Changes & Improvements

2008-03-19T13:06:00.000-07:00

We've been busy busy busy at Brownies trying to improve your shopping experience. Check out what we've been up to:

*We've pumped up our online sales. Check out our "etsy mini" to the left or click on our shop link http://brownies.etsy.com and go directly to our etsy store.
We wanted to make Brownies available to the people who couldn't make it into our store on a regular basis.

*Return of our monthly Art Shows: We have once again started up with our monthly art shows but this time they are BETTER THAN EVER. We have teamed up with our new neighbor store Indie Industries who will be hosting an artist of their own. We will be bringing you DOUBLE ART SHOWS with 2-4 artist displaying between our two stores.
Join us every 2nd Friday of the month for the Opening Receptions: meet the artists, enjoy free snacks & wine, and shop saving 10% off both stores.

* All of our sale items are mixed in on the racks so all you have to do is take a peek at the price tag and look for "30% off" or "50% off" written directly on the tag. You will find this on items scattered throughout the entire store.

*New Local/Indie Designers. We have been working our tushies off to bring you new clothing & accessory designers. Pop in and check out all our new stock.
If you know of anyone who would be a good fit in Brownies or have a favorite Indie designer you'd like to see us carry, just drop us a line and we'll see what we can do.

*Expanded Pants section. We've expanded our pants section so you have more to choose from in each size. You'll find a ton of New-Old-Stock pants (as well as tshirts, shoes, & blouses).

Remember: We add new stock EVERY THURSDAY. Don't miss first dibs on all the amazing new stock we add every week.

57 Giraffes

2007-09-01T13:22:00.000-07:00

Talk about cute!

This bay area designer blows me away every time I see a new shipment of her clothing. She has an amazing eye for color and prints which helps her create some of the cutest clothing I've see in a long time.

Upon inspection you can tell her items are extremely well made and a lot of care has gone in to them. No need for special hand washes here. Her clothing is durable and can stand up to a washing machine.

I have many pieces from this artist and she is one of the biggest sellers in our store Brownies Vintage.

57 Giraffes clothing & accessories can be purchased in boutiques across the nation, as well as on ebay and etsy.

http://www.myspace.com/57giraffes

Visit her myspace for more information or come right in to the store and try a few pieces on.
