Packaging

Our packaging has all been delivered from the printers, wonderful! So thought we would give our bloggers a sneaky peep. We have boxes, stickers, 10% off vouchers, student discount vouchers, Jules Collection flyers, badges, letter heads, business cards and urban spark info booklets, Lovely!

Scrap-a-badge!

Urban Spark loves design, so why would we through any of it away! We take all our scrap paper drawings, print outs, test sheets and spec sheets and make them in to badges to give them to our customers. We think the process of design is just as important as the design itself so why would we discard any bits of work! I suppose you could class this as recycling in a way, but we think it’s more re-inventing. We Love design!

Spotted

Our very first scarf’s on some lovely spark girls, think so nicer to have a picture of someone wearing products rather than mannequins even if the photos are not amazing, sorry my bad skills, although the lovely ladie in the hat (Caz) if just enrolled on to a photography course so when we get the new batch of products in think we will be giving her first bit of experience, we will be planning to make our first catalogue by then so happy days. Computers are amazing but sometimes it’s nice to have a book, we are building our book collection up as we speak.


Also a quick photo of our first sample wallet from the new Rosa/Forest collection, there are three colours of this. We love bright and beautiful, very fun loving sample, few more adjustments and should be finished. We are ordering this week! Spark also thinks this zip purse is most functional we can keep changing the patterns and make the same purse but revamped with different colours to suit wardrobes for summer and spring. We are complete purse sluts, we love them!

Urban Spark Loves London

As the Spark offices are not based in London, we make sure that once a month we venture on southwest trains to the capital.
After seeing on “Style Bubble” of the trees from the exhibition “Walking in my mind” http://walkinginmymind.southbankcentre.co.uk/index, wanted to venture see it for our self’s with a sneaky pop to Spitafields market on the tube. We loved the messages people that had written in the bubbles.



We ventured to the Victoria and Albert Museum; they had some amazing little gems in the Museum shop. This T-shirt, jokes!

Glasto Dreams

Now a few weeks on from the Urban Sparks venture to the delights of Glastonbury festival we have time to reflect.
One of the defining moments was in the wee hours of Thursday night/Friday morning down in the amazing depts of shangrila in the only bar left open, we were lucky enough to have a few drops of rain (it pissed it down!). One of the team pulled out of their bag this amazing delight bought from a local gardening/craft discount shop in Gosport (The Range), I kid you not, amazing! This ladybird poncho is design innovation at its best, we love these quirky little festival made delights. The frog wallet will hopefully suit well next to this number.
P.S bobby and drew we have sent you a poncho hope you enjoy was a delight to have a flash of you in our memories, amazing times! (Bobby in photo loving the poncho) frog wallet sample/first attempt)

"I am slouching"

These samples are the first we have had back, the design when it’s all folded is "just defo in the mood to slouch" or a "I am just off to the market scarf", --- it’s a scarf whatever you want to do with it looks sick! Red is the staff fave to go with the old black leather jacket, black and green look really good with the gray cardies. As they are samples will give them out, as always we are a giving company after all need some photos with some styles so let us know if you are up for some styling, oh 100% cotton buy the way, requested the ink to be as bright as possible!
