Weezi in the Gazette
Hiddy Ho Pussycats!
Jennifer Urbanski wrote a great article for the Gazette last
Friday about shopping downtown.
She was kind enough to include Weezi.
Here is the Weezi part of the article...

Low costs, high fashion at downtown boutiques MiCloset, Mesh Boutique, Weezi:

Local shops worth checking out
by: Jennifer Urbanski

.....

Weezi is a one of a kind shop that recognizes its unique spot in
the London fashion scene.
While some people might find comfort in conformity,
that is one thing you won’t find here.

“Anything that has a ‘Weezi’ tag is made from scratch,” storeowner Lisa Gaverluk says.
Whether she reuses ‘previously enjoyed’ pieces and adds her
own flare or creates the entire garment with purchased fabric,
you are guaranteed an original.

“As a general rule I only buy enough fabric to make four to five pieces,” Gaverluk says.

She offers each style in sizes small to large and everything is done in
limited runs. Weezi price tags display how many pieces
were made to assure that you would
be the only one wearing your purchase around campus.

The clothes are offered in a variety of fabrics, prints and styles so there is something for everyone.
The most popular items are the distinct purses displayed on a floor-to-ceiling wall unit.
These pieces are even more exclusive as Gaverluk
only buys enough fabric to make just one.

“The purses are the most fun thing for me to do,” she says. “There are always new bags.”

At Weezi, the concept of an environmentally friendly store
is more than just a marketing strategy.
Everything in the store is crafted by hand and even your purchases are carried
out in recycled newspaper bags made at the store.

Happy Halloween & Weezi is in
LOU LOU Magazine!!!!!

Hiddy Ho Pussycats!!!!
Happy Boo-Day!!!
I am sure many of you are giddy with anticipation of wearing your costume
tonight and doing the Monster Mash :)
Ah, the memories of Halloweens past....

Here I am at age 7 ...that year I went out as a gypsy.
I don't know where I came up w these ideas.

I was never a witch, a ghost or anything dead. And never a "thing".
Always a person.
At any rate, I remember liking this costume a lot but I have to
admit my make up skills aren't much better now then that day.

This year I was Charlie Chaplin.


Here I am w my brother. I was 9 and Adam is 2.
I am not sure why a 9 year girl wanted to be Charlie Chaplin..but there you have it.
******

  Weezi

  Tucked into a corner loft above Prince Albert’s Diner, this girly boutique with hot-pink walls is devoted to recycled fashions. Weezi, the house line from owner Lisa Gaverluck, features shoulder bags made from repurposed sweaters, blankets and karate belts. (Some of the bags have pretty felt-flower appliqués.) Lisa also recycles T-shirts, makes rings from reclaimed earrings, creates journals from old record-album covers and reworks vintage Butterick and Simplicity patterns for unique fashion creations. So slip into the boudoir-style fitting room to try on a Weezi denim or corduroy skirt, made from new fabric, or the stretch-twill Black Betty dress, named after the edgy 1950s pin-up model Bettie Page.

  204 Albert St.
  519-642-2651 • www.weezi.com
  Prices: $2–$120

So yeh! How great is it that they came to London?!
The new Weezi web page will be up tonight.
If you go now it is still the old one.
Adam and I will be uploading the new site tonight.

So, tell all your friends that London is in LOU LOU magazine.
Pop by the studio Pussycats, I will be here all weekend.

Have a GREAT Halloween!
Be in touch.


Luv Weezi xoxooxox
