Third Blogpost: Production Intern at House of Dagmar

Hi everyone,

I am now wrapping up my internship period with only one week left! It feels strange that soon I will be leaving the workplace where I’ve spent most of my time over the past 3 months. I’veve gotten to know an entirely new team and become quite close with some of them. 

This experience has taught me many things about the industry and it’s been interesting to be part of an organisation, even for just a short amount of time. The internship has provided me with so many new insights and I’ve learnt about strategies that the brand works with in order to manage their supply chain. I have gained an understanding of what the production process from initial planning and development to the final product reaching the customers and what that looks like at House of Dagmar. Being involved in everything from supplier communication and production planning to fittings, quality control and coordination has given me an insight of how complex and important each stage of the textile value chain is for the final product to turn out the way its been planned. 

In the last couple of weeks I’ve also reflected over my personal growth, not just in terms of knowledge, but also in understanding the reality of working in a small team. The internship has been a journey of development and an important step for me. I feel more enlightened about what kind of work I would like to pursue in the future. Feeling grateful for these new learnings and looking forward to new experiences in the future. 

All the best,
