Larie!

Larie! (loosely translated as Gibberish!) is one of my favourite Dutch labels at the moment. Me and Alja (the sweet and super funny lady behind the label) have been Tweeps for a while and a couple of months ago she invited me to visit her at her lovely Larie! studio for a real Tweetup. *) Alja creates the most lovely and original iPhone sleeves, keycords, bags (and lots more) with her embroidery machines (she has like, five different sewing machines, I couldn’t stop drewling by the sight of so many cool machines…and her beautifully decorated studio. I mean, there was some serious drewling going on man!) I almost kidnapped the (not for sale) horse on the picture below and I almost lured Alja’s sweet dog into my car, so I guess she was happy that I left the building with only one bag filled with Larie! goodness in the end of the day. (And my Love was happy he didn’t have to pick me up from the police station.) So.. this first tweetup ever was a big success (and I think Alja is happy to hear that the pictures with her on it turned out too dark…even though I promised her I would not post non-flattering pictures of us here :-D) Thanks Alja, you rock!

Check out the Larie! webshop here (and make sure you bring a big bag with money with you…and don’t say I didn’t warn you)!

*) Tweeps = Twitterian for friends, tweetup = meet-up (I was a total nerd when it came to Twitter until I joined a while ago, so a little translation wouldn’t hurt eh? I often wonder who thought of that silly but yet so funny Twitter gobbledygook. In the beginning I was determined to resist all that Twitter nonsense, but here I am now…heavily addicted. I might even invent some Twitterian myself in the future…)
