Chic-a Offers Second Chance for Seconds!

05 Nov 2014 / 0 Comments / in Good News and Knitting, News & Updates/by Joanna

Seconds-Sale-One

Chic-a began its official manufacturing in 2010 in Mexico. Before this time, I sewed all the products for all the orders. I had six stores that I was selling to, and they seemed to re-order often. I was sewing all the time! This is actually what made me think these products might be successful, and I started to seek out manufacturing help.

Working with my manufacturer has been a good experience, and I have learned so much over the last four years. As with anything else, there have been times when mistakes are made and the products are not quite right. Chic-a started to get a pile of “seconds.” Things would be fixed, and we would be back on track — only for another thing to eventually pop up. I have talked with many other people who are involved with manufacturing, and there seems to be a consensus that problems arise, get fixed and another problem arises and get fixed. It sort of has an ebb and flow.

Chic-a recently moved to a smaller warehouse, and now really doesn’t have a place to store the pile of seconds. Many ideas and discussion have transpired about what to do with them. Some have been donated to a local non-profit called Willbridge. They help people on the street get their life back in order, and do a lot of outreach to the homeless community.

But there are still boxes of seconds. The seconds have slight damage, but are still fully functional. This is what makes it hard to throw them away. With that in mind, Chic-a has decided to have a Seconds Sale! To keep it simple, it will be at our warehouse in Santa Barbara:

Chic-a Seconds Sale
Saturday, Nov. 8
9 a.m. – 1 p.m.
Chic-a Warehouse
Goleta Craft Center
375 Pine Ave, Suite 11
Goleta, CA 93117

If you are in the area, I hope you can stop by. It should be a fun morning… and I have it on some authority that there will be doughnuts!

How Chic-a Began

Chic-a was founded in 2007 by Joanna Reyes. Born out of an idea to create something practical, yet fun and colorful for knitting and crochet projects, Joanna designed and crafted the Quick Draw Project Bag. Responding to immediate popularity, Joanna continued to develop products to meet the growing demand, and out of this, Chic-a was born.

After 10 wonderful years in business and meeting countless amazing people who have helped make this venture possible, the Chic-a offices are closing their doors. Our products will no longer be manufactured, but you can still find some in retail stores. Click here to find one near you.
