Humber Street Market

Hello

We will be back at Humber Street Market this Sunday, 15th Feb.

Looking forward to getting back into doing the markets around Hull after our Christmas break and January hibernation.

It's lovely to meet new and old customers and to hear your feedback to our products is great for us.

Hopefully the sun will be shining.

See you all there :)

It's Been A Long Time...

HELLO!!!

We do apologise for the lack of posts for soooooooooo long!

Us girls have been very busy in our personal lives. Sarah had a beautiful baby boy, Samuel.
Amy had a gorgeous baby girl, Annabelle. Then I (Katie) got married!!
So lots going on but now its back to business!
Well for me anyway ha, the girls are still on maternity leave. BUT still very much involved in what we're planning for the future.

We've got heaps of ideas for new designs, including more to add to our Hull Loves Collection, clothing ideas for the handmade collection and even a new range for the little ones.

We'll keep you posted along the way.

Oh, we now have a mailing list which you can subscribe to at www.BowesThreads.com. 
Sign up and we shall keep you informed on what's new, deals and offers.

Once January is out the way, we'll be back doing the local markets, such as Humber Street Market and Trinity Square Market.
We thought February would be a better time for shopping coz we all know this month is about hiding inside from the very chilly British weather.
Urghhh! Who else is counting down the days to summer?!? I know I am!

Anyway to give you all something to smile about, watch this! Obvs Gosling being a total babe!

Much Love
Katie

Painting & Crap Pop!

Just a quick post!

Yesterday was fun! We had a crappy pop playlist full of Five, Boyzone, Backstreet Boys, Spice Girls and a few other cheesy tracks! There were some beautiful notes held between the three of us! We got on really well with the painting and I started painting our Black Board wall. Whoopp! Sarah got a bit eager and painted a bit of the window though! ;) We can't wait to have the floor in and the sink fitted so we can get moved in! Plus we get to paint our cupboard doors soon we've decided on a really nice light green!

Big things to come for 2014!

Paint!

The new studio is coming along rather nicely and when Bowes Threads say handmade we mean it!

Everything we have done to our new space has been done by ourselves, friends and family. This week we have spent our time painting it in time for our new flooring off Sarah and Katie's Dad!

We can't wait to be in the new studio, all bright and spacious, plus new photos of our babes!

First things first eh... ; )

READ ALL ABOUT IT!!

Hello! We have news!

Our brand Bowes Threads will no longer be 

sold at Topshop In St Stephens Hull due to a million different 

reasons which we wont bore you with now but no need to worry as

 we are currently in talks with some of the best Hull grown 

independent retailers in the city. We're very excited about the 

future of Bowes Threads and reckon this year will be bigger and

 better than the last. All will be revealed soon enough. Thank you to everyone for your love and support in 2013! You're all ace! 

Peace and Love. Katie, Sarah and Amy. Bowes Threads xxxx 

P.S.

You can still buy from our website www.bowesthreads.com and Poorboy Boutique in Princes Quay!

Nostalgia.

If you're from Hull, you'll remember being asked, "You wanna lark out?" or "Are you larkin out after school?" when you were a child. These phrases simply mean are you coming out to play. You'll also remember the calls of 'Ally Ally In!' when playing a game down the tenfoot! The game was Block, also a school ground favourite with Riallio, Tig, Bulldog and Kiss Cat! You'd play it again and again after school with your mates, down your adjoining Tenfoots!

If you know what I'm talking about when reading this, you'll know what I mean when I say "Give us a Croggy!". The amount of times the friend who'd left their bike would ask this(we all had one!) and you'd let them sit on your seat whilst you peddled as fast as you could!

SO! To celebrate those warm feelings you have in your belly as you read this, we have created these...

CROGGY Sweatshirt £30

LARK Baseball Top - £20

BLOCK Baseball Top - £20

 Available at
WWW.BOWESTHREADS.COM

The Midnight Dress!

 We all love it. So we're all looking for new fabrics to recreate it in little variations for ourselves and for you lovely customers!

Plus it keeps selling out!

New Threads Autumn/Winter 2013!

Monday turned out quite well for us in the end! Lots of planning has been done, deadlines set and designs finalised! I had a good move around with the stock at Topshop! It looks ACE!

We have introduced some of the NEW Bowes Threads AW range! There are more pieces to add, but you can see the new Levi's Jeans, Pinafore Dresses and Dotty Jersey Dresses!

Today I will be pattern cutting for the new range and Katie and Sarah are printing some of the baby grows and children's t-shirts ready for Freedom Festival!

So glad I don't have to do any sleeve blocks for a while now! They hurt my head! I love working on patterns but they do drain me! Lots of tea and biscuits will be needed!

Looking forward to the next few weeks! Lots of hard work to be done!

Just a Quickie!

To say we only started up together in January and have come as far as we have, it's surreal! Holding a concession in a major high street store and having a constantly growing following is a dream come true. Many companies take years to get to the position we are in.

We are not only a t-shirt printing company, we are three very hard working ladies from Hull, trying to make a business work when most are failing. We create a handmade, one of a kind clothing range that we put everything into, making sure it is of the best quality! Our skills and aims with the business are ever evolving with time and with the fast pace of the fashion industry. We're proud to say we have taken the risk and jumped in with both feet to make Bowes Threads what it is.

We still have a long way to go but there is nothing stopping us doing what we want and aiming higher! If you don't love what you do, then what's the point!

We are very lucky to get here in such a short space of time and would like to say a big thank you to all of our customers and to those that have supported us. We look to the future with bigger and better dreams.

Onwards and Upwards.

Amy, Sarah and Katie.

Humber Street Success!!

This weekend was Ace!! 

We had a mad rush on Friday to get everything ready, us Bowes girls do like to leave things to the very last minute!

We were there bright and early Saturday morning, all set up for the day ahead which proved to be ridiculously busy! Me and Katie loved talking to customers, finding out that some of our t-shirts & baby grows were being sent to places around the world, such as Hong Kong and New Zealand, was amazing.

The set up was brilliant and we are proud to have been part of something that is so great for the city! The atmosphere was brilliant, everyone was chilled out, fruity and loving the sun and music! It was great to see everyone come together.

It was by the people, for the people!

We give a massive thanks to the customers that bought something from us! It's great to see the smiles on peoples faces!
