Designing, Printing and the Comming Range

Hope you all made it through the colder months ok.
Well Random Ally has been busy in the past few months. We have new designs ready to be printed this week and plan, hope and pray we will have them ready for the coming long weekend where Random Ally will be at the Robe Community Market in the Robe RSL (South Australia). We will be a regular sight at this venue over the warmer months. I’ll keep you posted.
You can also find our tees at Blu Pod in Beachport (SA). Blu Pod has been very supportive of our label and other independent designers and artists. For this we are grateful. You can also find our tees at Etsy and Madeit. We have online stores on both sites.
We have also entered into the wonderful world of blogging which isn’t so scary after all. So you can find us at randomallyclothing.blogspot.com unfortunately we couldn’t get plain old randomally as our URL but that’s the way the cookie crumbles. So RA Clothing it is. Links are on all of our sites so it won’t be too hard to remember.
This year our tees seem to be in strong earthy colours. Think greens, greys, yellow, blues etc. I’m loving the deep bottle green that’s just arrived. The designs we have are also pretty random. The infamous hare is back but remodelled. I have spent the winter earning money in vineyards swarmed with hares and had to bring it back. It has been popular; I think people understand its combined awkwardness and confidence. It amazes me that an animal that looks like it was made with all the spare parts left in the animal factory, could be so oblivious to its strangeness and be so happy. We could learn a lot from these creatures.
We also have more of Kats Quirky characters (some ones been watching too much Tim Burton), trees, there will be more shoes and much more. So keep checking in. and spread the word.
This summer we will also be producing a range of badges, so keep an eye out for these also.
Cheers
SARAH

Random Allys First Blog

well hello there. today i have officialy become a blogger. wow who would have thought. Random Ally is an Australian Clothing label, consisting of hand printed tees for both man and women. owned and ran by sisters Sarah and Kat, both artists. we both design and print or own product. at the moment we are in the finishing stages of designing our second range and will have them printed (first round, say 20 of each style) over the next week. this weekend is a long weekend here in rainy South Australia So we will take the opportunity to hold a market stall over the weekend in out tourist sea side town in robe.
hold a stall. oops i mean im running the market. yep thats right im running the thing i figured one stall onits own wasn't gunna do much so over coffee on Wednesday, me my sister and a friend came up with the great idea of holding a community market. so far we have about 10 stalls all together and will take over the RSL hall on the sat. if its all good, the next one is the end oct. hope it all goes well. hope i haven't bitten off more than i chew. the idea is that every one is given a space, pays and gets on with it.
well i hope you have all had a great weekend. i have, i spent the day in a gallery in Penola that i am a member of. its a member run gallery, basically to exhibit you have to help run it. penola is an hours drive from my home. about 100km. its a nice historical town and quite touristy. i had some excellent people come in today. everyone was enjoying their lazy sunday arvo. i think were all holding on to the last glimpse of winter, while its still here- well actually its not, its spring now but its wet and cold. nice
well thanks for reading my first attempt at blogging.
cheers sarah
