Can You Imagine.....?

Being the daughter of a farmer and getting married in a barn, in the country, surrounded by  horses and cats and dogs....and your groom, who comes from a long line of farmers?

And you would be wearing a beautiful ruffled cotton gown from Magnolia Pearl, with a faded denim shirt belted at the waist. (both available at Tattered Rose, Edmonton)

How enchanting that would be.....♥

Leather Jackets

Difficult to capture this putty dusty rose pink leather jacket.......but it is a gorgeous and unusual colour....would be very neutral as far as what you could wear it with. 
Soft, supple and substantial. The 3 S's.

Revised Holiday Hours

Online Reviews vs Reality

As of this day, December 14, 2015 and for quite a while now, Tattered Rose has received some wonderful reviews on Yelp.
We have 4 1/2 stars out of 5; 7 reviews showing and 4 hidden 5 star reviews!

Thank you to all of our wonderful customers who took the time to write reviews...it means a lot to us; however, the real truth is in your actual visit to our shop.

We may have our off days, after all we are human, but we really DO try to make each and every person walking through our doors feel welcome.

And then we try our best to help you find the perfect outfit, accessory and/or home decor item to add to your repertoire.

This year marked our 20th year in business; 16 of those operating as Tattered Rose. Yippee!

BLACK FRIDAY SURPRISE SALE! TODAY ONLY!

 
Tattered Rose never has HUGE sales, as such, although we DO always have a sale rack at the back of the store.

So, even though other stores are having 50% - 70% off for Black Friday sales, that just doesn't work for us.

Why? Because most of the clothing we sell isn't trendy, "throw-away" clothing and therefore to be gotten rid of. That type of clothing isn't what we were built on although we DO have a smidgen of it for our trendier customers.

Most of our clothing is timeless, and romantic, vintage or vintage-inspired.....as well as one-of-a-kind hand made designs.
So 10% off all black merchandise in the store, plus 10% off already marked down clothing on the sale rack is a big deal for us.

We just wanted to be part of the fun of BLACK FRIDAY....which is an idea that originated in the USA, the day after Thanksgiving.

I'll be wearing black (of course)
All day today only...a Tattered Rose sale!

As the Crow Flies...a Gothic tale by Tattered Rose

On my daily walk this morning, there was a solitary crow at the roof peak of the school I pass by...it was crowing it's heart out. Perhaps, he too was miffed by the loud sounds of children playing in the schoolyard. But I digress....

Actually, it made me think of the colour (or should I say, non-colour) BLACK. As a child, I never wore black. I didn't know about wearing black back then, as it was many decades after the Victorian mourning period, where it was accepted that family members of a lost loved one would wear all black for some time after the death.

When I was about 6 or 7 years old, my older sister, who was about 18 or 19 years old, came back home to live again, after seeing the world for a few years. I would watch with fascination, as she put her makeup on and did her hair while getting ready for a date, wearing black lingerie and sometimes even a black sweater or pants. I noticed the black but still, it wasn't appropriate for children to wear black.

Fast forward to my first real job in business. A young lady who became my friend wore a lot of black and even though I greatly admired her style, I was still into wearing mostly colour with some grey thrown in.....

Then, somewhere down the road, in my own sweet time, I too developed a fondness for wearing black. As most of my customers will attest, I am usually wearing black and/or grey...my two main wardrobe colours and the ones I always feel most like myself in.
There are a lot of us who wear a lot of black and Tattered Rose has plenty of black clothing as well as Gothic & Steampunk clothing.

Black crows, black cats, black clothing....what do they call it when things just come together like that?

The End (for now)

Sympli the Best-Fall 2015

Our first Fall shipment of Sympi the Best has arrived.....our fav colour this season is currant....looks amazing with black or grey!
 
Split skirt over leggings (as shown in picture).....so sexy in person.

Tattered Rose is Eclectic Alright!

Our shop in Edmonton carries one of the most eclectic mixes of women's clothing, jewellery, accessories & home decor you have ever seen in one place!

From Victorian to Gothic....Steampunk to vintage....original designs & handmade....office soft dressing (Sympli the Best) to casual (Cut Loose) and so much more that cannot be described in a few sentences.

And while the owner/in-house designer is a little bit eccentric & goofy, she has a heart of gold and really wants to make each customer feel wonderful in what they buy to wear. I can say that about myself because I know my thoughts.

Please join us in welcoming July, as we begin to see the early arrival of pre-Fall (sorry) goods.

Happy Canada Day!

To all of our customers & friends...may you enjoy this day and remember what a great country we live in!

Happy Canada Day, eh?

♥Shop Local in Edmonton♥

Edmonton is such a diverse city with lots of choices when it comes to shopping......from West Edmonton Mall to all of the little boutiques found in so many nooks and crannies throughout the city, including Tattered Rose.
It's what makes the shopping in our city so interesting....many have said it is even better than Calgary.
Please try to shop local and not give your dollars to online stores that are somewhere else in the world. I know that once in a while, it is unavoidable....like when you can't sleep because your husband is snoring at 3:00 am and there are no local stores open to shop at.....
But aside from those instances, if you make it your goal to get out and see your city, support your local shops and markets, it will mean that we can continue to be as diverse and beautifully charming as we can be.
Let's make Calgary jealous.......in a friendly-rivalry-sort-of-way.

Love,
Tattered Rose

Child of the Universe

The other day, a family came into Tattered Rose for the first time...a Mom & Dad and their daughter, who was about 9 years old.

The fact that I am still thinking about this little girl shows what an impact she had on me...hers was the soul of someone who seemed to have lived decades more than her age (or maybe lived in another time)

She was articulate, mature in an innocent, childlike way and she loved the store. She gently pointed out to her parents items of clothing and art that she found particularly beautiful. Her eyes glanced around the store, soaking up every inch of it and enjoying just being there. It made my heart feel so happy to see this child "get" what my shop is about.

I found myslf talking to her more than her parents because she is one of those "old soul" children you come across now and then who you just want to know better because they are so interesting.
I am certain that if Tattered Rose is still here when she is a young woman buying her wardrobe, she will be shopping in my store because she will remember how it made her feel when she was in as a little girl.

I love children like that....almost makes me wish I had a daughter or two.
