It is hard to believe that this is our last week at 555 12th Street.
We hope you will all come in for one more glass of champagne and one more chance to get lots of summer items on sale before we move across the street. To that end we are going to stay open until 7 today through Thursday night so you can stop in after work for a final goodbye to our little store. If you have items here on special order come over as you never know where things go when you move!
We are open all this week until 7 and Friday until 6:00.
We have drastically reduced everything so there are bargains to be had and you might even be able to talk me into lowering them more faced with the prospect of having to move it all!! Then we are going to close Friday at 6:00 and transfer everything so we can open at 11:00 on Monday, August 1st. We WILL be closed this Saturday.
We cannot WAIT for you to see the new store. It is sophisticated with clean simple lines like we have come to appreciate so our interesting clothing, accessories and jewelry look their best.
Our new address is 1299 Pennsylvania Avenue but we are at the 12th and E Street corner entrance. If you see the Au Bon Pain on the corner, go into the door to the left of it and there we will be right in the center of the lobby on the left. You won’t be able to miss us.
Don’t forget that Wednesday the 3rd and Thursday the 4th of Augustis the Planet Trunk show. Leslie is coming and it will be our first show in our new space. It is a great line this season and we have already sold out of some pieces so we re ordered. If you like the ruched matte jersey leggings you will LOVE the faux leather ones. They are so cool and only $210. They REALLY look real. This is one of the items we have sold out of twice already!! There are lots of cool jackets that also go with them in both faux leather and the terry cloth.
There are two jackets that are honeycomb faux leather that are great with jeans:
And here are the leggings with a sweater
How great are these leggings?
Ivan Grundahl has started their deliveries and the line IS going to continue with Ivan’s sister and son who were part of his team. The last collection he did with them was done at the time of his untimely death so I will see the spring collection in September at market. Sad. But now if you get a piece you have a collector’s item! We got in some of his jersey dresses and a few sweaters. There are no pictures yet but they are quite nice.
Our Ace and Jig is selling very well so we are so excited about that!
These pieces look so good on and their fabrics are all year round as well as handmade. One of Katy’s new lines.
Some of our Anarkh has arrived: beautiful and interesting. 
Wonderful Anarkh dress
This Anarkh vest is made in a great all year fabric and the culotte is long so it looks like a skirt. We also have this fabric in a jacket.
Oh, I forgot to tell you. There is a sweater line that I am DYING for you to see and the designer is coming to the store in early September. I will let you know the exact date as soon as I know. I am so excited because she is a doll and her sweaters are amazing and she is so passionate about her work that it makes you feel good to help promote her. Women helping women. Here is one of the New Form Perspective pieces. They are all convertible and come with a video!
This is the same sweater and there is a third way to do it but I can’t get the picture on here. You know I am so challenged at this! They come in beautiful colors too. Another line Katy found and they are terrific.
Ray Harris is coming on September 22-24th so mark that down. We are working on our other shows to get the dates so stay tuned!
Enjoy the convention, week two of politics, controversy, and mud slinging! What a country!
Ok, this is our last email from 555. Come in and say goodbye with some champagne and we will see you next week in our new, beautiful space. No more walking in-between stores!!
Ricki and Katy
