Mum's the word!

Mum's the word this week her at Kaftans HQ. Not only are we working overtime to get our Mother's day orders out in time, we have just been featured in Cosmo Pregnancy magazine for one of our maternity kaftans! Check it out here.
Yes, that has also been keeping us on our toes! (Well its kept Annalisa chained to her sewing machine!)
If you've been down to see us at St Kilda market, you may have tried on one of our super warm capes. Well now that the weather has officially turned cold, its about time to get yourself one!

Standing out in the cold at the markets was always something I dreaded, but I am a proud owner of the Annalisa 'Huntress' Faux Fur cape (available here) . So now I can't wait for each Sunday to roll around! (Although I do wear it at the office during the week too!)
Faux Fur Huntress Cape

Annalisa has also just designed a new warm, neutral coloured cape with a faux fur collar, which looks sophisticated and elegant. I don't have photos just yet, as we sold out of them all on the weekend! 
Stay tuned for that one!

Now, back to Mothers! With Mother's day less than 2 weeks away, we have plenty of kaftans, capes and vests for you to buy mum this year. We also have a gift wrapping option on our website.
I have also just set up a Gift Certificate option online, which is perfect if you don't know what to get mum or as a cheaper option to buying something off the website. They are also great for Dads to buy as gifts from their children, as this week I had a few men step into our store with a puzzled look as they looked around for something to buy for their wife (too many choices!!).
So keep that in mind too!

I'm off to go buy more cape fabric as we are running very low after last week!

Keep warm!!

Winter is coming!

What do you do when your entire 'going out' wardrobe becomes void due to the weather?
We all know that our winter outfits just don't cut it, and nobody wants to be stuck in the freezing cold in that little black dress!

Now I know its only March, but I am freezing right now, (you cant blame me, its 13 degrees outside!) and with my birthday coming up this week, I would have been dreading going out for drinks in any of the clothes that I would usually wear out.

But now, I'm actually very excited!! Kaftans By Annalisa (www.kaftansbyannalisa.com) have just launched their winter range (currently available exclusively at the markets, and soon to be released online- so stay tuned).

Included in the range are kaftan tops, to be worn over your leggings and boots, wool capes, faux fur vests and my favourite - which I'll be wearing out this weekend- the faux fur cape.

Yesterday was the first day that the public got a look at the faux fur capes (at the markets) and we sold out! They are warm, they look great, and the colours match almost everything! I don't have a photo just yet, we weren't expecting to sell out, so I will have pictures for you shortly.

Capes are definitely in this winter, with almost every celebrity being photographed in one in the US/Europe winter, we know the style is heading this way!

Our wool capes are also super warm, and with a range of different colours, there is something to suit everyone.

Well I wont tempt you any longer. I'm off to buy some more fabric so we can get the garments ready for a photo shoot and our online release.

Stay tuned!!
