Thanks to a wonderful friend of ours from Maxted Thomas PR, gran's loose change is now on twitter! Follow us here http://twitter.com/granslc

Yes please...?

So my friend Jake is a bit flash when it comes to drawing stuff. Like, he's a bit amazing at portraits of Miranda Kerr, Kate Moss and crazy ladies with Mickey Mouse ears. We were thinking of stocking A4 original illustrations of people like Bowie, Bob Dylan, and hot little minxes from blogs we find here and there. We'd frame each drawing in a unique vintage frame AND deliver it to your door. No illustration would be reprinted, all one-off, ala-originals, (like my snazzy new Kate Moss when she was a mere 15 years old).

What do you think? Would you buy one?

We love you for loving us...

P.S fixuplooksharp has some sick writers, awesome music, and is a great procrastinaton tool! Not that we have time for that kind of thing these days...!

Shameless gloating...

"I came, I saw, I shopped. I just wanted to say that I LOVE your website, just found me some sweet new clothes in it. Yay... Awesome layout, great pics – the whole thing is so inspired. I usually fault most websites design in some way, but couldn’t fault yours."

Come one, come all...

So, despite a few temperamental issues, www.gransloosechange.co.nz is officially live. She is born. She is here. YAHOO!!!

I know, there's only something like 15 things for the boys. Well never fear. We have enlisted the help from a special someone, who happens to be a boy, (ok, a man) for 'man-clothes scouting'. We are also working on a 'supplier' to help with the levels of stock, as it seems you kids are cleaning us out!

We will endeavour to upload new products every week so be sure to check back daily as new delights will constantly be added. For guys AND the gals.

Thanks for your support and drop us a line at hello@gransloosechange.co.nz if you have anything exciting to share with us. Or even just to say hi.

Give them something to think about...

"It was such a pleasure to have delivered to my doorstep, 2 pairs of pre-loved boots beautifully and thoughtfully packaged as if they were brand new. A refreshing and accessible way to buy vintage."

gran's loose change was/is offering pre-sales on products listed on our facebook page and we are pleased and excited to announce that two pairs of boots and a blazer have sold with interest in a leather jacket and a jumper!

The site is ticking along and the build is nearly done. And, we did a bit more shopping in the weekend so new products will be added weekly. Daily if you're really lucky!

My gran always said: "Slow and steady wins the race"...so we wanted to thank you all for following our progress and hope to have the site live for you very, very soon.

We also wanted to remind you that what you see on the facebook site is just a sneak peak of the full product range which will be available to you on the live www.gransloosechange.co.nz site very soon.

The funniest thing is Levi (the male model in the top pic) stayed in my house when I lived in Sydney. He was only 16 and wanted to go out for a night on the town. We wouldn't let him. Responsible hosts and all...my flatmate at the time was his booker. Small world. He's now in the top 5 male models in New Zealand (according to www.model.net.nz)

Itty bitty pretty pictures...
