London Town Fling

Dearest Lovelies,

I hope that you are all well and beyond excited for the tropical weather, impending spaghetti strap tans, cold coronas by the beach and everything else affiliated with a glorious Australian summer. Well while you revel and await this long awaited season, we have some bittersweet news on our end! As some of you may know, I'm currently on a 6 month hiatus studying, travelling and falling in love with Europe so in the meantime Friperie will be hibernating and will not trade from this August until February 2013 (noo!). Fear not for we will be back with more goodies and surprises in store for Autumn 2013 and will be sure to inspire, reinvent and revolutionise shopping for the modern, cash-conscious woman! In the meantime we will keep you posted on anything fashion related regarding my travels as well as let you know of any great new brands and trends springing up back home. Until then thank you once again for still loving us! Truly grateful for two years worth of friendship and finding my threads a home in your wardrobes! Hope this break won't stop the ball rolling and be sure to keep watching this space and letting folks know about our Facey and Twitter!

Much love from the northern hemisphere,
Abi & Friperie

PS. Our Day of the Dead collection will be momentarily unavailable during this period. All holds will be cancelled and some items may be reposted in our 2013 Autumn collection. Thanks for your understanding!

Day After the Dead

Dearest Friperie fans,

How I've missed this. Hopefully absence has made your heart grow fonder since our last summer collection, which I might add was another remarkable success! Thank you so much for all the people who make our vision and dreams a reality, from my favourite photographer friends who take the time to shoot and edit, to the people who promote, support and get the word out about Friperie relentlessly and most of the time without being asked to of course the lifeblood of my little baby, our regular and new customers that purchase and show interest every single season since we've started. I appreciate and adore you all. Thank you for helping me in this training ground of what may or may not be the start of bigger dreams being effectuated into flesh. Anyway enough of the sap, what I really wanted to let you guys in on is that we're back and better than ever for our Autumn 2012 collection. It's been awhile but this season we've collated and saved some amazing (some even brand new) pieces for you to parade this Autumn. Think party dresses and statement pieces coupled with glimpses of winter (jackets, stockings, layers). There is also a reason for why the title of this notice is called "Day After the Dead" beyond the fact that I've been overdosing on zombie movies or anything equally morbid haha. This season's collection is entitled "My Sugar Skull Sweetheart" and will feature glimpses of the infamous Day of the Dead festival celebrated in good ol' Me-he-ko. I won't give too much away but that should explain why I'm looking scarier than usual in the photos. We will be releasing "My Sugar Skull Sweetheart"on the 30th April 2012 (Time TBA on our facebook page), so please spread the word and ingrain this in your memory. Last announcement is that we will be releasing two sets of the collection photos- those one the website will be in black and white (for artistic purposes) so if you're curious about the real colour of any garment please pop on over to our facebook page or email/facebook private message/tweet us with your queries.

I shan't take any more of your time so hopefully we'll see you browsing and buying on the 30th April! Big love, hugs and most of all thanks!

Summer collection update

Greetings beautiful friends,

Although it is very delayed, I do hope each and every one of you is enjoying 2012 so far and the glories and surprises it will bring/already has brought. Wherever you may be located in the world, we are wishing and hoping you will have an unreplicated year of laughter, cheesy movie nights in bed, rooftop weed parties, bargain sample sales, delicious cuisine, travelling the world and loving life in general ahead yewww!

Firstly I'd like to happily announce that we are back in business and better than ever this 2012 with the much anticipated summer collection. I know Sydney is suffering from spells of "season schizophrenia" (a definite inspiration for this upcoming collection's theme) but we hope you'll find these vintage threads and fabulous transeasonal garb a home in your heart and wardrobe. The collection entitled "Lunatic Fringe" (the meaning will all be revealed on Mon) will go viral on Monday 30th of January 9am EST so please mark this on your calenders, iphones, diaries or wherever you will be certain to remember. We also have a few shirts for our brave, style bending men so please let your other halves or siblings know! That's about it on our end but thank you once again for all the continued support in helping Friperie thrive and survive. Details on our birthday giveaways and autumn collection will come in the next few months so keep your eyes peeled on here and here and here. Much love and infinite thanks lovelies. Until Monday,

Abi & Friperie
