A lil help & young love

crywolf — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 18:51:51 +0000

Hey peeps! A couple updates…

First things first! As we are all aware, much help is needed in Haiti following the devastating earthquake that has caused devastating destruction. We wanted to contribute in some way to the relief efforts put forth by the Red Cross to supply emergency aid to Haiti. Right now 10% of all sales made on our site will be donated to The Red Cross in support of their humanitarian, recovery and reconstruction efforts (with all donations being matched by the Canadian gov’t).

We made our first donation on the weekend and want to thank all of you for your orders and for your support! We’re no John Travoltas who are able to fly our own commercial plane stuffed with supplies (and scientology ministers?!?!) straight to Haiti, but we will do what we can with what we’ve got.

Secondly, today we released our first design of 2010, a Limited Edition Valentine’s day tee! It features some brand new characters; Chloe and Wolfe, young and in lurrrrve:

Cute, right? This shirt will be available until Feb 14th so grab it while you can!

CLICK to see/buy!

With love,

Happy 2010! Year of the Wolf!

We just wanted to take a minute to thank you, our dear fans, for another amazing year. Our best yet! We had the pleasure of meeting and making a lot of new customers/friends/fans and are so grateful for your support because, well, not to sound all cliche and everything BUT you are what make Crywolf possible! For real.

The holidays are over but instead of being down about it, we’re excited for the new year and busy conjuring up some new 2010 designs which will be released sometime in February. At that point most of the 2009 designs will be discontinued, so you might want to grab some designs that you’ve been coveting before the last printings get sold off!

We have some exciting plans for new 2010 products that you probably won’t be able to live without… but you’ll just have to wait and see what they are!

It’s cold out there, so stay warm. It’s going to be a good year.

BUTTONMANIA opening

crywolf — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 03:47:37 +0000

I went to check out BUTTONMANIA at G+ Gallery this afternoon where we had some 1″ collaged buttons on display.

The wall of many butts.

It was pretty cool to see what other artists had done. Buttons have become such a commonplace fashion accessory and we make and see so many of our own every day, so it was interesting to see buttons used by artists as a medium and to be able to just step back for a second and appreciate them as individual pieces. My favorites were the one-of-a-kind buttons that were either hand drawn/painted or were made from an original piece of art.

Our collaged buttons!

Couldn’t leave empty handed…

Our purchses: birdies by Iris Lee
creepy/manga/monster buttons by Howie Tsui
chinese opera face by Xu Han

BUTTONMANIA will continue to run until December 27th. If you want to check it out it’s at G+ Gallery (50 Gladstone Ave, Toronto) and the gallery is open Wed-Sun (1-6pm).

BUTTONMANIA!

ATTN: button lovers

What’s more awesome than an artist’s button show? Not much. We will be having some LTD edition collaged 1″ buttons in the show, you should check it out if you’re in/around Toronto. G+ is across the street from The Gladstone Hotel on the West side of Gladstone Ave.

That’s a preview of the collaged buttons that we will have in the show. Each one is different! Collect the whole C R Y W O L F set or you can just get your favorite button of the bunch. There will be about 50 for sale at the show @ $2 each.

Frugal Fashion Week

crywolf — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 17:25:20 +0000

This past week was the first ever Frugal Fashion Week in Toronto and on Saturday we set up shop at the Drake where they had a shop/brunch/fashion show happening. I can’t seem to get the word Frugalista out of my head now which isn’t good because I think it’s a terrible terrible word. Same goes for the word fashionista which conjures up strong feelings of vile disgust in both of us, mostly because of this song which we heard every day at the CNE last year. Enjoy:

Anyhoos, this was our setup:

Space was tight but we managed to make enough room. We had a few samples of BRAND NEW DESIGNS which were a hit and will be up on the site soon! VERY exciting!

All in all, a good day. It was my birthday wknd and I got to spend it with my closest pals which is all I really wanted! Love you all. Is it seriously almost August? Time is flying. WHAT HAPPENED TO SUMMER? Our next event is the CNE which starts August 21st. We’ll keep you posted on that.

xo!
