- I'm gonna show you a secret place.
Shh.
This is our bead room.
This is the place that we don't show you very often,
because a lot of secrets are hidden in this room
to try to keep surprises for you.
So if you notice, this is Ryan Rose's old room.
I kind of took it over.
Once we get all of these boxes out,
we will let her move upstairs.
She's already planning her room.
She can't wait.
But come on, I'll show you some secrets.
(upbeat pop music)
So this is the bead room.
This is also Candice's office.
Y'all always ask, is Candice there?
Is Candice there?
Yes, she's here, we just can't show you all of our secrets.
So we have a process.
When makers pick up and drop off, also,
Candice is in charge of all of our local makers.
We have a whole bunch of them.
They drop off and pick up every week,
but she's also in charge of the quality control,
and getting sure all the makers get
what they need every week, so she packs their bags.
On Friday, they drop off, pick up, and switch,
and so it's a beautiful process, but yeah,
a lot of magic happens in here,
so you can see we have beads.
So many beads, different colors.
We had to hide some of them for you.
We have a lot planned for our new warehouse.
We are hoping, when we get into the new warehouse,
it looks totally different from this.
A whole lot more space, more place for beads,
bigger place for creativity.
Sarah, y'all know Sarah, comes in a lot,
and she is a huge part of creating different colors.
She's like the color specialist, I like to say,
'cause she's so good.
People think it's so easy to put the order
of the beads, and it's not.
It is so not that easy.
I enjoy doing it, and so does Sarah,
so we work with each other and give feedback
and I don't know, it's just a really beautiful process.
But like I said, this is Candice's office,
but also a.k.a. the bead room.
We have all the beads.
You can see we have the different Quinn rushes,
the Quinn clips.
Yeah, and there's beads everywhere.
We wish we could order a lot more colors.
We just don't have the space.
Some of the things that we do, it's just lack of space.
Over here, you can see these are all clips
that have been turned in, so all of the boxes
at the warehouse are boxes of stuff that's manufactured,
like Cutie PATs, Cutie Tensils, Cutie Teethers,
but everything that are clips that are made stay here
in office, so they're all in here,
and there's another room that I'm gonna show you.
This is our clip room.
This is where when all of our shipping team has to restock,
this is where they come and pull from.
(upbeat pop music)
So this is a batch.
You can see our bags.
They're so heavy when makers turn in.
Usually they turn in about two bags.
Our makers make anywhere from 300 to 1500 clips a week.
It is like crazy.
Crazy, crazy, crazy.
But they turn in, and yeah, it has the information,
the quantity, the clip, the date, and the maker.
This just helps us for quality control,
so if we know there's a problem, we know where to go,
and which maker to go to, but yeah,
we love being able to show the team
how important everybody is.
We all depend on all the different,
I always kind of say like, they're like maybe the fingers
or the hands, but of the body.
Being able to see the whole picture.
Say I create the product, and then Judy makes the beads,
and then Whitney gets the beads in, and then from then,
Candice gets it, and she gives it off to the stringers,
and the stringers turn them back in,
then Candice has to give them to the bead makers.
The bead makers turn them back in,
then Candice has to check,
send out photographers, send out videographers.
They have to send in the stuff,
then we have to get it ready for launch.
We have to count it, then we have to ship it.
Put it on the website, can't forget Jen,
put it on the website, announce about it,
and it's just really cool how you see the big picture
and how everybody depends on everybody,
and everybody's important at Ryan and Rose,
and we're just really, really, really grateful for our team,
but I probably share too many secrets,
Bret's probably gonna get on to me, but we'll see.
But yeah, I just love our team, and just love, I don't know,
it's just really cool to show you kind of behind the scenes.
A little aspect of the bead making process,
and how that works.
So, be sure to comment below.
We would love to see what other videos you'd like
to see behind the scenes of, and don't forget to follow us
on Instagram, @ryanandrose, and we will see you next time.
