Lisa's Parts Are Getting Packed Up

Upon my return to the factory after my week at the NYNOW Show(gift show), some of my things were packed up, because alas, while at the show the lawyers finally agreed on some closing dates, the end is sort of finally near, apparently.  After all this time spent waiting, and dates changing, I don't believe it's happening til it does in actuality happen.  But, yes, there are boxes that are (sort of creepily) labeled Lisa's parts, 2nd Floor.  Lisa's parts are, you may have guessed it, all my parts.  Parts that I've made over the years, and vintage parts like buttons, miscellaneous trim and samples.  These are the parts I plan on making some one of a kind pieces to sell on LisaAugust.com in the very near future. 
It's a mix of emotions seeing these boxes packed up.  I'm excited, nervous, sad, intrigued, the list goes on.  Little by little things are being thrown out, packed up, and we're all just trying to go with the flow.  This morning I decided to take a few pictures of some of the things we take with us.

Kind of a deal breaker, our acetate!!!

We have many skids filled with our material, should be quite interesting to get it all moved in

Box of Parts

Another of Many Boxes of Parts

You get the idea...

I'm looking forward to getting it all organized when we move in, so I can start playing with the parts and making up unique designs to sell to Lisa August fans.  It will happen....it will happen...it will happen....

On With The Show

This past weekend was our first trade show as Lisa August Inc.  A very exciting time for us! It would have been nice for there to have been a little more traffic at the show, but our feet are officially wet.  We were at the ENK Accessories Circuit at the Javits Center, and it was very interesting to be there as Lisa August instead of Bellissima.  We had some wonderful reactions from most people, who were excited to see we are still here after a year of not doing the shows.  Some reactions were unexpected, like the people who thought we took over or bought out Bellissima.  We kind of just became Lisa August, or we like to say: Bellissima had a baby, we named it Lisa August.  Some of my favorite reactions were questioning looks, and then people saying hey, wait, this is Bellissima!  Then I would step in and say, still us, just a little different! That's really the best way to describe how we've been feeling: still us, just a little different.

 It was great seeing all who came, and we look forward to seeing more of you at the gift show in two weeks!  We'll be at the Javits again in personal accessories, booth#: 8650.  August 18-21.

It was nice to see Lisa August's name up there for the first time.  We do this show through Yvette Fry Showroom, located in Manhattan, where they permanently display our full line and work by appointment only.

The Booth all set up!

Our back table and the posters I made for the show

Our cute little necklace display.  Thinking about doing a full wall of these in January.

Me and the line!

Lisa August Necklaces 2013

Finishing up my trio of posts about Lisa August's fall line are our necklaces.  Our chain necks are very popular,  because they are bold statement pieces that don't weigh you down.  The Italian acetate that we use to make our chain is highly durable yet lightweight, so you don't get that clunky feeling you find with most statement necks.

Our Bib Neck is our popular flat-link chain doubled and hung on grosgrain ribbon.  It's available in this great mod Zebra pattern, tokyo, jade, peacock and safari

Our Graduated Oval Chain was brought back into the line because it still sells very well, even when not in the line, I decided to stop fighting it and let it back in! 

Our Multi-Colored long skinny chain is available in this striking 'deco' mix of graphic black and whites, black, tokyo and jade.  Our other combo is a neutral mix of tokyo, lapis, peacock, safari and gator. 

This is our long and skinny chain.  It can be worn long or doubled, this is a great go to chain!  Available in Lapis, safari, tokyo and jade.

This is our Beveled Bar neck, on threaded chain.  It's a simple statement, and we love it.  Available in tokyo and jade.

This is our beautiful Triangle Bib chain.  It lays very nicely on the neck, and it packs a punch!  Available in the combination shown, or in an equally beautiful black & white, jade and tokyo combination.

Our flat link chain is very popular, a favorite for many and a true classic.  Available in Tokyo, gator, lapis, tuxedo and safari

Our new Mixed Link Chain is long and unique.  It's available in solid tokyo or solid jade, and available in the following combinations: lapis, safari, peacock and black.

Lisa August Bracelets 2013

Yesterday we focused on our earrings, today we focus on our bracelets.  Our bracelets are a very easy piece to wear.  We've got our cuff bracelets, which are always a great way to dress up your arm, and then we've got our bangles, fun to stack with all sorts of bangles. Here they are:
