Magnificant May @ Macy’s!

We ended 2009 with 6 trunk shows at Macy’s on State Street and we thought things couldn’t get better. Well in 2010 we were put on the Macy’s schedule for a whopping 9 trunk shows!!!!!! We were super excited and got an extra treat when we were invited to debut at the River Oaks Macy’s in February. All of the trunk shows went extremely well, and as usual tons of DS supporters, came out to show there support.

We had a great time each show and our best selling items to date is our Double Stitch Roaring 20’s Flapper Hats and our versatile Overhead Sleeves. Now we look forward to our final May event at Macy’s on May 20th at 5:30 – 8:30pm. It’s the Macy’s Fashionista Shopping Party, complete with sips, sweets and shopping. What more can a fashionista ask for?

See you there!
The Double Stitch Twins!
