I found this great blog, Urban Weeds:Street Style From Portland. I love the photography and the style of each person featured. Many of the featured people are designers that have really interesting ideas. One example is Sarai, Owner of Colette Patterns.
“These patterns are designed to be made into clothes that you will love forever. They are timeless, beautiful designs that can be made in a variety of fabrics to suit the season. They are wearable, practical, and pretty.”
20% off RADCOW leather items this weekend!
Come on in and get a cool leather belt or cool cuff. Great for gifts or treats for a friend or yourself. I have two belts that I don’t know how I ever lived without them.
I heart this dress so much! From the color to the sweet lace accents, it just makes me want to melt. I love the neckline and the side cut outs are just perfect. It even has a matching jacket. The fabric is lightweight cotton blend perfect for summer days. All you need is a field of daisies, a soft red blanket, and a case of IPA and you are set.
Jett’s having fun with hair pins from Jeneanxo. They are great to wear or give as a gift. He loves to model the fun accessories.
This is the perfect time of year for a great scarf. You can tie on in your hair, to keep the wind off as you travel around town, you can add one around your waist to give that summer dress added color, you can drape it over your lamp in the evening for ambiance, and you can use it to wrap up a special gift.
Come in and check out our scarves. Mention this post and get 20% off any scarf!
Wondering what to get your loved ones for the holidays? Or yourself, because lets face it, we all need a little something this time of year.
Well, we’ve got lots of the truly beautiful items in the store right now. Both vintage and handmade. Perhaps that perfect gift is waiting for you at Roulette.
So many of our local artists have brought in new items for the holidays. We’ve got lovely jewelry by Anna Young and Ai-ling Chang. Plus screen printed tees and handbags by Yuli Ink. We’ve also got awesome Carrboro tees and other prints by Flytrap. Monster tees by Matt Hart. Great hairpins and earrings by JeneanXO. Headbands and shopping bags by Robin and Tarish. Scarves by B-knits and Brilliant. Hot holiday dresses by RiverTC, Exile and Revamp. And so much more!
I wish I had time to be more eloquent about each of these amazing artists, because they are amazing. But the holiday season is in full swing, so instead, I’ve posted lots of pictures, so check out our Flickr site! And here’s a teaser:
Happy Holidays and lots of love,
Kara and Rebecca
Yuli Ink (pronounced as Juli) is the amazing work of artist and screenprinter, Yulianna Apzuicio. We adore her series of animal sketches on tees. They would make a wonderful gift for the subtly romantic valentine.
Julianna prints on women’s, men’s and baby tees. She also prints these great shopping and messenger bags. There’s something for everyone!
Yes, we admit it. Rebecca and I really love Valentines day! There just can’t be anything wrong with a holiday devoted to love. I know that the commercialized view is focusing on couples…but we like to think back to the days when we made Valentine mailboxes out of paper lunch sacks for school. And our friends dropped little valentines into each one.
Celebrate your really sweet friends and your sweetheart! We’ve got a great collection of vintage valentines just waiting for you.
Original, funny, sweet, romantic, or even a bit odd… this Valentines day, give Vintage.
Gift #12
T-shirt by Matt hart
$22-$30
We have endlessly felt so lucky to have Matt Hart, and his wife Jenean (of jeneanxo) as local designers here. Matt has a fun take on monsters and skulls, plus so many other great prints. If you already own a Matt Hart design, luck you! If you don’t, you should, because his tees are truly great art. You should keep your eye eye out for his band posters around town too!
Matt does a variety of prints on mens, womens & kids tees, plus baby onesies.
Something for everyone!
gift #11
mi scusi hand made
scarves, hats and clothing
Avg price $28-$50
mi scusi hand made is the craftwork of Andrea Iacobucci. She has an amazing sense of style and color. Her knits are delicate yet wearable. She often uses yarn that she has unraveled from vintage knit items that are no longer wearable. One of her scarves was formally a baby blanket, and its so soft!! We love Andrea’s handmade and remade clothes too!
