Our Printed Denim Jackets Are Now Online!

Each one is one of a kind and comes in either a Skull print or Cat print, with hand sewn embellishments. They're a great way to layer up while it is still cold and will still look great in the Summer with a pretty dress and jelly shoes!!

#STUDENTINVASION, New Fabrics and Buzz!

New fabrics, hats and dye can only mean one thing... 

 Magical things are happening at Bowes Threads HQ!

This week is a very productive one, we had the #STUDENTINVASION at St. Stephen's last night, it looked very very busy!!

 Our 'Hull Loves' t-shirts went down a treat and we have almost sold out of our new dresses, again!! We love that you guys have been seen in our new, re-worked vintage denim jackets around town. Whoop! They're ace for this time of year; Halloween, 

Hull Fair and Bonfire Night! They look great teamed with either a hoody or cardigan, dress, tights and boots. Me and Katie are planning on studding up our jackets now!

As everything has been going so well, we've been busy working hard to get some new things in store for you! 

Katie's even been in the garden today having a party with some buckets, hats and dye, they're going to look ace! Me and Sarah have made a start on creating some new items with our lovely new fabrics. Crushed velvets, bold prints and soft embossed jerseys are in there, as well as a few contrasting elements; but I guess it wouldn't be Bowes Threads without them, right?! 

It's just who we are! Everything is going to look amazing together!

Oh, and Sarah has a new kitten! He is called Buzz Lightyear, not Buzz, Buzz Lightyear. He's the so sweet! Pics to come!

Embellished Denim, Pretty Dresses and New Tees!!

 Finally here are some photos of the new Bowes Threads A/W range for Topshop, St. Stephens, Hull!

New Bowes Threads A/W '13 Range.

We have two new dresses, Black Widow textured jersey skater dress only £30 and Midnight, textured paisley swing dress £32!

Hand Screen Printed Vintage Denim.

Hand Sewn Embellishments.

Our new Re-Worked Vintage Denim Jackets are now in store too! We have a Skull print, Cat Silhouette Moon print and plain embellished designs, all are just £45!

We have hand printed and sewn on each and every stud, star, spike, jewel you name it on there! Lots of hard work have gone into these garments and are already selling fast! I need to get my collar sorted on my over sized vintage denim jacket now! 

We also have another new t-shirt! Katie has been wearing hers around London this weekend!

Very proud of us all for getting these done and in store in the short amount of time we had! Everything is hand made and produced in Hull! Happy shopping :)

Love the Bowes Ladies!!

Printing, Studs, and Denim!!

This week has been full of printing, samples, studs, jewels, Kings Of Leon and denim!

Katie and Sarah printed a new t-shirt which will be revealed very soon! It's a local print but it applies to the surrounding areas of Hull too! We also have a special Limited Edition printed tee on the way, only 70 will be printed! So watch this space!

The new denim jackets are coming along nicely too, they are definitely an Autumn MUST HAVE! A great wardrobe staple with a Bowes twist! We think they will look great with a little skater dress and boots! So cute!

 

We have been listening to Kings Of Leon's new album too... some great songs on there! Plus they graced our screens on Jools Holland this week! Wiittt WHhhooooo!!

That's me for the night! More sewing and printing to do tomorrow!
Nighhttt!!

Freedom Festival!

So it was Freedom Festival this weekend, the sun was out, beers were flowing and it was a great success for us! It's great to see and know that people love the 'Hull Loves' tees.

It is absolutely freeezzinngg today!! Timed to perfection as everyone is knows summer is now over! Whaaa!!! :( We don't want it to end! At least the studio won't be so much like a sweat shop now! Can't handle any more pattern cutting in that heat!

Far too hot!

We have lots to get on with this week so it's back to early starts for us now, cracking on as we're up against our deadline for the new A/W collection to be done! Our 'Dotty' dress sold out so we are very excited to get the rest into store!

Late night rambles with a hint of denim!

Amy here, bit of a late night ramble so here goes!

This week we have been printing on some vintage shorts. Last time, we tried bleaching with stencils, but now we have refined our technique and method in producing these shorts. 

Photos like these make me realise how far us three girls have come in such a short amount of time. Little improvements such as our garment labels, new and more advanced dyes make all the hard work we put in, feel all the more rewarding. 

I do love working with Sarah and Katie and I can see all three of us growing in confidence. I mean, Katie is using the sewing machine like a pro ;) I'm not getting Sarah to sort out the fiddly bits I hate and Sarah has been doing more pattern cutting, still can't get her to cut out though He he! ; ) I'm not saying we've not been able to any of that before but they can do our heads in! So we've all been stepping out of our comfort zones without realising and things are starting to benefit from it! :)

Oh, and we have stopped being so indecisive! ;)

Overall, seeing the quality of our work get better and better is AMAZZZIINNG and I am SSOOOO proud of us!!

We're hopefully getting a new work space soon too! As well as our FIRST Autmun/Winter range!

We can't forget you lovelies, we love seeing our customers happy with their garment(s), that is the best thing EVER!  

Peace&Love
