Fall in love with Preloved!

Preloved is back in store after a brief hiatus and we couldn't be more excited about their new Fall/Winter designs. For those of you who have not yet met Preloved allow us to introduce you. This Toronto based line creates new looks out of previously loved garments, hence "Preloved." For instance you may see three pairs of men's reclaimed wool pants, but the master minds behind Preloved see a new 3-tiered Sunday Skirt the end result being pure up-cycled genius.




Three Reclaimed Wool Sweaters = Ginny Sweater




Four Reclaimed Wool Sweaters = Miss Parker Sweater





Did we mention they make mittens and scarfs too...





We'd also like to take this opportunity to introduce you to the newest local designer to hit the cases, Butterworth and Bee. The Denver based artist and jeweler behind Butterworth and Bee focuses on creating one of a kind pieces fusing their knowledge of metal-smithing with found objects resulting in the perfect pairing of playful and skillful pieces. 





Make sure to stop in and check out all of these new one of a kind creations while you still have first pick. 

Happy Shopping!

Upcycle Your Way Into Spring Fashions...

This weeks featured products share a few things in common, both creators are using vintage and recycled materials and both are creating playful yet functional pieces for your Spring wardrobe.

Take Beatrice Holiday - Wheel Cute Couture for example. This line is locally made by Alisun Franson and developed out of a need for a functional, yet fashionable way to tote things around town on your bike. Now Beatrice Holiday doesn't stop at bike bags but also focuses on covering your bike seats with vintage fabrics and covering yourself with upcycled bicycle inner-tube jewelry ranging from earrings to bracelets.

For this post we're going to focus on Alisun's amazing line of handlebar bike bags we recently got into the store. Not only will these vintage inspired accessories spice up any old ride through the park they will add functionallity to your everyday life. The handlebar bike bag can be secured to your handlebars while crusing and then converted into the perfect shoulder bag for a day of exploration. Who can resist these vintage prints?

Our next designer, Lesley Tamaev,  hails from Wilmington, North Carolina and works under the name Just Like Honey Clothing. And her work is just that, like honey. It's light, playful, refreshing fashions for Spring and Summer. Lesley pairs togther vintage and recycled clothing into a seemless hybrid of fashion for the young at heart.
