A view inside the Wendy Foster store Saturday July 22. 

Out of the Box is a Wendy Foster weblog whose purpose is to show merchandise as it is received, prepared and on its way to the sales floor. This along with Jean Panelli’s extensive Buying Trip Book, on display at the store, shows the whole process from designer to store.

Jean’s marvellous book contains hundreds of photographs, and comments, of their latest buying trips to New York and Paris, of clothing seen and bought, and scheduled to arrive in the store.

Drop in to Wendy Foster in Montecito and check out Jean’s book you will be amazed.
