All things Velvet!

Lately I have been really drawn to velvet as a fabric. I seem to be searching it out, rooting through piles to come up with some vintage velvets to work with. One of the newest editions to the shop has been our new velvet tudor style boleros with theatrical sized corsage embellishment. I am looking forward to rocking these babies out in Gold, ivory, grey, merlot, red, fawn, teal.......... basically any colour I can get my hands on in a rich sumputous velvet.

This piece is also going to debut in a really awesome PR piece very soon! !! stay tuned. ;)

Fall Staples!

So with the onset of Fall (well if I'm honest, Fall never quite left Ireland last year, we have had about 5 sunny days this summer!) I digress, sorry, I was musing bout the onset of fall and the new range of products ahoy!

There has been a lot of movement in bonzie land of late which I will be sharing with you guys very soon! its all very exciting. ;0

There will be an influx of new products coming for Autumn and the Christmas season! The shop has been a lot of neck wear (well we love neck wear round here) but I have been hankering for some more new jackets, dresses, corsets etc and they are coming to an etsy shop near you real soon!

for now here are the latest additions the fall line, Crushed Black Velvet Couture scarves, decadent and classy yet they have a slight Gothic edge to them which I love too! Would look super over a plain coat or polo neck this Autumn/Winter. Limited stock available now at the boutique :)

Custom Orders Frenzy!

So..............the ol blog is seeing a lack of action of late - (insert excuse here!).....

lol

no really, its the Custom Orders in the shop. As I approach the end of my first year on etsy I have seen a lot of developments and patterns emerging in the structure of the shop. One such scary development is the custom order frenzy that has appeared literally overnight!

Too many Custom orders = Crazy lady designer formally known as Bonzie! lol

The month of July I put a close on custom orders to catch up on a personal project, when I opened up August again I had a custom list so long it brought me out in a rash! So whilst still trying to make my way through it , the orders are still coming in..........and in.......and in..lol

So heres the solution. As much as I really love that the shop is progressing and I feel really blessed that so many people enjoy the label. I have had to assess the structure of custom orders in order to progress without getting over busy.

After getting through the current list I will have a new system of just updating the shop regularly with the most popular products. I will have very limited custom order abilities whilst I focus on just keeping the shop stocked up. I will miss the surprise element of creating one of a kind pieces for individuals (such as the piece pictured above) but I am inviting some organisation into my life and would really relish a taste of sanity again. :)

I hope you guys can continue to enjoy the shop, new systems and all
