New Linen Button Scarves for FALL 2011

Check out couple new Linen Button Scarves we're offering!
We love how versatile the new Chevron print from Piano Noible can have a fun bold look in Hot Pink, and have a sophisticated elegant look in gold. We love them both!

Chikabird + Piano Nobile Line Debut this Weekend at UCU!

Isabelle and Nickolas of Piano Nobile runs a multi-faceted design studio where they could be described as professional designers and colalborators. Isabelle has a painting and printing background with a great sense of material, color, and texture. Nickolas on the other hand has an architecture background with mad building skills in all realms whether it be funiture, design build or a large scale printing table. I'm pretty sure he can build a pyramid.... I remember reading that in his resume somewhere....

Not only do they have the perfect print studio with their self-designed and welded textile printing set up, they're also just a short bike ride away from our studio in Ballard! It's almost too good to be true!
(and yes, convenience does matter...)

Did I mention that they have a dog named Bauhaus, and also owns a sweet vintage Vanagon and Volvo?
Can you stand it?!....I can barely keep my composure thinking about all their awesomeness.

So here it is! Our collaboration line with PN! Okay, so come to UCU to see all the goods in person! You can also go to our shop to check out the entire PN collaboration line.

New Bike Notebooks!

Here are some lovely and awesome bicycle notebook covers just printed by Slow Loris. The great artist, Jessica Lynch, is always drawing and sketching where ever she goes! She's crazy! Crazy GOOD that is! She documents all her drawings and printing process on their flickr site constantly, and it's always so inspiring to see.

I especially love the women's bicycle tee with the bunch of bicycles going across in rows!! I gotta order myself one of those for sure!
