Sakkara Clothing & Costume Winter Trunk Show, February 23, 2012:

Oh, we had a great time! What a stellar evening, spent in the vintage atmosphere of the Hotel deLuxe. There were clothes (note to self: of course there were clothes, don’t be ridiculous). There was music. There were delicious crudités. There were lots of fun visitors who made the evening a success. Thank you, everybody. We can’t wait for the next one!

More behind the cut!

5th Annual Cues & Tattoos festival in Seattle, March 30-April 1, 2012:

SCC traveled to Seattle for the 5th Annual Cues & Tattoos festival. It was great to get out-of-town and see the sights and meet some new people. It was the general consensus of our booth attendees that the Pacific Northwest needs a festival like this every month. How ’bout it, everybody?

What a super year it’s been! In March we had a great time at the Bridgetown Fashion Revue show.

Next, the highlight of our Summer was vending at JamBallah NW. Oh, we had a blast! There was no shortage of interesting stuff going on at this festival and we heartily recommend your attendance at the next one!

In Autumn, many beautiful images were created at a photo shoot with the talented Scott Belding and Seattle-based model Briauna Mariah. Keep an eye on this girl–she’s going to go far!

We finished out December with an Artists’ Trunk Show at SomaSpace followed by Shimmer! The Nagamani Winter hafla featuring the music of Ritim Egzotik. It was the perfect event for an icy cold evening, with a bevy of sparkly performers and sizzling Arabic and Turkish tunes.

It’s very exciting how quickly 2012 is filling up. Yay for abundance! One event that we will be here before we know it is the Cues & Tattoos festival. It’s happening in late March and will we see you there? We sincerely hope so!

Happy New Year to you and yours.

2011 in Review is a post from: Sakkara Blog

From The Witching Hour by Anne Rice, a favorite book:

“…I soon realized I was gazing directly at Stella–far more dramatic than any picture of her could possibly be. She was clad in gold silk–a skimpy little dress, no more than a remnant of a chemise layered with fringe, it seemed, and barely covering her shapely knees. Tiny gold sequins covered her gossamer stockings, and indeed the dress itself, and there was a gold satin band of yellow flowers in her short wavy black hair. Around her wrists were delicate glittering gold bracelets, and at her throat the Mayfair emerald, looking quite absurdly old-fashioned, yet stunning in its old filigree, as it rested against her naked flesh.

“A child-woman, she appeared, slim, breastless, yet entirely feminine, her lips brazenly rouged, and her enormous black eyes literally flashing like gems as she took in the crowd gazing at her in adoration, without ever missing a beat of dance. Her little feet in their flimsy high-heel shoes came down mercilessly on the polished floor, and throwing back her head, she laughed delightedly as she made a little circle, swishing her tiny hips, her arms flung out.

“That’s it, Stella!’ someone roared, and yet another, ‘Yeeeah Stella!’ and all of this with the rhythm, if you can imagine, and Stella managing somehow to be lovingly responsive to her worshipers, while at the same time giving herself over, limply and exquisitely, to the dance.

“If I have ever seen a person enjoy music and attention with such innocent abandon, I did not recall it then and I do not recall now…”

Perhaps Stella would have been wearing these fabulous shoes?

Hi all!

I am wanting to express my gratitude to all of our fans, customers, friends and supporters. Creating our clothing business has been fun and rewarding yet we marvel at how unpredictable and hungry it is. Our “baby” is only half a year old and growing quickly, which is so thrilling to experience. In celebration of Thanksgiving, I want to tell you how important you are (yes, you!) and how grateful we are for your support, humor, patience, Facebook comments, emails and all the good energy sent our way. A business doesn’t just run itself: it takes the input of many to make it happen. If you’re reading this, we thank you.

We’ve got a lot of cool stuff comin’ around the corner and look forward to telling you all about it. In the meantime, we wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. Safe travels and be well!

Kim (and Brian)
