New Photoshoot

Yesterday we managed a quick photoshoot, here's a few shots. A big thanks to Jake & Lauren, checkout what they do here and here

New Print

We've got a few new prints coming out over the next few days, here's the first ( it should be online and instore by Friday/Saturday) and as well as the standard t-shirt we have some limited edition (6) handmade slouch tops.

Blackpool/Public Art

Leading upto our soon to be open Blackpool based pop-up shop - Me&FYC, we thought we'd show some of our favourite places in Blackpool. Starting with 2 pieces of amazing public art - The Comedy Carpet and The Giant Disco Ball.

The comedy carpet is amazing just because it looks great even if you don't read all the quotes, and I can ride my bike over it!!!!, and the giant mirror ball.... well it's a giant mirror ball!!!!!!!

If you want the proper info on these 2 pieces of public art you can find out about the comedy carpet here and the mirror ball here.

Shopfit

We've been a bit quiet on the blog recently, as we spent last week doing a new shopfit of the womens half our Afflecks store. Here's a few snapshots so you can see what it's like.

The amazing counter was made by us (we really do do everything!!!!) out of old screen printing screens and shows some of our designs from 2005/2006/2007

Australian Stuff

Now some of you might know that here at Me&Yu we are heavily influenced by Australian culture, so much so that we're stupid enough to spend £30 getting an Australian magazine (Monster Children) shipped over every couple of months even though it's heavily surf/skate based and we do neither!!! - however it is without doubt the best magazine around and definitely worth the £30, followed secondly by Frankie which luckily they stock in Magma.
Anyway I just thought it was worth sharing a few things from the magazine -

The Laurels



Goon of Fortune - (A goon is the silver bag you get inside a box of wine)

Sue Denim - Bicycle

Check out this video for the amazing Sue Denims new song Bicycle - and spot the Me&Yu!!!!!!

 

A Day in The Studio

Finished Necklines for the Handmade Is Tropical Print T-Shirts

Made a Pattern and a sample for our NEW Handmade Floral Slouch Tops

Started stitching the NEW Handmade Unisex Stripe Vests - The new cover stitch machine takes some practice, but the results are awesome!!

And while I was sewing Gordon was printing new labels for all the new designs.

Tomorrow is another busy studio day - I'll be finishing the stripe vests and adding a printed pocket. Then making some more of the floral slouch tops with a lace back & drop hem.

If I get chance I might make some womens vests too!!

Tropical
