Awww....

these two lovely ladies are fans of Love Shine.












They came in recently to re-up on their Love Shine bag collections.















And what great choices! Among other things they purchased a Black Butterfly Medium tote and a Black Zinnia Market Bag.

Tres chic, no?

Lovin' Love Shine Bags

She just bought a B&W Flores Topstitch Tote... this print has become very popular lately! We hope this young lady enjoys her snazzy new bag.






















Unfortunately we caught her with her eyes closed... But this charming Brazilian customer was really delighted to get 20% off on her new Sugar Skull Backpack.

Remembering

Michael Jackson.

Lots of talk on the television lately about the "man in the mirror"... We watched part of the Oprah (reflecting on Michael Jackson) re-run last night.

Odd, in so may ways, but also moving.

Well we also have a cool Day of the Dead figurine of Michael at Love Shine.


Unfortunately it does not do the moonwalk!

NEW Shipment of Love Shine Oil Cloth Medium Totes

has arrived!!!


And, we have tweaked the design to include a black canvas bottom.



This design change should make this bag a little more sturdy and gives it a nice color accent.

Emergency


This dashing man came in yesterday looking for a t-shirt. Immediately. He has just come from a messy eating affair.
Luckily, we had one Love Shine Lucha t-shirt left.
And even better, it fit him perfectly!

This papi (literally, he came with his child and baby's momma) knows how to wear a Cutting-Up t-shirt...


His female companion was a little camera shy... but not this guy! We say goodbye to the last tin rose mirror.
