Goodies galore

For our loyal customers and future fanatics,

As promised (and to make up for our delayed Summer collection) we're supporting the season of generosity and love by giving away a beautiful Kenneth Jay Lane Chain Textured Bib Necklace to one very fortunate Friperie devotee!

Features of this fabulous piece of metal:

• It oozes minimalist/gladiator/self-defence mechanism and is not only on trend this current season but will definitely make a return in the new year.
• It's 22k gold-plated. Fancy.
• Polished and textured sides 4.5" (11.5 cm) diameter. 
• Adjustable hook-and-eye clasp.
• Made in the USA.

The conditions to claim this goodie and add to your festive fun is too easy, simply like our facebook page by clicking this link http://facebook.com/FriperieSydney10 or follow us on twitter via this link http://twitter.com/FriperieSydney then leave us a tweet or a wall post saying you've done so and you're in the draw! Plus the more friends you recruit to like our facebook page or follow us on twitter gives you an additional entry, ie. one entry for your friend and another one for you! (NOTE: be sure to tell your friends to mention that you referred them to this comp or you'll lose your additional entry.) Yes, none of this "tell us in 25 words or less" shit that you frequently see competitions using as requirements (it's a personal pet peeve of mine) hence why there's simply no excuse to enter and spread the word. Be quick competition closes on the 19th January 2012 (12am EST).
 
Just a simple token of our appreciation in continuing to support and love what we do at Friperie and for your endless support and hopefully future encounters with us! Please do have a peek at our terms and conditions at the bottom of this page for further clarifications but if you still have any questions or queries regarding our giveaway please don't hesitate to drop us an email at friperiesydney@hotmail.com.

Love and infinite thanks,
Abi &Friperie

Tis the season to be...

Hello lovelies!

Apologies for the silent treatment but we're finally getting our itshay sorted to bid 2011 a bittersweet farewell and to welcome the new year with open arms and greater expectations. Firstly, thank you for all those who supported our spring offering "Little Lady Lost" and most especially those who found some of our lovely garb a home in their wardrobes. Just to let you know, we've reduced some of the prices from the remaining items for sale as well as our winter collection "In a Winter Wonderland" so please do have a final peek before they're no longer available. Second, due to conflicting and busy schedules we're going to have to delay/postpone our Summer collection till the end of January. The official date will be confirmed ASAP but we apologise in advance for not getting the new collection out in sync with the new year. Alas, I promise you will not be disappointed by the amazing summer pieces (yes, even some for you handsome men) we have to offer for 2012!

Thirdly, due to the delay of our Summer release we will be releasing a Christmas/New Years giveaway that will run from the 18 December 2011 until 8 January 2011. The details on what we're actually giving away and how to win them for your own will be announced on the 18th but just to let you know it's nothing like the crappy KK gifts or oblivious distant relative presents you may receive or have received in the past. So please keep your eyes peeled on our noticeboard or on our lovely twitter account or facebook page for any hints as to what lovely goodies we will be lavishing you with.


I cannot thank you enough for all the support you've given Friperie for the past year or so and am still in disbelief of our existence. I can only hope that you'll continue to love and entertain us as well as spread the word and love. Rest assured, I have some big plans for my little baby that may see us expanding into new and exciting horizons. It can only go from bigger and better from here.

Much love and thanks and have an amazing and blessed festive season,

Abi & Friperie 

 ps. oh santa!

Going global

Hello cherubs,

Hope life has been treating you kind and that the weather (if you're in Sydney) hasn't murdered you with its bipolar tendencies. Just a quick update on Friperie and its progress so far. As you know our Autumn collection "Nothings sweet about me" has been such a success and I cannot express enough gratitiude for the people who have purchased and adored this collection. Once again a big thanks to my talented girl Janelle at THEDARKHUE Photography for snapping the masterpiece. Secondly our giveaway has been extended until the end of May (31st) so plesae keep the suggestions by following us on the twit and befriending us on the face! We appreciate it! Thirdly and most importantly, as of today Friperie is going global! Meaning we will be posting out to interested potential customers living in both hemispheres! How exciting! So let your pen pals, overseas stalkers and relatives living in other countries know of this little baby. Please note prices are marked in Australian Dollars for conversion purposes. To read about our updated method of payments and delivery please give our Conditions page a peek.

Thanks for keeping our facebook and twitter alive! We'd also adore hearing from you so send us over your queries, love letters, feedback and suggestions. Until our winter collection makes an appearance in July, more love and even more thanks!

Nothing's Sweet About Me.

Hey Changelings!

Recall Gabriella Cilmi's one hit wonder? Well regardless of whether you thought it was a shit or hit, this song title couldn't have summed up Friperie's latest Autumn collection. This season we're offering beautiful vintage threads, bright colours, subtle patterns and everything sweet and sickeningly good. However the Friperie woman is multi-faceted and this collection reflects the contradiction. It is all about feminine and masculine, naughty and nice, sweet yet sour, harmless yet toxic. Indeed this Autumn we want to keep you guessing. These pieces will forever keep you puzzled as to whether she is innocuous or fierce, or perhaps one will never really know.

Collection is to be released Monday evening (25th April) at approximately 6pm EST. Giveaway Promo will be launched the following day, Tuesday 26th April. Photos are courtesy once again to the ever talented Janelle Erika at THEDARKHUE Photography.

Love,

I miss you most of all, my darling, when autumn leaves start to fall

Hello lovelies,

Hope your April has been treating you well! It's been remarkably busy on our end of the world but finally our Autumn collection is in the works. We've got a photographer on board and soon we'll be shooting and selling all in the same week. We're just as keen to give away these goodies as much as you want them in your closets so please keep your eyes peeled for the officially release (date TBA but we're looking in around two weeks!). Our officially giveaway promo will also be launched at the same time of the Autumn giveaway so don't hesitate to enter and spread the word.

I've also recently been scheming in regards to Friperie and changes could be happening that could see this little baby take its first steps into the real world. I know I'm talking vaguely but once things are underway we'll keep you in the loop and reveal the major plans! 

Lastly, we have an April guest seller! My lovely friend Janelle has a selected few goodies for sale so please check out her cute pieces on our guest collection page or SHOP HERE. That's all for now. Take care, be healthy, happy and we look forward to lavishing you with some vintage Autumn loving.

Love,
Abi & Friperie

Update

Hi lovelies,

Hope your autumn has been splendid so far! First and foremost, thank you soooo much for all your support and love towards friperie and it's summer collection. Markdowns and items are still available from our "First dates & Big Mistakes" collection, so please snag a bargain or spread the word while they're still up for grabs.

As for our autumn collection, busy schedules and life in general have been the culprit for our delayed timing. Apologies on our part but sorting and shooting should be done towards the end of March for an early April release. Expect pretty party cocktails and some cute warm knits to combat winter's steadying approach! We will be also releasing our belated birthday giveaway this April with some sweet and spoilworthy goodies to lavish you with. So keep your eyes peeled to the noticeboard for more details. Lastly please don't tire of spreading the word and letting your friends, foes and everyone in between of this little baby. Honestly, friperie wouldn't exist to this day without your relentless support and word-of-mouth.

Keep being inspired and excited as we are for what's instore. More love and peace this season,

Abi & Friperie

PS. My gorge friend, Andrea, has joined the online thrift shop family. Show her some love and have a peek at her bargain priced amazing vintage over at Fourth Sunday Threads.

So please note that if it doesn't say or negotiable then this is the final price of the item until further notice. Lastly, our Christmas giveaway is coming soon.
