as we enter fall

It is quickly feeling like fall here in Portland. I usually get up early to have my cup of french press before everyone else wakes up. This morning the air was crisp & chilly and I quickly rummaged about for a cosy sweater & woolly socks. In honor of the changing season, here are some new zipper pouches in fabulous colors & prints.

I love lists and organizing. These zipper pouches are my favorite right now. They are roomy enough to fit all the essentials (cash, cards, keys, phone..lipstick), but small enough to throw into a larger bag or even your jacket pocket. Here are the latest in our shop, made out of amazing Japanese fabrics (compliments of my dear friend Alison). The colors and prints are so lovely and you better grab yours before they are all gone!

the latest

The 1st Anniversary of opening Frankie & Coco PDX is fast approaching! Sarah & I are so grateful for the amazing journey we have had thus far and excited for what the future will bring.   Our Etsy shop is flourishing, celebrating 500 sales this month.  We launched two shops with Shoppe by Scoutmob earlier this year. Frankie & Coco Kitchenette, which features our small batch artisan infused finishing salts and Frankie & Coco PDX, which highlights our beautiful, yet practical bags.  In addition to planning our 1st Anniversary soirée & trunk show (more info soon), we are busy preparing for the Crafty Wonderland Super Colossal Spring Sale. This is our first time participating in this event and we can't wait!  If you live in or near Portland, mark your calendars and come see us!

Ahh, color pop!  Indigo & white abstract canvas with turquoise brushed denim accents.

f&c in january

It’s been a wonderful few weeks into the new year here at Frankie & Coco PDX of making, designing, card playing, studio organizing, tennis watching (and playing), retail opportunity on the new horizon, karaoke, visiting with friends and meeting new ones. There were even a few PDX Etsy celebrity sightings.

We were excited that Frankie & Coco’s fuchsia wool with black canvas foldover clutch was in Ann Cosgrove of acbc Design's bold + beautiful  treasury featured on the front page of Etsy!  A great collection making us dream of a bright spring ahead.

Last week we had a fun night visiting with other PDX Etsy-ers, many of which we have been crushing on for a very long time.  It was a blast to meet the makers of Prunella Soap, Reverse Chronology, Portland Apron Company, The Cozy Project, Huzz Art Shop, Pom Love, Kyra Botanica, Ready Maker Design and Etsy guru Melissa Santos.

February is already shaping up to be a busy month. We are looking forward to a little down time this weekend to say goodbye to January and welcome in a new month.
