Starting this week and through the end of the month, Alpine Parrot Founder and CEO Raquel will be hitting the road in her trusty camper, alongside her partner in crime Max and their two furry friends, Emmie and Basher. The purpose? To get the Ponderosa Pants into the hands of as many fit testers as possible before entering the next round of production!
Starting from the Alpine Parrot HQ in South Lake Tahoe, CA, Raquel and her crew will be making stops in Salt Lake City, UT; Bozeman and Missoula, MT; Seattle, WA; Portland, OR; Arcada, CA as well as a few scenic spots like Crater Lake National Park and Yellowstone National Park.
At most of these locations, Raquel will be meeting with volunteer fit testers of all sizes to try on the Ponderosa Pants, get feedback on their fit and styling, and work on finalizing the product before starting the production process. She will be taking extra precaution to make sure both she and our fit testers feel comfortable in terms of COVID, with hand sanitizer available, everyone wearing facemasks, and Raquel coaching our fit testers from at least six feet away on how to share their measurements from afar.
Stay tuned as this great adventure kicks off, and be sure to check in via Instagram for photos and bits of the experience as it happens.
