Hi cherubs!

Just wanted to remind you all that our July collection, entitled "In a Winter Wonderland" will be released tonight (Monday 25th July 2011) on the collections page of this website! We aim to get it up and running by 6pm tonight so please be on the lookout! We would appreciate spreading the word and letting all your friends, fiends and lovers about our collection. Secondly we will also be releasing the non-edited original version of all the photos on our facebook page tonight after its initial launch on this website. Please note that the quality of the photographs aren't as lovely as usual due to editing but please do not hesitate to contact me for further information on specific pieces. We are beyond excited to serve you delicious and warm nibbles from our closet and hope to receive your emails soon (via friperiesydney@hotmail.com).

See you all tonight!
Much love and thanks,

Winter warmers

Hi lovelies,

I hope you are all well, and that your winter has been a relentless yet delicious cycle of snuggles, hot chocolate, credit card damage and reverse cycle air conditioning. I know we're all dying for spring to emerge out of the grizzly mornings and nights we are currently experiencing but while we wait, I hope you'll embrace Friperie's winter collection for 2011. After delays due to busy schedules and uncooperative weather, we've finally gotten this collection shot and ready for editing and release. Firstly, thank you immensely to my amazing friend Andrea (http://hausofstylelovers.blogspot.com/) for shooting the collection and braving the bed weather and winds!

Although this collection is quite smaller than the regular, we hope that the pieces won't disappoint. We have a few mens/unisex pieces so please spread the word to ladies, mens and everyone in between. It's all about vintage threads, warm outerwear and cute little cocktails for layering. The collection will be released on MONDAY 25 APRIL 2011 6PM EST. Please save the date to memory, phone, hand etc. Please don't forget that we do ship internationally so our overseas lovers feel free to send us an email. Last but not least, please contact our new email address for enquiries and purchases at friperiesydney@hotmail.com.

Until Monday
infinite love,

Abi & Friperie

Admin and Winter collection

Hello lovelies,

Hope your winter has been a delightful excuse to stock up on warm knits, faux fur, knee highs and layer upon layer of basics. Just a little update from our side of the world, beginning from our winter collection release in July (specific date TBA) all inquires and emails will be directed to this email address: friperiesydney@hotmail.com. If we are still in negotiation for items from any of the previous collections via my personal email address, don't worry I will still reply, however it will be through the new and exclusive friperie email address. Secondly, as you know our anticipated winter collection is in the works and will be shot and released sometime in July. Next week I will get into contact with photographers as well as filtering through the inventory for some amazing pieces that won't just warm your little bodies! Lastly please continue to support us through our twitter page as well as our facebook page for updates, inspirations, info about our friends and everything in between.

Until then,
Much love and thanks

Abi & Friperie

 ps. wouldn't mind one of those to snuggle with all winter, wouldn't you?

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.
