Che Camille - Harris Tweed Exhibition

What a lovely night we had at the launch for Che Camille's Harris Tweed Month. Yummy cocktails, fashionistas and istos, stunning roof terrace, tweed clad models and 'the dress'! The most beautiful dress I ever did see...

We went along with a group of our Fantoosherie Dolls and after a few glasses of wine in Sloans headed up for some mingling (we thought for a second we might not get in though, seemed like the builders were getting a bit angry!!) We wandered around dreaming of all the things we would buy if we could, a leather dress in the back corner really caught my eye!! There was also another Jewellery Designer who had dabbled in working with tweed, her necklaces were beautiful and unusual, who ever thought tweed could be so versatile!

Moving on to non Tweed related subjects...there is a new design studio/exhibition space created by Andre Daniels, Karen Andrews and Marianne Vosloo opening its doors tomorrow night from 7pm. The arts and crafts Studio is on Hayburn Lane, just off Clarence Drive. It will be host to weekly exhibitions of selected artists...there will be tattoos, paintings, jewellery, photography, film making, jewellery, glass work, graffiti...the list goes on! Come along and tomorrow night and see for yourself! Fantoosherie will be displaying a range!

Until next time...stay fancy!

Harris Tweed - We are Backing the new 'Cottage Couture'

The weavers of Harris Tweed, in the Mills of the Outer Hebrides, are reviving Britains famous fabric to its former glory and slowly but surely it is once again becoming a luxury product for high end fashion, and thanks to Che Camille, we have bagfulls!!

So what better to do with endless supplies of scraps than to turn them into beautiful accessories? We have tweed bow necklaces, tweed bow brooches, pleated tweed necklaces entwined with gold chain and tweed bow bracelets, its becoming a passion! You can find our tweed delights in Che Camille. Follow the link to have a look at some of the beautiful Harris Tweed garments you can pick up there http://checamille.com/index.php?option=com_ezstore&Itemid=50 We are also going to have are own wee bit of wall space to showcase our new 'Tweedage' at the exhibition opening this Thursday.

In other news...Sloans Market. It was fun to be back, lots of new faces to see. Our best customer was a French Lady who bought 2 necklaces, 2 rings and a pair of beautiful lace earings! We tried to employ her as our overseas sales person and while she was not intersted in this full time position she said that she would tell all her French friends about Fantoosherie Fancies...thank you!

Thats all on the jewellery front for today. I (Kirsty) am off to the MOBOs tonight and have absolutely no idea what I am going to wear! I have to go power shopping in my lunch break and on a very small budget try and get a dress, a beautiful sequin jacket (Topshop) and shoes all suitable for the red carpet!

Until next time...Stay fancy!
