O L D & N E W .


How adorable are these button bobby pins and hair elastics? They're new but at the same time old, as each one has been handmade from different vintage fabrics lying around my office. I never like to waste anything around here so I have about 40kg of excess vintage fabric which are cut offs from all of the dresses and skirts we hem shorter. I have so many ideas of what I would like to do with the fabric but there is never enough hours in the day. Recently I've been inspired to get these ideas into motion and luckily enough I found a little old lady who has the time to help me. Can't wait to show you the other items I have coming for the store but for now please enjoy a sneak peek of my new hair accessories, which will be landing in store early next week and constantly changing in vintage prints and colours. Bobby pins are $10 a set and hair elastics are $12 a set so be sure to add a few to your order before you checkout! I promise you'll look "cute as a button" in them :)

    Awesome idea! I do the same, keep all the cut off hems but never get around to using them. Or I have an idea for one particular print only to find there's not enough, or something equally as disappointing! *lol
