August 2008

Well it's been a while since we updated you with Ruck Rover news. We've been hard at work finding new and interesting labels for you from all over the world and rearranging the store to fit the new things in!

First of all...

SALE!!!! We have decided to mark down a heap of items. A host of women's tees have been marked down to $30 each or 2 for $40. We have also been really ruthless with a heap of boys' shirts, hoodies and tees. Most sale items are between $20 and $40 so come down and grab a bargain while you can! To top it off we have a $10 bowl full of fun
bits and pieces. Yowza!

We just had a new delivery of Heavy Rotation men's and women's tees arrive just this morning. We know how popular these tees are with so many of our customers for their great fit and comfy feel. The new prints are great and won't hang around long!

We're super pleased to be able to stock jewellery from Kim Williamson of Dotty Speck in Seattle. We have a selection of her handmade silver necklaces. They're beautiful pieces and include rain cloud, wishbone, bird and leaf motifs.

Also freshly stocked are men's tee shirts from Isotope. To quote from their bio,
"Isotope is a quirky and creative t shirt collective that designs and prints garments in a renovated 1920s Bank building in North Central Illinois. We're drawn to many aesthetics, but have been on a 20th Century science kick as of late. Anything transit related we find beautiful - especially maps. We've been screen printing for years and enjoy coming up with esoteric shirts that are visually interesting." They've received a great response so far!

We have also had a fresh delivery from Queen Bee and are stocked up on the 7" record bags in various colours, as well as the ever popular wonder wallets. We have also found out that this style of wallet is discontinued! So if you are a fan looking for a new image, or if you have been thinking about getting one, this is the time for you to come
and pick one up.

The latest addition to the Ruck Rover family is US label Pinecone & Chickadee. Their tees, baby clothes and stationery fit into the shop so perfectly!

Emma at Moe Moe has come up with a brand new range of necklaces and earrings. There is one with a paper plane, another with a stag, a cute birdhouse and bird features on another, and heaps more.

Something super exciting is the addition of Lazy Oaf to the store. This label comes from their shop of the same name in Kingly Court, Carnaby Street, which we think is definitely the coolest store in London. Men's tees feature hot dogs, monsters and multilingual greetings and the girls' prints are of doughnuts, boom boxes, Parisian and sailor themes and swallows. They also do an awesome enamel camera necklace, monster brooch and badge sets. Oh my goodness, so fun!!!

Another favourite thing of ours is a series of fabric bags from Peace & Quiet printed with a woodgrain print! They come in two colours - pine and teak (cute!) - and various sizes. They also do woodgrain tees for both men and women.



Time for us to go and finish tagging the sale items. We hope to see you soon! xx
