Another Trade Show Season Over

It's the end of August, and the end of another trade show season.  We were very happy with it!  We saw a lot of old familiar faces, and met some new people too!  This year at the gift show we 'splurged' on one of those kiosk displays in the lobby, and it brought many people into the booth.  We are showing some really great fall colors this year, and we loved all of our positive feedback!

Our tapered hoop continues to sell very well, of course it sells in tokyo and safari, but it also sold very well in grey mist

Always and forever....

The images below are some of our stand-out best sellers of the season, if we missed you at the shows and you need a little guidance, these pieces were the favorites at both shows.

Our two classic filigree cuffs (in all colors)  are having a revival moment right now!

They always are up there as sellers, but they really were almost on every order!

Our long and skinny combination necklaces always do well, but this season's hues were really well-received.  Here it's shown in grey mist/safari/black but is also available in sangria mixed with tokyo and black, and gold mixed with tokyo and black(I already own one in this combo!)

This is our heavier linked chain necklace, looking very rich in grey mist.  Perfect for a crisp white shirt!

Our triple bib did really well, again in this grey mist combination, but also the gold combo and the sangria combo.  It's on grosgrain ribbon and has an extender.

These earring are the perfect shape and size with the perfect about of fall/holiday bling! We love them, and people bought them in all colors.

Our organic link bib neck is are biggest statement necklace, and many buyers were immediately drawn to it.  I can't really blame them.  It's lots of fun to wear!

This new chain looked so nice on, it's long, but makes a statment, and the colors just look gorgeous together.  It's available in the gold combination shown or in a grey mist combination.

This is our new buckle bracelet, and it got a lot of play.  People still bought the regular buckle bracelet, but this one was very eye catching, and well received in all colors.

Keeping it real in Queens This Fall

We are proud and excited to announce that we will have a booth at the LIC Flea and Food for the last three weekends in October!  It's been a minute since we've done a sale, and we are looking very much forward to it!  Especially in our favorite borough:)

The LIC Flea and Food has lots of vendors selling antique housewares, jewelry and vintage clothing.  Also, as the name implies, there are plenty of food options.  Personally I'm looking forward to getting me some Luke's lobster rolls.  It's also a family oriented market, with plenty for the kids to do.  

We thought October would be a great time of year to be a part of this, so come on out and visit us on a couple of crisp fall Saturdays or Sundays!

More info to follow as we get closer to October!

Fall '15 is Here!

It's that time again: trade show season.  We are really excited about the line, and are looking forward to showing it off!

You have two chances to come see us in New York:

ENK Accessories Circuit

Sunday, August 2nd- Tuesday, August 4th

Booth # 8302

NYNOW

Sunday, August 16th-Wednesday, August 19th

Booth #: 8517

Some new styles we are most excited to debut are:

We updated our tribal earring by dropping crystal balls on them.  We're loving this new look, especially for holiday!

Our triple threaded rhinestone bracelet in new color combinations

We've added new statement bibs in both solid and fun combinations.  We are loving our new gold mixed with tortoise and black.  It's neutral and bold at the same time, and definitely a winter staple.

Our new colletted tear drop earrings first started out as a custom necklace Lisa made for Lenore a few years back.  She has finally put it in the line to share with the masses!

We turned our old organic link necklace into a bib neck, and we just love how it looks on!  We are particularly loving it in our newest color, Grey Mist 

 

This new tear drop necklace is hung on black cord, and is a pull-over style necklace.  Looks fabulous on!

Lastly, our new modern buckle cuff is wider and has even cleaner lines than our original, and we think it makes some perfect wrist candy!

Fall is Gold and Grey

I've been working on Fall and Holiday's line, and I am loving it so far!

I brought back a gold we used back in the day as Bellissima.  I loved it then, and I love it even more now!  It looks so gorgeous and rich mixed with tortoise and black, I think everyone is going to love it!  It's glitzy but not over the top and can definitely be mixed in with other textures and jewelry.

Our other color that we had made for this season was what we are calling Grey Mist.  It's like a grey marble.  It's not totally opaque, and it has rich beautiful layers of all tones of grey.  Not 50 shades, but many shades, and more classy, hehe...

Some pics of our fall progress:

Our colors for fall from left: Black, Sangria, Grey Mist, Gold, Safari and Turquoise

Our newest color, Grey Mist arrives from Italy!!!

Our organic link chain gets a make-over: more links, three layers on grosgrain.  We love it!

Another layered neck in gold, black and tortoise: I love this combo!!!

Just love it!

Sangria Time

As we celebrate Spring I'm stuck with the task of thinking about early fall, and I went ahead and jumped on the 'Pantone Color of the Year' bandwagon and chose some marsala influenced colors that I'm calling Maroon and Sangria.  These deep hues are rich and very easy to wear, easy on the eyes and pair wonderfully with our classic Tokyo tortoise.

One of our favorite necklaces now is Sangria.

Sangria and maroon mixed with our Tokyo tortoise

Our leaf wrap bracelet in rich maroon.

One of our most popular necks for summer, this is our tortoise ring neck wrapped with marsala hued thread

Matching earrings, a fun twist on a tortoise hoop

Marsala inspired stack of skinny cuffs

Our new necklace that I'm loving.  It's long, bold and perfect for a plain black top or dress

Did You Know We Sell Eyeglass Chains?

We have been selling these functional but not farty eyeglass chains for years, but kind of only to our customers who knew about them.  Kind of like when you order off the menu in a restaurant.  I've decided it is time to start publicizing these little blessings for 'women of a certain age'.  When a buyer notices them at our shows she gets so excited, and usually exclaims how she has been looking for them for ages, or owns one but her friends all want one too and never knew where to get them.  It's nice to be needed, so it is time to go public with our Eyeglass chains!

My plans in the next month are to start really putting a lot of energy into updating some of our styles and adding color and other elements to the designs.

Some people sometimes balk at the price of our eyeglass chains, but these hand-made necessities are for the long haul, not an impromptu purchase because you left yours at home.  I know some women who have had their same chain for over ten years.  I'm not saying you have to wear the same eye chain for ten years, but you could is the point, and it'll always look good. 

Below are our current styles, soon to be joined with some new friends!

Soon this will be available to purchase wholesale for your company on our website.   If you have any questions or would like our line sheet to order these chains please email us at sales@lisaaugust.com

Showtime!

Ah, trade show season.   Exactly what we need after the holiday season!  ENK Accessories Circuit has come and gone, and in a couple weeks the NY NOW will be upon us.  I'm looking forward to this show.   It does very well for us, we get to see a lot of old friends and the booth is going to have a new look! 
THEN, a couple weeks later we are heading west for the WWD Magic show in Vegas!  We haven't done this show in years, and it seems very different than it used to be.  I'm looking forward to some fresh faces and maybe reconnecting with some buyers who don't make it to New York, and why should you in the winter time! (Except for the NY NOW of course!)

Come see us!
