZ BLACK LABEL to wear with RUNDHOLZ BLACK LABEL, you know it equally looks great with MAMA B jeans or linens from CLEMENTE or any other brand. Yeah the price point of that cotton knit as well is amazing. I mean 135 pounds for a jumper. Show what we're looking at. Crazy. So like 135 and it’s croppy. And if you’re looking for something to go with your RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE, for example, then you can go BLACK or WHITE in this and it’ll be absolutely perfect. And you’ve got a croppy length and in RUNDHOLZ MAINLINE perhaps it’s only offered in a more premium fabric and it’s a lot more money, whereas this is 135 and you’ve got the look and it does the job beautifully. And with it being cotton it’s not itchy, it’s lightweight, so it gives you... Good ones to take on holiday aren't they? Instead of like a jacket, just for the... I always take one of those actually, exactly for that for when I arrive and it gets a bit cool in the evening.

Yas: What else? We've got the super cropped one, a fairly cropped like it's swingy, nice shape, not too long or overwhelming. And then we've got more of an oversized shape and we've got the cardigan too.

Jade: I think I think we're there. We've covered... I actually feel as though this season is quite easy in some ways. Much easier than the medium and the dark and the light washes of all the DIP colours. I think so. And I’m sure as it lands we’ll find that there are more things to explain. But obviously that’s what the shows are for so it’s nice to do it that way isn’t it? So excited!

Yas: We if we we are selling out of things already as crazy as that is. But we are trying to get hold of more stock, so if you are interested in anything that has sold out or sold out in your size, make sure you press the notify me button on the website.

Jade: It has to be the website, we’ve learned this from Uncle Stefan. It’s got to be notify me on the website because if you use the wishlist facility on the app, then that just puts the product in and it’s more of a board for you to put—it's like a mood board for you to put all the pieces that you may like or that you might want to remember. Whereas the notify me facility literally notifies you as soon as that product in that size comes back into stock. However, it will do that also for everybody else that’s also added that size and style to their notify me. So you will all get an automated message at the same time and then if we’ve only got one or two or three that we’ve been able to reproduce or restock, it really is fastest one to it, which we know is really frustrating but it’s why we try and order as many as we can if we know there’s huge demand. And that’s the way that we learn what needs to be reproduced as well. So we go to our report based on the notify me and that’s how we can see what we need to be asking RUNDHOLZ for. So it’s really important for us that you do that. Even if you’re saying to us and you’re screaming to us till we’re deaf in the ear that you really want this particular skirt and you’ll have it in this size or this size, in this colour or this colour, please just add them all or variations to that because that’s what we’ll be taking to Mr. Rundholz and saying please please please could you reproduce these pieces.

Yas: Good job. Over and out.

Jade: Can we go drink wine now? Girls one day hopefully we'll all get to drink wine after a show together. Hopefully you'll be able to come down and we'll all get to have a drink. I did debate doing this with a glass of champagne. It would have been more entertaining. It’s such a dull show this so we’re sorry about that. But for a lot of people there’s a lot of questions that are asked and until we sit down and kind of go through they don’t know what questions need to be asked. And I’m sure there’s more. So yeah ask any time. We'll be here until next week.

Jade: So happy weekend. Yas is off to Portugal now because she doesn't work here anymore basically. She’s just always somewhere else. So that’s that.

Yas: I’m trying. I’m trying to collect some stamps. I’m trying to be in the country as little as possible in the month of January. That’s my aim.

Jade: Right, I’ll handle the shop. So see you Monday or Tuesday. Have a lovely weekend!

Yas: Bye!

Jade: Bye!
