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

 You can view our Sangria line at our Showroom in NY, Yvette Fry (call for appointment: 212-730-5901) or come visit us at the ENK Accessories Circuit, April 27-29th at the Javits Center, booth # 7602.  We will also have our Spring line available for immediate orders, including free shipping on any orders shipped by May 10th for Mother's Day.

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!
