Hey folks! This week’s newsletter shines a spotlight on our sponsor Lucy and Odie, a new alternative fashion retailer! Read on to learn more about this brand.
What is the story behind your store and brand logo? Our logo is the Odie, our family dog, with peonies in the background. Peonies represent prosperity in Chinese culture.
What would your store “elevator pitch” be? We are a “slow alternative fashion” company. We carry pieces that are designed by small designers, vintage, or ourselves.
How has your store evolved since its inception? Oh, a lot! We are still in the middle of rebranding. We started with only lolita dresses, and then we evolved to alternative fashion. We have decided to go one step further to make our company a slow fashion company to be more sustainable and conscientious.
What kind of products can people expect to find in your store? We will now carry up-and-coming original design dresses, vintage pieces, original design accessories, original design lolita and dresses, and more.
Currently, we only released our Plaid Pleated skirt collection, which our community has received well.
What is your favorite Lucy and Odie original item? The plaid pleated skirts so far, but there are more to come!
Where can people find you online? We have not officially launched yet, but we are preparing for Jan 2020 launch; people can find us at lucyandodie.com; the e-store is under construction.
Correction: last week, we erroneously used the term “reseller” to describe remote vendor Flores Astorum. In general, resellers buy up items from other brands and add markup to sell them at a profit, which is not Flores Astorum’s business model. We sincerely apologize for the error and have corrected the word “reseller” to “retailer.”
As always - here are our pertinent reminders and announcements about RVR 2021:
- Are you looking for our programming schedule? We’ve been hard at work solidifying every last detail. We plan to upload a schedule for all to view this weekend - watch our website for updates!
- Coord contest entries are open now! Sign up for our handmade or Lolita fashion coord contests by November 14. Please note that all contest entries must be recognizable as Lolita fashion, Lolita fashion-adjacent (Ouji, EGA, etc.), or a fusion of Lolita fashion with another J-fashion style. If you have any questions, reach out to us at info@prettyprincess.club.
- Reminder that if you’re interested in selling at the swap meet, we need you to reserve a table on Eventbrite - please note that this is a different Eventbrite link than our main ticket sales! Table reservations cost $15, and we will sell tables up until the event or while supplies last. Thank you for your support, and please direct any questions to PPC staffer Ruthie!
- Do you have a talent? Do you love to sing or dance? Are you a stand-up comedian? Let us point you at our Open Mic Night! Open Mic Night will be held Friday night, November 19, at RVR.
