Tomorrow is Valentines Day! For those of you who have been keeping up with our blog this month, you know that we have been using the holiday as a reason to "Share the Love" with some of our favorite retailers of Avindy jewelry by featuring them on our blog. As we have mentioned, we decided to do this because without these shops and boutiques there is no way we could have been so sucessful in the past 10 years. Thanks to the vendors that carry our jewelry, people who have read about our pieces in magazines or online have a place where they can see and touch (and, of course, buy) our delicate handmade jewelry in person. The stores we have featured not only sell Avindy, but love it and wear it—and for that we feel so very, very lucky.
Let us now introduce you to Stitch. Having just celebrated 14 years, Stitch is located in Wicker Park, a historical Chicago neighborhood northwest of The Loop. The store boasts of an eclectic mix of home decor, jewelry, handbags, and clothing for women, men, and children. They are especially known for their selection of leather bags and accessories, although they wanted to make sure that we mentioned THEY DO NOT SELL LEATHER PANTS! They said that their name and the abundance of leather items, often times, leads to some very "osbcure" phone calls! Ha ha!! Ok back on topic...
Stitch Chicago has been selling Avindy for the past 5 years. When we asked them why they love Avindy they said, "All of their pieces have a beautiful balance of vintage, whimsy and modern edge. Avindy has a unique style that stands out while remaining delicate and refined at the same time." What an amazing compliment because that statement pretty much sums up what Avindy is going for. I am not sure we could have written a better description ourselves and we very much appreciate it!
Jackie, the wonderful Stitch team member who was so kind as to respond to our interview request, states that she has some favorite pieces, including the Gold Disc with Diamonds Necklace. She goes on to say that the Avindy rings are the real show stoppers in the store—grabbing the attention of every customer that walks by them. She seems to have no problem admitting that she and her other 3 co-workers, Matthew, Carlyn, and Pamela, have all been guilty of slipping on a stack of Avindy rings for the day. One of their best sellers (the second time we have seen this mentioned in an interview BTW) is the Pave Diamond Circle Ring because it's "bright, feminine, and just the right size for everyday wear."
Thank you guys and gals so much for being Avindy ambassadors, because that's what you really are! We cherish our relationship with you and we hope to be in your stores for many years to come. Now does that sound like a greeting card or what??
On a side note, we found this really cool do-dad on Google Maps that lets you have a virtual walk around this store. Check it out here. Waaaay cooler than just a plain ole image—though nothing is cooler than taking a walk around the store in real life. So, make sure you stop by and say hello to the staff for us. Also make sure you like them on Facebook. It's the cool thing to do.
