Blood Moon

by Celine Semaan Vernon

I woke up today expecting that my stress might have vanished, as I have read that the Lunar Eclipse will be bringing us a lot of change. 

The Universe sent me this note today:


When fear speaks, celine, it's always wrong.

Game on,
The Universe

 

We are very excited to announce that we have refilled our stock for your favorite prints! Hurry before we run out again! It takes a lot of time to make them. Maybe that is why we are called Slow Factory, as we are slowly orbiting around the Earth, we also support the slow fashion movement, the slow everything movement as a matter of fact, and we are working towards a sustainable, environmentally friendly process that will allow us to grow very very slowly.

Back in stock!

This is a sneak peek, the dress is still in production. In the photo is Valérie Dumaine herself taking a selfie to send me by email. This dress will be sold as early as January 2013, its a co-creation with brilliant Montreal based designer Valérie Dumaine.
A friendship turned into a fun collaboration making this wonderful silk dress hand made in Montreal, designed to raise awareness on the planet we live in. The image is under Creative Commons and comes from of course, my main inspiration lately, NASA Goddard's flickr account.

Series of Oneness

by Celine Semaan Vernon

 We have ONE available left in each of these prints. Time to break the piggy bank and get some of these unique beauties for your love ones!! First come first serve. We have been selling out quicker than we thought. As Tina Roth puts it in her Tattly blog post Things I have learned so far:

5. Prepare for success
I admit, I wasn’t prepared for the success. Luckily I was able to scale up very quickly and keep up with demand, which probably comes with the nature of the temporary tattoo business. This might not have been possible if I sold something with a much longer product cycle.
So, ask yourself, what if I get a ton of orders within the first few weeks? Can my business scale? Do I have a plan on how I will do that? Am I building my business on a system that will allow me to grow?
So here we go! Enjoy!
