La LOOKBOOK for our cute newbie on the Block ...

Meet the utterly fun lovin'  ... OTTO JONES!!!

A picture speaks a thousand words right ... can you tell i'm totally in LOVE hearty eyes with this new guy?? (i'd smile a little more, but my face still gets a little wonky from the Bell's Palsy - awkward!)

But seriously ... OTTO is such a character let me tell you ... he is triple amounts o fun not only in appearance... but his innate character (move over my Mr ... there is gonna be a new man in my life + his name starts with O + ends in JONES!)  Now yes he does look a little bit similar to the KINN JONES style, but he in fact is quite different ::

- Firstly ... OTTO is designed to sit not as deep on the Noggin as our other characters.

- Our major pride in the Sparky Jones range, is coming up with designs + colour combos that you'll never find anywhere else (whilst remaining sustainable) ... truthfully i  don't want to look the same as everybody else, it drives me nuts ... so pushing myself to create never seen before designs/aspects is my #1 driving force.   Now OTTO'S wrap around flap, dare i say will become one our topnotch SPARKY JONES signatures + really, a fab way o showcasing the bestest vintage + reclaimed rare fabrics that hold a story deep within its fibres.

- Lastly ... if you can't tell ... he's  t h e  most. fun. loving character!  The not so serious guy you need sitting on your shoulders (literally) as a gentle reminder to 'not be so hard on yourself + have some FUN silly pants'.  Pair him with summery dresses, jeans + T, for a Night out, Day in , Date night, insane day w the littles ... this uniquely positive character has got your back + will seriously become ya 'go to' style for the summer o 2018.

You can pop over to our NEW ONLINE SHOP to have a far better read o the finer details of o OTTO JONES in the Limited Edition  'Landscapes',

Before you go i just wanted to tell you that we do only have a limited amount of characters we can physically stitch up in this tiny studio, so unfortunately ... once we have reached our maximum capacity, the little chap will be SOLD OUT.  The last few tidbits o info will be added to our Insti + FB over the next week, so check in around 8pm PST nightly for that hot gossip - wink wink!

DROP DATE NIGHT will be Monday 11th June at 7PM PST on the knocker ... so set those egg timers, phone alarms + retro clocks ... set it all!

NB // if you jump on our Mailing List asap  ... you will receive a $10 off code (within the week) for your next Nogginware purchase!  Go do that STAT!. You can join here

Alright my loves. i must away + prepare for a new day o juggling little peoples + creating scrumptious Nogginware.

New year - x - New beginnings

The Less is more approach.

Well I have to say last year got a little outta hand, true as they say … the less time you have in life … the bigger + busier your reality becomes and my business was moving in a direction that I truly had been wishing for.  In 2017 I had the mindset that I wanted to wholesale to 3 boutiques + do only 2 Christmas shows, as that would totally be manageable for my lifestyle of being CEO to 3 little humans (as they really, they are my main form of employment), so as the year evolved + unraveled those desired daydreams … ended up falling into place quite organically.... however,  the kicker that I hadn’t planned on was … how busy all of those avenues put together would become!  The monthly feature Nogginware drops were selling out fast, other random orders were coming in + I was getting texts from la retailers saying …. We need more, more more.  ONLY problem is … slow fashion is hard to produce … quickly.

Now I’d be lying if I said I was keeping it all together in an #instaperfect way.  I wasn’t sleeping great, the kiddo’s were driving me nuts, because I was driving them nuts + for a lot o it, and our whole family (like everybodies) seemed to be stuck in a vicious cycle o sickness/germs/cooties …. but on the other hand,  I was feeling ecstaticly exhausted that this tiny business was getting places!  Enter the now, its my favourite time o year ... a fresh new beginning called the NEW YEAR.  I took me some time over the Christmas break and just really unplugged from everything, put my hardcore thinking cap on to try + figure out how to change things for the better in 2018….. and I came up with quite the A grade gooder’s!

The biggest being … the LESS is MORE approach!

Social Media … well I have a love/hate with the sport, so I will be in fact spending less time hanging out on our insti/FB + more time … well ….LIVING!  Perhaps it could be Social Media “algorithm” suicide, but I’m going to do a little experiment for a year + only post positively topnotch stuff instead of daily fluffy fillers, that quite frankly are a full time job in itself (Did I mention I really love sewing!).  So make sure to turn your notifications ON for sparkyjoneshats , and be sure to sign up for our Mailing List, as that’s where we’ll be focusing our lovely energies + attention + scrumptious news.  Like I’m meaning sign the hell up RIGHT NOW!!!

Secondly, this place is about to become a whole lot more COLOURFULLY WONDERFUL.  I’ll be taking my love o colour, sewing + life (including my little people) in some new whiz bang directions, but it could just take a little more o my time + efforts to make Sparky Jones that little more delicious, but hey … extra yummy is worth a touch o patience in my books.

And lastly, this tiny team is slowly growing, thank my lucky stars some lovely souls have entered my life who unbeknownst in the beginning, are as anally retentive + particular as moi.  Enter happy dance like a rockstar with shiny glittery shoes, as now i’ll be able to grow this quality handmade Noggin topper dream with some awesome HELP, extra love + sanity in my back pocket – Ya Ya Yipty!!!

So just as a recap … this topnotch tiny Nogginware biz is about to get a whole lot more fanfuckingtabulous by focusing on less + achieving WAY MUCH more with a side of COLOURFUL ... how ?… well sista ... you gots to stay tuned + sign up to get on our Mailing List, yes this is like the final reminder to get on the. MAILING. LIST.   

Au Revoir friendly folks + fine peoples, may your day be just that little bit brighter!
