We’re beginning a monthly (maybe quarterly in reality) series to introduce you to our Carissa Rose team. These precious children, believe it or not, make up our current shipping department. Next month we are out-sourcing the shipping to a current industry contractor, so I thought we should post these pictures now.
The children make the boxes.

Put the stickers on (except for the 2.5 year old. Daddy says her sticker placement is not accurate enough to represent the Carissa Rose brand).

And stack them up so they are easily accessible. We usually have a couple of floor to ceiling stacks at a time. The children are creative in how they climb to reach the top of the stacks.
Stacking boxes
The boys reconcile the hang-tags to the cut tickets to make sure there are enough of each size, color and style. This is surprisingly good math practice: they organize by color/size, serially order them according to size, and then match the numbers and subtract.

The now ten year old (as of last week) can actually run the entirety of shipping himself. Unfortunately for me, his teacher, he’s more into the business than into school right now. Not sure how that happened.
Now we call him Decade
Look forward to more Carissa Rose Team entries in the months to come!
According to your sizing chart, I am an LW but also only 5’2″ tall, and usually wear petites. Do you plan to carry petite sizes in the future?
Hi Donna,
We fit a 5ft. 1in woman just this week in Hannah and she also has Carissa, which she wears all the time she says. Our plan on sizing is to come in dress sizes this fall, 4-18. If we do petites it will be SS ’11 at the earliest.
