Boutique Childrens Clothing studio

2011-12-27T18:33:00.000-08:00

As we start to wrap up the year 2011 alls I can say is Boy oh boy what a year we have had here at Vintage Lucys! We had moved into a much needed larger studio this year located in las vegas nevada where we handmake all of the items you see on our website.

The majority of our items are shipped out worldwide as we supply many high end boutiques and we have managed to keep the boutique stockists growing each year with alot of hard work I might add. We are also thrilled with the photos our customers post on our fb page and send to us in emails with little notes of encouragement and how they absolutly love The Vintage Lucys Clothing line and I must say that is the best part of my job and I love you for sending those to me!

With the closing of this year we are excited about the year 2012 as we have so much planned for Vintage lucys and have had the chance to meet and work with some amazing people. We will have a few new people joining our team this year to make Vl run smoother and grow into the label that it truley is. We will have a head of marketing, a new Trunk Queen™ Coordinator and a new assistant that is going to revamp all of our technical things around here :) Again I would like to thank you all who follow my page and purchase items from my handmade line you are amazing.

Drum Roll please.............

Ok I must say I am totally EXCITED about our new {Rocker chic Line} it is fun and funky with a little shimmer and sparkle with a dash of Up beat attitude! Vintage Lucy's has always blended the love for all things vintage with a little punk rock for a well blended design. I think that is why we set the trends you will see pop up after we release a line {flattered}. This one is all about the shimmer of the 80's with a modern twist. Please post what piece you love the best by VL as we would really love to hear.

2011-11-07T15:41:00.000-08:00

Happy Halloween!

2011-10-31T09:00:00.000-07:00

I must admit this is my favorite holiday besides christmas! It also holds a special place in my heart as this was my older brothers favorite holiday before he passed away...he would even decorate his car lol. We just moved so im not even unpacked all the way but I did manage to find time to decorate a tad bit and wanted to share with you {nothing special but fun} :)

I totally love halloween so feel free to post any of your pics on my facebook page...We did a cemetary in front of the house but the wind has managed to destroy it so when I get home today I will have to fix it all up before the trick or treaters come. Also did you know read below on the other halloween post as I am going to be doing a giveaway with halloween vl item pics :) Ok now off to sewing my new line I hope you all have a SPOOKTACULAR halloween :)

Behind the scenes peek

2011-10-29T21:00:00.000-07:00

We Have continued to grow this year and opened a brand new warehouse/studio in Las Vegas Nevada where we will be holding open studio events really soon as we are working hard on having enough stock not to disappoint any travelers :) With growth comes some pains and boy have we had ours as this started out as a small handmade business and eventually grew into what it is today as I employee 2 full time assistants and continue to grow. We have had alot of trial and errors but have managed to tackle each one and will continue to do so as needed. Did you know that when I source out I not only try to get all supplies from usa based manufacturers but I also try and use mom and pop business which one day just might help our economy out. {fingers crossed} Ok ok no politics on here.

I would like to thank you for reading my blog and hopefully purchashing something from my line for you or your little ones as your continued support is a blessing and It enables me to do what I absolutly have loved since childhood and that is design {I always love to create and design} Stay tuned as I will be posting a new line the end of next week.

The ugly side of the boutique business!

2011-07-13T07:20:00.000-07:00

REASON FOR THIS POST is because this company is publicly defaming us!

Lets just start a couple months ago on a beautiful sunny day in Los Angeles fabric district in Good old california! Me and my assistants went out fabric shopping for trims and fabrics and what ever else we could find in this crafters haven. We are on the look out for of course anything with a vintage feel to it and something that we could introduce in our line to go under our dresses as we have requests all the time for bottoms lol.

Well I found the perfect fabric its a ruffled poly nylon and comes in an array of colors and looks like what they used to make sunsuits out of when my mom was a little girl in the 40's and 50's and it is marketed and made to be used for swimsuits, lingerie and leggings per the manufacturer so duh of course I want it ....leggings of course we are shopping for bottoms and now I have scored and ordered thousands of dollars of this beautiful fabric and wait for delivery.

In the mean time I make a few posts about my find and what shall I make with it because I love my customers feedback and it was great. Well then comes the ugly a seller had contacted me a few days before telling me how she knows alot of girls that copy me are just jealous { i have all screenshots via etsy convos of this} I of course thank her for this comment and move on...little to my knowledge did I know she worked with ruffle fabric so about 3 days later I do another preview of the fabric on facebook and here she comes bombarding my page with comments refering my customers to purchase these pants anywhere except for vintage lucys yet when I confront her she tells me she is helping me out????? Are you serious helping me out you are trying to steal my business and then the emails...I YI YI the emails did not stop she went on a rampage about the ruffled fabric and how she must think she owns it and nobody can use it but here...well at least not vintage lucys in her eyes...but wait doesnt the manufacturer in los angeles market this as a legging fabric...why yes they do and I am going to continue to use them as this is a pretty universal fabric and pattern and I will not be bullied by her into not making them....she is now going around saying she is a victim of vintage lucys.

This post is just to let you know there is a very ugly side to this business especially if you are even a bit sucessful all the jealousy comes out and then the no talent that wants to take a ride on the coat tails of a successful shop and believe me thats another story but we have been harassed by 3 shops over a two year period that are all connected together and copy and try to put down our business.

Thankfully we have the most wonderful customers who support original handmade products and of course the terrible wait it can be to get the goodies and we fully understand that our customers are our success and we love ya. xoxo

I finally have time to sit down and have a cup of coffee and update you all! I know that my blog has been a little forgotten lately and that would be due to facebook...there are just way to many venues these days with social networking but they are all good :) Anyways this has just been a crazy crazy year we moved to another state, opened a store, moved back to vegas and in the mean time Vintage Lucys was just bursting at the seams and we could not control Nor keep up with it {thats a good thing}.

We had a very very hard time keeping up with all of the retail orders along with our stockists and are hoping for a much smoother year...I want to THANK all of you who patiently waited for orders and mishaps while we tried our best to accomodate the vast amount of orders we where getting.

2011 is very exciting for us we have so much planned for Vintage Lucys and hope to expand our business a bit more and have also employed some peeps to help with the work load this year {major sigh of relief by me} Anyways I wish you all a happy new years and hope you stop by in time to take a peek at our VALENTINE DRESSES

New additiions!

2010-10-12T09:09:00.001-07:00

New additions to my family that is :) I was so sad after the loss of my two cats a few mos ago and I really felt a void with out them. I guess you can call me a cat lady lol as I made the decision to get my daughter bailey a free kitty shes a mix but she looks like the most beautiful siamese and she has the sweetest personality ever. Bailey named this little one may and she has brought such smiles to our house!

The second addition is a cat I named Zukko..well actually bailey named him but I liked it as it reminded me of grease but I guess its an avatar as bailey informed me lol. Zukko is a beautiful savannah cat and he is a little larger than you average cat as he is mixed with a wild african serval! This cat is the most amazing and loveable animal I have ever met...He even plays fetch with a ball and is walking on the leash {very fast learner}. Ok I dont want to bore you to death but just wanted to share my new kitties!

2010-08-26T12:35:00.000-07:00

Minuit bloom {fall/winter collection} coming September 1st 2010. I named this collecton Minuit bloom ={ Midnight bloom in french} because I used french inspired graphics for my tshirts and started adding romantic laces and trims to them along with bold floral fabrics with colors that are perfect for the fall. All of the pieces in the collecton can pretty much be mixed and matched with each piece. This is a small collection but I think you may enjoy it. I am also so excited to have Amy Childers shooting the collection!

Goodbye to my most precious babies.

2010-08-26T08:30:00.001-07:00

It is a sad month around here after the loss of our two cats Roo {15 year old cat} and Tye our 6 year old bengal cat. We moved back to vegas the beginning of July to a different area that we where not to familiar with and sadly there are coyotes here but the city does not bother to post any signs around letting people know or new residents to the area.
My cat tye went missing after 2 weeks of being here and I was hoping he was just lost or turned around and me and the kids put up signs all over the area and offered a reward on craigslist and have been to the humane society on many occasions looking for him.
Well a few weeks later roo went out for his nightly sitting on the porch routine after the day cooled down that is what he loved to do and sadly I was exhausted and went to bed and did not realize he didnt come back in. This normally would not be big deal unless I knew the surroundings where so dangerous. When I realized the next morning he was gone I knew it was not good....This cat lived and breathed with me he was my baby he would be with me all day long and wake me up with a headbut and big purr for the last 15 years.
I was informed by many people on craigslist and the neighborhood that they see the coyotes come out at dusk and wander the park where my kids play WHAT are you kidding and no signs posted anywhere to warn parents of coyotes...this is crazy the city of henderson!!! Well this is a rambling post so I will stop now just wanted to post pics and say goodbye to my beautiful pets that will be dearly missed and I will never forget the way that they had to leave the earth :(

New house :)

2010-07-24T09:18:00.000-07:00

As some of you may know I moved back to las vegas this month and let me tell you it wasnt easy this time lol. We drove over 18 hours with 5 kids and a couple pets. The drive was beautiful we took the route where we went through donners pass which I must say in a moving truck it was quiet bumpy and kind of scary! When we arrived it was probably about 102 degrees outside which was perfect as it is a dry heat and feels more like high 80s.

I just wanted to share pics of my kids playing in the pool last weekend as I did get to spend the day off work and enjoy the pool with them. I cant believe how fast they grow My oldest son is going to be driving very soon Eeek that is going to be fun right {lol}. Anyways I love my new house and im just getting settled...new furniture arrived yesterday {lots of my antique furniture did not survive the move this time}. Hope you all are having a great summer with your family.

Well I am leaving Portland Oregon after relocating here 9 mos ago. Oregon is a {beautiful place} and there is a reason for it being so green and its a thing called rain and lots of gray skies! I didnt think it would bother me but being raised in a Southern California beach community and then later moving to sunny Las Vegas it has...I so crave the sun and so does my family so we are hitting the road in the wee hours of Tuesday morning to go back to good ol Las vegas and I have a house with a nice pool waiting for me ;) I Loved loved loved opening up Vintage lucys boutique on alberta street and had such fun I mean I didnt even get the ball rolling on it before I decided I was going to high tail it back to vegas...Which is totally ok with me as I can make that happen where ever I go and I have something much better in mind but its a secret! So with that said wish me luck on an 18 hour drive with 5 kids and yes a few furry friends are coming along too lol.

Wow I didnt know............

2010-04-12T16:21:00.000-07:00

I was contacted about a month ago by a sweet customer who was so relieved to find me and wrote me on how hard and long it was and I was so flattered that people have searched for my items! I have worked on Vintage lucys for some time now and have made a loyal following of customers and boutiques around the world and I am greatful for it and still love to hear customers stories and WOW they actually search for me. Ok so I have copied and pasted what she wrote {per her approval} it made my day so I just wanted to share with you all as word of mouth does help :)

Hi again! Now that I know they are american apparel, I will take them into the store to try them on this week! That way I will know for sure :). WELL..it all started with a friend last summer hehe. She had a Vintage lucys shirt for her daughter, I asked where she got it and she said she found it at a consignment shop. She is the one who told me it was vintage lucys. I then searched relentlessly on Ebay to find out where to find the shirt, I had never heard of Etsy at this point. Fast forward a few unsuccessful months. I then had one of my favorite Ebay sellers list a lot of 3 vintage lucy shirts, but WAY too big. I asked her where she bought them and she said she had no idea as they were a gift. I was getting frustrated at this point hehe. In November, I joined a message board and FINALLY someone there was able to give me my answer. SO , I discovered Etsy today..and I don't see me going back. I wish I had known about this site sooo long ago, I would have had so much fun!! Now it's time to make up for lost time =). First on the agenda was to find the shirt..and I'm SO glad I have!! I feel accomplished for the day hehe. And while looking through your things, I fell in love with the Tough Girl shirt for my youngest. She's a rough and tumble little girl hehe..and it suits her personality amazingly! Sorry..that was really long!!! Well, I will get them to try on the shirts at some point in store this week and get right back to you...I'm thrilled needless to say! Thanks for getting back to me so quickly :)
