Hi Everyone! I would like to inform everyone that Fairies and Floozies POP UP is opening tomorrow!! I have not done too much promo for this yet but thought id inform forum members first to get some feedback!! The new pop up is located at 1a Zenoria Street, which is next door to the ED Warehouse and to the rear of Cafe Nero! Please come along and say hi! tell me what you think and so on! The new store will be a little different to our Melbourne Grove Location and the initial feedback(people have sneaked in for a peek!) has been amazing. Its worth a visit to take a look at the shed Fitting Room and the hot pink floor! For those who have visited us at Melbourne Grove a massive thankyou!!!!! You have helped the store become a great success and we will continue to do what we do there(we will not be closing). The new pop up will be more than "just another clothes shop" but all will be revealed in due course! Please Visit us and mention the FORUM for your 10% discount. All feedback is greatly appreciated. Again, Thankyou for all your Support Nick F&F

hiya guys! Thanks for all the nice comments from forum members who have been in, glad to see people have been in due to the edf. Although i dont want to temp fate and hear negative views!! Im kinda suprised more views havent been shared on here!!

Hi Everyone, Would just like to let everyone know Fairies and Floozies is now open and I would love everyone to pass by and let me know what you think. The shop is looking great and the reaction has been fantastic so far, I have an opening promo on at the mo so please spread the word and pop in to make the most of it. Nick

right let me make it clear, fairies and floozies is womens clothes shop which will also sell bags,belts,jewels,hair accesories and as of today a handmade limited edition underwear range.

Hi Guys, Ive started a new thread to make sure everyone sees the opening date, the shop is looking great and all of you are welcome to come and take a look. I cant stress just how nervous I am and would love any further suggestions on spreading the word. Slowly I have built up the brands but I am also stocking a number of new independant young designers as Id love to give them exposure and stock unique items. I have already set up a facebook group and page so please look and join. I will be placing pics up and communicating through the group quite a lot you can also mail [email protected] once I open I will be having a launch event so I will keep you posted. There will also be other events like styling evenings and swapshops as I want to have a bit of a different vibe. There will also be an opening offer to obtain a Dulwich discount card, please email or join the groups, I will also offer student discount. I look forward to seeing you and any suggestions are welcome. Nick

hiya guys, thankyou for the positive replies! Work is ongoing at the shop and as you know these things always take longer than expeted. I can however confirm that 'fairies and floozies' will open sat 19 of sept 09 at 16 melbourne grove. As i am sure you know its a tough spot to trade from but once the word gets round i am hoping everyone will fall in love with the shop the service and the vibe and come back. Any suggestions for advertising will be greatly accepted. I also want to make everyone aware of the facebook group 'fairies and floozies' and the email address [email protected] registering on these will make you able to recieve a 10 percent dulwich discount card there will also b student discount. fairies and floozies will be more than just 'sum shop' there will be organised events, style consultation nites,swapshopnites and many more ideas to bring the shoppers together! Il be posting more this week so keep a look out!.

Hi Guys, Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself, my name is Nick and I have taken over number 16 Melbourne Grove, formaly Petals. I undertand how important the local area is for you guys which is understandable. I am from East Dulwich and i thought communicating through the forum would be great way to get any suggestions or pointers from everyone. I know Melbourne Grove is a bit of a backstreet but i feel that with the right promotion businesses CAN work. The units which have been empty have all been taken so things can only look up. I am pretty nervous writing on here as i know some of you can be a little harsh but I thought this would be a good way to kick off. For those of you who feel there is a clothes shop saturation in E.Dulwich I am sorry but the unit will remain as a ladies clothes shop. I understand the previous closed but my shop will be different and different from all of the other shops in the area. It will be individual,edgy and reasonable,it will cater for all ages but have more of a "East London Vibe" (I hope that doesent sound stupid!). I will be telling you more info over the next few days but feel free to ask questions or make comments. Nick

Ive thought long and hard about the bouncer thing, I agree, In an ideal world it would be better without bouncers. Having some big lump at the door gives a certain image,inside 72 never had bouncers and they never seemed to have trouble,ok people had there faults with it but it wasnt troublesome in that way. Ladies toilets, I have already thought to make it a bit more lux than the current Dulwich trend. The state of some toilets are a joke but the people using the places have to take some responsibility. Comfy seating,and space management, I understand and will bear it in mind, however the bar will be very small as most of you know what is available in Dulwich and the larger the site the more ridiculous the rent.I want it to be intimate and eclectic where people feel relaxed.

Thanks very much benjaminity, i will bear that in mind especialy the adventure bar ref!.

James, u getting the idea im leaning that way, this place will defo not be generic!

Just to inform you about the venue, I am not saying sorry as I do not want to get in trouble for putting this post up. As for the Woolwich site, I did actually go for that unit bat I was turned down as a large company was interested and ATISREAL(the agent)accepted them over everyone else. I believe it was to be a betting office.

The point of the marying between the day and evening trade is important and something which I am giving alot of thought. I think the only way is for the day vibe to drastically chang into the evening, ie, music. Unfortunately the venue will not open for next weekend, sorry sean. The purchasing process is full of red tape as I am sure you know.

There will not be a jukebox,sorry, not enough room and will not fit in with the decor(not meaning a snobby,common interior will be installed),again sorry. Music will be very mixed and interesting. As for the cocktails,as we know Adventure is opening and I cant compete with thier list, however ane of my friends is one of the best cocktail barman in Mayfair and we are working on a small varied menu focused on the quality and not quantity(do not fear,the word mayfair as the prices will not reflect that!).

Lozzyloz, many of those boxes are ticked and I have to say I will make service my number one priority.
