Thanks Marc

Thanks to Marc at torontoisfashion.com for the Biko plug.  He shot a bit of the Biko booth at the Clothing Show this past weekend and had some nice things to say.

Rebranding Update & Bicyclette

Ok, I'm jittering with excitement as Biko's re-branding unfolds!  Yes there is quite a ways to go before it's complete, but we're getting there.  Here's a little preview of what's on the new Biko website: www.ilovebiko.com  That's the new logo you see on there, and the new wordmark is still a secret to most of you.  As I write this, the new business cards and tags are ready to run on the press, and I should see them by the end of the week!  They are going to be so pretty, I can't wait!

On another note, I wanted to introduce you to Paige Boersma's blog and online shop, called Bicyclette.  I've been following her blog for quite some time, and I'm a huge fan of the modern romantic aesthetic she presents so well.  Bicyclette will be carrying Biko in the shop soon, and there will be a live Bicyclette & Biko studio sale sometime before Christmas.  Yey to holiday parties and great finds!  

Here is a photo taken from one of Bicyclette's photoshoots. The model wears the Biko Telescope Necklace.

The Tent

This is the BIKO tent this weekend at the Queen West Art Crawl // Art Show & Sale.  Yesterday was a great day... thanks to everyone who stopped by!  Today should be fun times as well, and the sun is shining big time too!  Come to booth E-44, right near Queen St, across from the White Squirrel Cafe (which has delicious coffee, by the way).

Thrill of the Find

Take a peek at these babies! Introducing a mini-collection of Biko one-of-a-kind scarf necklaces, made from pretty vintage scarves and old and new metal findings.  No two necklaces will ever be alike, and once they're gone, they're gone. 

Come find them (and everything else) this weekend at the Queen West Art Crawl - Outdoor Art Show & Sale. 
Hours: Sat. 11-6, Sun. 11-6

Wedding season is pretty much over...

...but not for these frisky feline lovers.  I imagine the cake was a tall beige mound of wet cat food, shaped and set all fancy by one of those decorative jello moulds.
