• That Gleam In Her Eye...

  Published Jun 28 2019 in Cherry Velvet, Customer Appreciation, Fashion, handmade revolution, jewelry, Made In Canada, what's new

  As a proudly Canadian company, we love working with local brands and businesses that exemplify the level of care & quality that we maintain ourselves.
  
  ...So...that being said...
  
  ...have you met Pam? ♥️

  
  
  She's the lovely face & talented hands of Mirror Mirror Bijoux, a well-known local jewellery designer here in Vancouver, BC and an overall entrepreneurial force.
  
  She also loves our dresses 😘 (She's Team Chrissy!)

  
  
  Under MMB, she designs and handmakes vintage-inspired jewellery that echoes old Hollywood glamour. Primarily working in crystal and glass, she adds elegant detail like ethereal finishes that sparkle like the night's sky. 

  She’ll often also incorporate real vintage beads or brooches into her pieces, giving that legit Vintage vibe.

  

  CV Aficionados will be quite familiar with her & MMB, we not only carry her jewellery, including exclusive pieces, but she sometimes drops by our events...
  
  
  
  ...and often pops in to collaborate with our designer, on the next beautiful baubles to go with our dresses. 
  
  
  
  Whenever they meet, they pour over a multitude of beads and pendants, to create complementary pieces that add versatility and flair to our clients' wardrobe. 
  
  
  
  
  Recently, she's branched out to save us all from the worst thing imaginable...A bad hair day!
  Have you tried a Great Hair Day Turband? We have!
  
  
  
  They're easy-to-wear, insta-wow accessories for those days when a ponytail or plain ol' hat simply won't do.
  
  
  
  Want to try one? Pam will be on hand at our next studio shop weekend @ 1635 Powell Street with a variety to try!  
  
  Friday :: July 5th :: 2pm-7pm 
  Saturday :: July 6th :: 11am-5pm 
  
  We hope you enjoyed this little spotlight on one of our favourite local entrepreneurs.
  We think it's so important to support our fellow #womeninbusiness ♥️

• Make It! Show Vancouver

  Published Apr 26 2019 in Cherry Velvet, Cherry Velvet Dresses, cotton, Dresses, handmade revolution, Made In Canada, Made in Vancouver, Make It, Makies, Market, PNE Forum

  Over 200 Rock Star Makies brought their beautiful handmade goodies to the PNE Forum and we were there! It was our first time having a booth and it was so much fun!

  
  

  Thank you so much to all those that came out to see us and brought such good vibes. We LOVE the reaction of new customers when they discover our fun printed dresses with pockets for the very first time. We managed to fit a small fitting room in our booth and the patrons took full advantage! One of the best parts was having new Cherry Velvet devotees step out of the dressing room in one of our dresses and having passersby commenting on how amazing they looked. Unsolicited compliments are always welcome!

  

  Most of all we just love meeting our customers old and new. It means the world to us to be able to show you our new wonderful prints and get invaluable feedback. Our customers are the best!

  

  What a great group of people that put on the show and participated. We're grateful to be part of such a badass group of Makies who are so positive, upbeat, and FUN. This show is well organized and so well run. 

  
  There were SO many incredible Makies, who also had amazing booths! Everything from art, jewelry, food, pottery, distilleries, nature photography, chocolate, clothing and so much more. It's such a special experience to meet like-minded entrepreneurs who share our passion and enthusiasm for doing the work they love and made locally.

  
  We love being part of The Handmade Revolution and are so proud to make all our dresses right here in Vancouver as well as supporting other businesses that do the same. Hope to see you for the Christmas Market in December!
