Fluff is going to MAAD

Fluff will be setting up shop at the MAAD (Market of Artist & Designers) fair this weekend, Dec 1 and 2 (Saturday and Sunday). Do drop by and do your Christmas shopping early!

Place: red dot Traffic @ 28 Maxwell Road, a stone's throw away from the Tanjong Pagar MRT Station

Time: 11am to 7pm

Adding to the buzz this time around, the event is part of Creative24, an exciting, non-stop 24-hour festival that allows you to experience various projects from Singapore’s creative community - first-hand, upclose. Shuttle service is provided from the National Museum to red dot Traffic.

Fluff at Suite Stuff

A piece of long overdue news. Fluff accessories are now available at *DRUMROLL*
Suite Stuff
53a Haji Lane.
Mon-Fri 2pm-9.30pm
Sat 12nn-10pm
Sun 2pm-8pm
(Haji Lane is right next to Arab Street. Get off at Bugis MRT, walk pass Raffles Medical Hospital and Golden Landmark Hotel then cross the street in the direction of Arab Street. Haji Lane is the small street next to Arab Street that looks slightly dead at first glance because there isn't much traffic in there. But therein lies the beauty - you can walk on the tarmac! And there IS life in Haji Lane - go on, take a peek in the shops. You will be enthralled.)

Do check out the boutique in hip and happening Haji Lane where many entrepreneurial young people have set up shop, many of them selling fashion wear and accessories designed and made in Singapore by up and coming designers. You will be amazed at the treasure trove this renagade street has become. Fashion items here range from vintage and retro to avant garde, designer and edgy.

We simply love shopping in this stretch of colourful shophouses in Singapore where time seems to have stood still. It's just very quaint and Olde World. It's also refreshing that every shop has its own individual style and range of products, and isn't part of some fashion chain found everywhere else. It's great for people like us who're oh-so-bored with shopping in malls where the mix of shops is identical. I mean, what's the point of opening so many shopping centres when it's only the same big-name stores that can afford to pay those exorbitant rents..it only makes for boring shopping!

We certainly hope Haji Lane stays individual and unique for a long time to come and not get caught up in the wave of commercialism. Fingers crossed too that developers don't barge in and screw up the place with their spruce-up plans (worst still, en bloc sale of the shophouses!) that inevitably result in higher rents that up-and-coming designers can't afford.

Anyways, Saturday's a good time to visit when all the stores are definitely open and there's a nice manageable crowd that gives a buzz to this artsy-fartsy street without the place getting too maddening.

You MUST drop in at Suite Stuff (on the second floor a door or two from House of Japan on the ground floor) to chat with the owner, funky Stan, who's a musician and we hear she sings beautifully. Browse and buy her vintage dresses available in limited pieces for each design. Look, see and touch selected Fluff designs that are stocked at Suite Stuff and maybe buy a pair of earrings or two plus a dangly necklace.

Then have lychee martini or gula melaka gelato at Pluck ice cream parlour a few doors down the street. And if you're still feeling hungry, tuck into Middle-Eastern/Egyptian fare at Cafe Le Caire further down the street. The braised lamb is to-die-for. We also love the black coffee with mint. ;)

FB rocks

Oh, and another reason we've been absent here is that we have been over at Facebook. Join us there if you have an account. Look for the group fluff: handcrafted jewellery.

If you are not yet on Facebook, what are you waiting for? It's time to catch up with technology. There're no two ways about it. Jump on the bandwagon or get left behind...but be warned, Facebooking is highly addictive. Soon you will be sleeping less, going out less, staying home more, neglecting work...you get the idea.. ;)

Christmas shopping!

One more thing, do try to send in your Christmas orders early so that we can fulfill every single one of them. We would hate to disappoint you if designs ran out of stock.

A little bit of yuletide tidbit: Last year, one customer ordered 12 pieces of jewellery for her closest gal pals. That record still stands.

Born to be wild...and busy like a bee

Some long overdue updates: So sorry we've neglected updating our blog. We've been so busy with orders and customisations, especially since we were recently featured in Cleo and I-Weekly. :) What a happy problem!

But the good news is, we've finally been able to breathe a bit more easily the past few weeks and have started churning out new designs. We hope to be able to upload them soon but chances are, given what tech duds we are, and also cos our beloved Fluff photographer is getting married in November, it'll take some time.

The good news is, we'll be selling the new designs at the next bazaar we're taking part in on Dec 1 and 2. We'll update you on the details of the event but keep the date free to pop by our stall to grab the choicest designs for your gal pals' Christmas pressies!

Here's a pictorial spread of our visit to Aunty Alice K's shop at People's Park 3rd level #1012, taken quite some months back.

Return of Butterfly Kisses

Great news! The smash hit Butterfly Kisses is back in stock in a remade version that is just as pretty if not prettier than the original design. Email shop@lovefluff.com to grab a piece of this lovely necklace for yourself...or for your gal pals. Don't forget, Christmas is just around the corner. :)
