Clothes and decorations!

Wow, things at the Loft have been so busy! We have so much new stuff in, on the weekend I picked up a big collection of shoes and in the last few days we have had three big deliveries of summer clothes. It has been a real mixed bag of vintage clothing, including some amazing 80's dresses and some great light weight pants, as well as some great modern pieces by Wish, Cooper St, Angel Wings and some sweet Armani jeans.
And to top off such a busy week, today I started decorating the shop for Christmas. So the shop is looking great and very full, and we will be very busy tomorrow steaming and tagging the new stock.

         

Have a great weekend!

Busy busy...

Hello!

I may have been a bit quiet in cyber space lately, but I have been very busy behind the scenes, trust me! There are lots of exciting things on the horizon for The Loft upstairs. At the moment I am working on all new signage/logo/business cards etc. I'm trying to inject some colour. Unfortunately I am no photoshop wiz and it is taking me ages!! But I'm hoping to get there in the end :-) Also lots of new stock in this week!

Here is a little preview of the new signage....

I'll be sure to put up a fresh Outfit of the Day on Tues :-)

Welcome to The Loft Blog!

The idea for this blog is to showcase some lovely pieces and give some inspiration into some of the possible ways to wear and style our items.

Recycled fashion is very exciting because of the way you can be on-trend but in a unique way with one-off items, or you can be totally crazy and quirky with your look all while helping the environment by recycling. What amazing and unique piece will you find?!



A late afternoon in Autumn...
