Lollibop was fab, in all ways. It was the first time we had all the babyblack and SUPERNATURAL kids clothing stock to present to the world – and we were thrilled (and not just a little relieved) by the reaction of the parents and children of Stoke Newington who were generous customers both with their kind comments and enthusiastic purchasing.
The sun shone brightly and everyone was in the mood for having a great time. There were touches of Glastonbury there in the attention to detail of content and presentation. Wonderful visions would drift by our stall in the form of one-off art-forms, costumes, characters (human and otherwise), and there was some fantastic music and performances coming from a lovely retro ice cream van just opposite us – whatever your age, there was something there to float your boat. Jarvis Cocker didn’t show up (I don’t think) , but there were some lovely tributes to his music which I tuned into from time to time. Lots of people came to our stall and had a bounce on the Hoppers (that is – space hoppers for little ones, ready for dispatch at the beginning of Sept – contact us if you want to know more;). My whole family, and some gorgeous friends came to lend a hand, so all in all it was a really enjoyable weekend.
Since then we’ve been getting ready to launch the Supernatural kids clothing website which will be up and running by the beginning of September. Also, a groovy fair trade shop in Brighton called … FAIR … are going to be our first retail outlet. FAIR is on Queens Road, the road you walk down as you head for the beach from Brighton station – its cool, stylish and fair trade, so definitely worth a visit.
