Bow ties

Hello Darlings,

I've always had a weakness for men in bow ties (see photo below, yum). So you can imagine the excitement that emerged after finding a sexy vintage one hidden beneath my wonderful pile of ancient apparel. It's adorable, satin and black with velcro straps. I simply couldn't discard this item hence why I'm sharing it with all the gent customers of Friperie. Purchase any Mens item from any of our collections (including the repost) and I'll chuck it into the deal for free. Just simply request that you'd like it and it's gladly yours! I'm sure it'll make the Mrs or Mrs- to- be swoon. Shop away!


Love,
Abi & Friperie

P.S. If you're an androgynous kind of girl, just let me know too!

Friperie needs a face project

I've come to realise, actually I've always been aware I've just recently struck enough effort to conduct this, that Friperie has been in existence for seven or so months and still lacks a distinguishable face. We all know how annoying it is to pronounce Friperie in public (myself included) without sounding like a snotty pole-up-my-ass french wannabe or even worse, a defacer of the beautiful language. Hence, Friperie is calling its artistic friends and other strangers keen to stretch their creative bones by creating a logo for this little baby of mine.

Rules & Details:

1. Project starts from the 13 September- 1 October 2010 (12am EST).
2. Email logo and rambles to abigailanncruz@hotmail.com 
3. You must either refer a friend or yourself as Friperie's friend on facebook/twitter/lookbook.
4. Your logo must have the name Friperie somewhere in your design. At the very least the letter F.
5. Any medium is acceptable, please resize your images though to no greater than 640 x480 dimension wise. jpg formats only accepted.
6. The sky is the limit with what I'm looking for thematically/conceptually. The only thing I will hint is that if you intend to draw an intricate colourful Sistine chapel equivalent, you most likely will not be selected. Since its a logo, I'm after something that is original, easy to remember, embodies what Friperie is and is easy to use as a banner, tag etc. So go crazy, absurd and ridiculous. Feel free to attach a short explanation of your idea for the logo if its not self-explanatory.
7. Break a rule and you will not be considered or disqualified from the project.

Prize & Collection:

• Friperie will use the the selected winner's design as their logo (obviously!)
• Credit will be given to selected winner as well as free promotion if desired.
• Since we're still meager as a little hobby, I apologise for not being able to give a stellar prize and instead a small token of appreciation...

• ONE YEAR'S SUBSCRIPTION TO ONE MAGAZINE OF THE FOLLOWING:
• Acclaim Magazine (6 issues a year): http://acclaimmag.com/
• Dumbo Feather Pass It On (4 issues a year): http://dumbofeather.com/
• Hobo Magazine (4 issues a year): http://www.hobomagazine.com/
• Slow Magazine (4 issues a year):http://www.slowmagazine.com.au/
• Yen Magazine (6 issues a year):http://www.yenmag.net/
• Russh Magazine (6 issues a year): http://russhmagazine.com/

•  Winner will be announced on the 8th of October and contacted by email. The winner has one week to reply with their choice of magazine and required details for subscription purposes.
• Friperie will not be held accountable for any delays/alterations in receiving the magazines after it has paid the obligated one years subscription.

All the best and hope to be bombarded with lovely strokes of brilliance!

Love,
Abi

From Paris with Love

To all my beloved customers and friends,

Thank you for your support with the last collection! I am also aware of friperie's long silent treatment. but alas the rest is almost over. Friperie will awake from its hibernation soon end of july and will come to play with a collection of adorable vintage and vintage-esque attire. For now, please be patient, spread the good news (N.B. we have our own facebook fan page so please join http://www.facebook.com/pages/Friperie/119055274780109) and continue to check this frequently for more details and updates.

Abi.
