Bye-bye Berhampore

Having had an amazing 3 years in our Adelaide Road boutique/workroom, sadly it is time to say au revoir.

This Friday 26th & Saturday 27th October is our last weekend and we're having a HUGE workroom sale.
Everything's reduced...clothing, samples, fabric, vintage bric-a-brac...lots of treasures looking for a new home.

I have thoroughly enjoyed meeting all the lovely locals (and not so local) folks that have popped in and taken home a pretty dress, cosy cardi or gorgeous gift, and helped take emma from a home based, single handed business to a fashion label dressing some of the nicest and most stylish women in our cool creative capital, Wellington, and beyond.

I'm really lucky to have had this opportunity and must thank my 'landlords' the marvellous Maranui Surf Club cafe, all the local craftswomen who have supplied such beautiful stock, Hannah my awesome assistant and you for supporting New Zealand made businesses (nice one ladies,keep it up:)

Hope to see you this weekend & toast to a jolly good past and a future full of lots more journeys in fashion, cheers!!

Summer print breezes into emma

We all like hanging out with our gal-pals and it's even more cool when you get to create stuff with them too!

Karin Amdal (she of Filiokus fame and many other clever creative projects:) and I got together to design a brand new summer print for my Vacationer collection which would take it's inspiration from summer picnics and days spent lazing on the beach.

Ahhh, yes idyllic....but we weren't content just with that and thought it needed a little local flavour to make it more 'us'.

Now if you know Wellington at all it's famous for it's relentless wind (we're not complaining, honest) so we decided to add a wee zephur, or two, breezing through the artwork and now we have our very own 'spin' on summer!

Screenprinted by the local lads at Brazen in tones of grey, pink, sky blue and red it now graces the front of my Sandie beach scoop back top which is in-store now.

So great to work with you Karin, big thanks.
