Office Lendorff Boingboing'ed
Over the last few months we suddenly got a lot of exposure on the net. We got mentioned in blogs, people checked out our page and we received a lot of fan-mail (Thanks to all of you!). Our traffic exploded over night and I had to start instant negotiations with our provider. What a trip! We eventually figured out how it must have happened: maclondon who runs a London blog walked into American Retro on Old Compton Street and got himself one of our hats. He was so fund of our stuff that he took a photograph - straight in the store - and wrote a few lines about us http://maclondon.livejournal.com/. Thank you maclondon! You where the first to write about us and you triggered the rest. I guess next in line came the gamers. Nostalgic as ever they liked our retro arcade game style knitts and started posting: http://gaygamer.net/ and http://www.wonderlandblog.com Thank you guys! Wait till we introduce our c64 bags. Wonderland triggered http://fashion.psfk.com/ possibly the first fashion blog mentioning us. Then came boingboing http://www.boingboing.net/. After that we got mentioned in 100s of blogs and we where overwhelmed by the support we received from people everywhere. We invest a lot of energy and enthusiasm into Office Lendorff (and so far can't afford a company car) and it is great to see that people actually enjoy our stuff. Thank you mac, jennifer, cory, flora (from the Vogue Australia Forums, yes you), roger (you opened our eyes!), amanda, tom (from plasticbag.org, great site!), neil (you are our first ever online customer),trudy, john, lynne, lorraine and all the others. Thank you!

Ok! Now, I saw this little reference (no pix) to Officelendorff on a Knitting magazine in the US. I am a knitter, fanatic about hand-knit and I avoid anything machine-knit. But I tried to be open minded. Surfed the web and found the 'cool' Officelendorff products. Ordered online(and thanks a big lot for sending them so quickly! Merci!). Now I walk around enwrapped in my 'lendorff set. It's a show stopper! Literally, a big WOW! I get stares from every direction. You guys need an outlet or something in San Francisco. It's a windy city and we need your STUFF!!!
BIG BIG Thanks.
