Back in the Saddle Again...

Since we closed the Collective back in August, I've been lucky to hear from so many of our lovely customers who miss us. First of all, thank you for taking the time to reach out via email, Twitter and Facebook. You have no idea how great it feels to hear your kind words!

So what's been going on since we closed?

Many of the designers that we featured at SPUN Sustainable Collective are doing great things and moving along on their own fashion path. Here's what a few of our favorite designers are up to:

* Cameron Levin  is the super talented designer who joined the Collective the minute we launched. Cameron was also there to man the register when I needed an extra set of hands. We're so excited to watch her grow as a designer and we're so proud to announce that she just released her much anticipated Ruby collection! Inspired by the art of flamenco dance, the rich red color palette is perfect for all the Holiday parties you have planned this Winter.

 * Bri Seeley has been busy too! A woman with a fashion dream and surrounded by love and support of her family, friends and fans, she is definitely going places! Fresh off the runways of Phoenix and LA Style Fashion Weeks, Bri was approached by Zappos who will be carrying her line next Spring! Way to go Bri!!!

* Marian Built is the talented line of lighting and furniture that designed the Collective. They recently re-launched their furniture line with a brand new website and online store! MB fans can now find their popular mason jar lights as well as lots of reclaimed and vintage MB pieces online. As an added bonus, if you use the code "SPUN" you save 20% off your order of $75 or more!

* OHA Skincare is my skin's saving grace all year and especially now that it's getting colder. I use OHA moisturizers and can't live without their Cleansing Milk. The OHA team is working away on a new website so stay tuned on that launch very soon. Rumor has it that they are releasing a new Perfume this Winter too! It's no surprise as I know first hand how truly amazing their products smell. Even better is that they are Organic and BioActive, meaning that they don't offer a million products for different skin types. Just use one product and know that the ingredients are working away on your skin, making it healthy and balanced. Way to go OHA!

Oh and I've been busy designing a new collection and am re-designing the SPUN website as well. It's due for a face lift! I hope to release an all new SPUN Organic Spring/Summer 2013 collection very soon! So be sure to follow SPUN on Facebook and stay in the loop!

Thanks for the memories....

Dear Friends and Customers,

Well, you may have already heard but the lovely site of the collective is going to be re-developed later this year. So we have accepted the upcoming change and are packing it up! But not before one last goodbye and an exciting sale which will help us personally say thanks to all of you. Don't worry, SPUN will still be available online as well as select retailers. All of the other artists and designers that have been featured here at the collective are also still doing what they do....it's just the store that is closing up.

Please join us for the SPUN Sample Sale on August 11th. This is also our last day open so we're just going to call it a Closing/Sample Sale! Doors will open at 11am and we'll be here until 7pm. Please come by and see us and more importantly, save up to 90% off on old stock, one-offs, samples and a bunch of other goodies in the store. 

Thank you again for your love and support of all of us here at SPUN Sustainable Collective. The experience has been truly invaluable and we appreciate every single one of you. Please continue to support SPUN and other independent designers because without you, we can't continue. Here's to the next chapter! xo, Sara

Save the Date!

Mark your calendars for Our Annual Sample Sale Event, Saturday August 11th! More details including all the designers and products being offered will be announced soon, so stay tuned!
