Our newest stockist from all the way over in Sydney, Australia is an on-line store recently launched, called Everything Begins. A smart and super cleanly designed website, this new shop’s goal is to find the newest and the most interesting designer-maker and artists’ products. Homewares, interiors, accessories, fashion, men’s and women’s wear, kids and gifts. Which of course, can only mean that they are dedicated to stocking the best of the best from around the world. I’m glad to say that that includes a good number of British independents. We’re in fabulous company sitting amongst A Little Bit of Art, Lou Rota, Abigail Brown, Alphabet Bags, We Love Kaoru and The Future Mapping Company.

We’re very pleased and excited to announce that we are going to be part of The Cross’ Christmas pop up shop. It’s taking place from this Friday (the 2nd) until Sunday the 4th of December 2011, opening from 10am until 6pm each day.

There will be a spectacular line up of The Cross Shop’s stockists on sale including footwear, jewellery, knitwear, fashion, homewares and toys from The Jacksons, Penelope Chilvers, Queene and Bell, Dandy Star, Catherine Tough, Jane Wheeler, Lilly and Lionel, Wilbur and Gussie, and Petra Boase, amongst many others. Come down and see us and get Christmas wrapped up in one go. Hurray!

The pop up shop will be at 12, St. Albans Grove, London W8 5PN, near Kensington High Street at the (now closed) Wodka restaurant site. Please see A on the map below for location of the shop.

It was our birthday and we’re now ten!

So, a couple of posts ago (Happy Birthday to us!) we mentioned that it was our birthday. In case you missed it, we’re now ten years old and we’ve had a few things lined up to help us celebrate.

Some of our very good friends have got involved too. We had our very limited birthday card designed by Rob Ryan with our special edition Tatty Devine leather ‘Mimi’ lady and ‘Dora’ dog birthday badge attached to it which is currently available to buy at the showroom on Winkley Street, through our website and online at Tatty Devine. There are only a few left so you’ve gotta be quick!

We also had a wonderful party where lots of our friends and members of the press came down to see our Autumn/Winter 2011 collection. This also marked the beginning of our Mimi Berry pop up shop at Tatty Devine. Tatty are very kindly hosting us until just after Christmas at their Brick Lane shop (236, Brick Lane, London E2 7EB. T: 020 7739 9191).
Here’s a map in case you don’t know where it is.

So for all of you who are missing the heady smell of leather in the old Mimi shop and for all of our new customers, do please come down and try out all the new season’s bags. You can pick yourself a lovely Tatty necklace at the same time. It will be very nice to see all you regulars as well as meeting all the new faces!
