InStore: Keep that consignment coming!

Lovely labels non-stop, we adore all of the wonderful vintage items that enter our stores through consignment of our valued customers. And we are ready for more! As you probably already know, we offer to sell your special items under consignment. The temperatures are getting lower so please go through your winter wardrobe to check for beautiful items from the seventies or the eighties, or pieces from high-end labels? Still in good condition and clean? And are you ready to part with them? Feel free to visit a JUTKA & RISKA store near you, or contact us to get more information on the terms and conditions for selling your stuff in one of our stores. Positive side effect: The new space in your wardrobe and the revenue from selling will allow you to stock up on great new warm winter items!

OnLine: Brenda from givelivelovelife at Magna Plaza

At our opening afternoon last Saturday we ran into Brenda, blogger from givelivelovelife who was eager to check out our new store. She wrote a super nice post about her JUTKA & RISKA @ Magna Plaza experience plus she bought a really cool vest (which is available in various colors at all our stores and costs €25,- (!)). Thanks Brenda for stopping by and keeping up your great blog. If you are interested to read for yourself (or see more pictures!), please go to her blog and scroll down to her post of Monday October 17th called Mixing Prints. Our apologies, but somehow it appears impossible to create a direct link to the post...

OnStreet: Eva & John

Spotted in our Antwerp store: Eva and John. Talking about an international get-together: Eva is a fashion buyer (dream job!) from China, she works for a multi brand store in Hong Kong and currently lives in Milan. After traveling by all fashionweeks one after the other, with the grand finale in Paris, she decided to pay Antwerp a little visit. Eva told us she has a blog herself, our dear Ans even posed for a picture, but we have no idea what the URL is.... So Eva (or John) if you are reading this: please post your URL as a comment to this post, we are curious!
PS. We love your style.

OnTrend: "Dip and dye honey pie"

This seems to pop up everywhere, so I guess we can speak of a dip-n-dye trend? It sure gives your natural cute appearance a colorful well-deserved punky edge to it. We love the combination with super feminine lace, powdery dresses, although it also works well with your tomboy outfit or strong and sexy look. The dip-n-dye is perfectly suitable for a DIY approach. So if you feel your fingers itching to add some color to your lifeless ends, please check out Styling Dutchman's DIY tutorial.
And if you cannot choose what color to dip into, you can always opt for a hairy bag instead.

InTown: Jutka & Riska @ ArtVintageMARKET Rotterdam

Neat vintage clothing, inspiring interiors, modern arts, trendy people and a lot more. That was jam-packed together in the MINI MALL at the ArtVintageMARKET in Rotterdam. We were ever so pleased to welcome loads of visitors into our temporary store. Here are some pics of our little instant store. The light was not forgiving, so apologies for some of the pics. As you can see, even our super loyal canine companion joined us, guarding the store, wearing a very distinct hat for the occasion.

Here some pics of the other miniatures stores at the ArtVintageMARKET. So much design furniture that was just to die for, we are lucky to still be alive ;-).

In the MINI MALL we ran into some young designers. First is Hanneke van Leeuwen,. a.k.a. Dearhunter. She is a Rotterdam based designer of jewelry and bags. Finding her real love in fashion she recently developed her own accessory-line. We can't help but feel true love for Dearhunter Accessories! Isn't her stuff amazing and whimsical? For more information, please visit http://www.dearhunter.nl/

Then we met Mariska Mell (work below). Mariska is an Amsterdam based interior designer. She likes to combine applied design with autonomous art. All her creations are developed through a process of researching, experimenting, trial… If you wanna see more of Mariska’s work, please visit http://www.mariskamell.nl/
