MORE SPINNING

One holiday down, one to go, so we are taking advantage of a brief lull in the madness to update our blog. Since this is a work-in-progress please be patient, as the wheels of commerce move rather slowly.

What with recycling being all the rage and many of us doing our part to "Save the Planet", it just made sense to create wearable art from whatever was to hand. The folks at Weezie and Rumble are an artistic bunch and decided to use "gently worn" jeans rather than add to the already-plentiful supply. We added hand stenciling and fabric to them to produce something that's not only fun to wear but also guilt-free. Maybe we should have called them "Guilt-Free Jeans" come to think of it.

Thanks for visiting our site and please let us know what you think of our concept. We welcome your ideas and will give you a big Shout Out when we land our first cover on "W". Hopefully this will lead to a Cult Following and will do for us what "Rocky Horror Picture Show" did for rice, hotdogs and prunes.

SPIN CYCLE

Welcome to our new blog, "WEEZIE & RUMBLE", where we showcase all of our fab used  recycled, embellished jeans, cry ask for help suggestions and discuss the latest fashion trends, of which I am virtually ignorant follow religiously. Having been in graphic design, advertising and marketing my entire career this is a departure for me but is full of possibilities and because I got tired of working for a lunatic.
In a nutshell, we recycle gently worn blue jeans and turn them into wearable art. After adding various cloth embellishments (also recycled) and doing a bit of stenciling, we relaunch them into Fashionspace, hoping they end up being worn by hip Fashionauts. Because we find our recycled jeans in all sorts of interesting places (such as thrift and charity stores, as well as pairs that have been donated by people who feel sorry for us kind-hearted friends) they come in all sizes and styles. Regular or skinny leg, bell bottoms, boot cut, size 2 to size 14...anything that catches our eye on our exotic buying trips to Salvation Army, Goodwill, or Burt's Thrifty Nickel. Similarly, no two designs will ever be exactly alike, because we either ran out of the groovy fabric we found in someone's attic, or we just got tired of looking at the same thing and wanted to try something new. So when WEEZIE & RUMBLE hits the big time and you see someone wearing a pair, please don't expect to find that pair again somewhere. We have plans, as it happens, to eventually offer a custom-embellishing service to customers who send us their own jeans, and if you think this is a good idea, please let us know in the comment section. Right now, though, we are feverishly working to fulfill our very first order and all of our resources are tied up right now because there are only two of us.
Please continue to check back with us and feel free to offer your suggestions, advice, opinions, fashion tips, recipes or anything else that you think might be of interest; all encouragment is greatly appreciated.

Fashionably yours,
Weezie & Rumble
