Markets and Shows!

Hi Everyone

Countdown to Glebe markets this Saturday 28th August 10am to 4pm where I will be selling the Punk Clown range of customised recycled streetwear for kids and the Rainbow Produce Bags. Have put a few more Punk Clown items up on the blog...please look at the previous posts to see the latest additions to the range. Hope all my Sydney friends can be at Glebe. Would love you to drop by and say hi.

Will also be selling the following Saturday 4th September from 1-4.30pm at The Style Exchange on the South Coast. The wonderful Julie Rollinson and Jane Allen are behind this event and it is going to be "an extravaganza of swapping and selling pre-loved fashion, style and image advice and the opportunity to purchase lingerie, handbags, jewellery plus designer garments at heavily discounted prices". I will be there selling the Punk Clown range and gorgeous scarves made from recycled fabrics. It's going to be amazing! All the details of the event are below and in attached flyer.

The evening of Saturday 4th September will be the low key debut of my new character Eartha at the Glitter in the Darkness Cabaret from 7pm at the Headlands Hotel, Austinmer, on the South Coast. Eartha is an eco fashionista who is wild about the planet and will be doing a bit of juggling and entertaining amongst the throng of other live performers on the night. "It's going to be an amazing event and the vibe is going to be beautiful, playful and cheeky - fun for the whole family in the early eventing until 9.30 with lots of live performances and then it ADULTS ONLY for the rest of the night with Sydney's burlesque bombshell, Briana Bluebell". So come along and help fundraise for the gorgeous and talented Heidi Hillier and her show Lost and Found the Sugar Candy Show. See below and attached flyer to find out more!

Heidi will be performing her Lost and Found show in September at the Sydney Fringe Festival. Get along to this too if you can...Heidi is a huge talent! All the details of Heidi's show are below and in attached flyer.

So I will be very busy for the next couple of weeks at Glebe Markets, the Style Exchange, Glitter in the Darkness and Lost and Found. Hope to see you there!

New Product Launch - Rainbow Produce Bags!

Hello Everyone

There is no need to use plastic bags when you do your weekly food shopping any more - Rainbow Produce Bags are here! I am happy to announce that, along with selling the Punk Clown Range, Rainbow Produce Bags will be launched at my stall at Glebe Markets on August 28th.

In line with the environmentally friendly theme of the business, this time I have created something to replace those small plastic produce bags that many of us still end up bringing back from grocery shopping in our environmentally friendly tote bag when we forget to take our recycled plastic bags. With your Rainbow Produce Bags packed inside your tote bag, always at the ready in your handbag, bicycle basket or car, you can now be totally plastic free when you do the weekly shopping!

The bags are made from a range of gorgeously coloured polyester mesh. They are double-stitched and sturdy, have a strong drawstring that closes from both ends making them easy to open and close (no more fighting to open the bag!), machine washable and easily reused, see through so that the cashier knows what to ring up, lightweight so not adding to the scales, suitable for fruit, vegetables and dry foods (rice, grains, beans etc) and there are endless other uses - holding, storing and washing things!

The bags come in a range of colours - purple, mauve, light blue, teal green, mint green and black. They come in three sizes, small (14x23cm - holds other bags, a couple of tomatoes or kiwi fruit), medium (20x30cm - 8 oranges or apples, lentils) and large (27x34cm - greens, carrots, rice).

They can be bought individually or in sets. Special pre-launch prices are: small - $5, medium - $7, large - $9. The set of 3 (1 small, 1 medium, 1 large) is $20. The set of 4 (1 small, 1 medium, 2 large) is $25. Beautifully packaged in the small black polka dot bag, they make a perfect present for an eco-conscious friend. The prices at the launch will be $6 small, $7 small polka dot, $8 medium, $10 large, set of 3 $22, set of 4 $30.

A big thank you to the ever wonderful Lesley Knapp for her creative and business input in helping to develop this product.

I had hoped to find a more sustainable material to make the bags with but polyester mesh was the best option I have been able to source for now. The good thing about the polyester is that its production process, in relation to other mesh materials, is quite clean and the recycling of polyester, although not widespread yet, does happen. And Rainbow Produce Bags have been made to last so there are a lot less plastic bags being used when these are used instead. The quest to find the perfect sustainable material continues though so watch this space!

If you like what you see and would like to buy Rainbow Produce Bags (and take advantage of the pre-launch prices!) but can't make it to Glebe Markets, please email me at leerickwood@y7mail.com.au or call 0405 075 022.

Hope to see you at Glebe on Saturday 28th August!

Punk Clown Range Selling Glebe Markets August 28

Hello Everyone!

The Punk Clown Range of Streetwear for Kids will make its second outing on August 28 at Glebe Markets in Sydney. For those of you in Sydney - hope to see you there!

Have recently posted more photos from the range and will continue to do so leading up to Glebe. Please scroll through the posts to have a browse - there's a huge variety of unique outfits to choose from!

As you are probably already aware, the Punk Clown range is a collection of kids streetwear (newborns to around 6 years old, although there are a couple of larger sizes.) Every item is a free-spirited, unique creation customised and handcrafted from quality recycled clothes.

The size and cost of each item is listed. Prices range from $12 to $40. The sizing is Australian and prices are in Australian dollars.

Warm wishes

Lee
