Ever heard the old saying that "patience is a virtue"? Well, it certainly has a time and a place but there's no need for hanging around with our permanent new lasercutter at our
Covent Garden store. You can now design your bespoke
Name Necklace and have it made in-store right in front of you by our team. To celebrate our new service, we threw a launch party to reveal our brand new perspex colour and premiere our new
fashion film made by
The Lovestreet for Tatty Devine.
There was hot competition between party guests as the first twenty to arrive received an amazing colour-themed goody bag. Each bag contained
Essie Lilacism nail varnish, a
Penhaligon's Lavendula Candle,
Swizzels Matlow Giant Parma Violets and
Dylon French Lavender Fabric Dye. As if that wasn't exciting enough, our lucky winners also received
teapigs Jasmine Pearls Tea,
House of Holland for Pretty Polly Sweet Lavender Fishnet Anklets and the Summer issue of
Betty Magazine. We even hid a limited number of
Inika lilac eyeshadow and eyeliner in randomly selected bags as a special surprise!
The store was heady with the scent of lavender, courtesy of
Penhaligon's Lavandula candles.
Surprise! Our new perspex shade was revealed to be a perfectly pastel Lilac.
We kicked off the launch day with a sneak preview breakfast for bloggers and members of the fashion press. Our Press Manager Amy and fashion blogger Amy of
Wolf Whistle are Lilac Name Necklace twins!
Let the laser cutting begin! Our eager guests couldn't wait to order their
Name Necklaces on-the-spot.
It was all hands on deck to design, cut and create your bespoke necklaces.
Vintage earrings and a bright red Name Necklace were the order of the day for Alexa!
Betty Magazine editor Charlotte couldn't resist our new Lilac perspex - it perfectly matches her floral dress.
Blogger Lauren of

We love the idea of having the name of your blog made into a name necklace!
Parma Violet, anyone? Thanks to
Swizzels Matlow, our evening party guests were fueled by delicious lilac hued sweets.
As name necklace orders came flooding in, everybody sipped on Briska cider and enjoyed the premiere of our new
fashion film by
The Lovestreet.
Saskia, creator of
The Lovestreet, debuted her bespoke name necklace for the first screening of her film.
The queue for Name Necklaces stretched round the store and out into Monmouth Street outside!

Queen of fashion blogging
llymrs (aka Lily Melrose) popped by to sneak a peek at our new laser cutter in action...
