This week my gal pal and neighbor Brooke will close her store. This will mark the end of a great run for B. Page & Co., her women’s apparel shop on Railroad Avenue here in Warwick. For more than four years its served as a mainstay for the style seekers of Warwick and beyond.
I will miss the shop for sure...I found so many fabulous garments (including my new favorite red, three-tier cupcake dress!) hanging on the racks...Her offerings were always so now, and so classic -- always fresh, and sometimes just a wee bit edgy...designs from Velvet, Susana Monaco, Trina Turk, Sanctuary, Beth Bowley...ahhhhh. So yes, I am sad to see her shop close...But, I am totally thrilled for what's on the horizon for Brooke!
She is returning to her roots and realm of the 7th Avenue design houses and her first love. Brooke is collaborating on a clothing line of her own design with a former manufacturing partner. She will soon ink a licensing deal with a Japanese-owned apparel group to market and sell her debut collection. “Bastien Luxe”, is her collection of knit sportswear named for her five year old son Sebastien. It will launch Spring 2009 at Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus.
Now how cool is that?!
Watch for her
knit ensembles and the brand name in seasons to come. Go Brooke - I have a feeling you will knock "St. John" out of the water!
Followers, friends and newcomers alike, are invited to wave a fond farewell to this talented designer and her Railroad Avenue location and... take advantage of a final clearance sale with deep discounts. The store will remain open Thursday-Sunday, July 24th- August 2nd from 11am- 6pm. If you can make it over, please tell her I sent you...
Fashion followers interested in Brooke's upcoming design endeavors are encouraged to contact her at bpageandco@aol.com.
Thanks Brooke for all the fab fashion fun...
