This is a brand new 2012 collection, and it is supposed to be shipping to stores beginning in late June. Kaufman is taking orders for this line up until early March, and then they will place their order with the mill. Most likely they will request just enough to cover the orders they have taken from shops, plus a little extra. Those designs and colors that Kaufman continues to get orders for may be reprinted (if there is enough demand) and any that did not sell well are dropped. This is what makes it hard for shop owners to gauge what to order, and how much. So many fabrics, we (shop owners) have only one chance to order and that's the end of it.

I've had my own drool problem going on... I have ordered *most* of the collection for our shop. And might still add a few more.
They are not going to be available until late June; that's when the manufacturer says they will start shipping. And I think that Kaufman tries to be fair to all their shops, and they box and hold EVERYbody's orders, and then ship them all at once. So nobody should have them more than a couple of days before anyone else (and those few days difference are probably related to how far it is from RK's California warehouse, to the destination LQS).
