A customer asked me today how they could get hold of the Cry Coco t-shirt by Doghouse, when would we have more in stock? The Doghouse 2009-2010 collection is a limited edition, once it’s gone it’s gone! I don’t anticipate we have any more Doghouse in until the release of their next collection. There were only 50 of each style ever made and each is lovingly hand numbered and signed by the designer which makes them hot property. You may have notice that Queeni-B Boutique has sold out of Cry Coco t-shirt as it’s our bestseller but we popped down to see Manjit of Doghouse recently at Brick Lane’s Sunday (Up)Market in London’s East End and noticed that had one or two remaining but only in men’s sizes. So if you are gagging for the ever illusive  Cry Coco or another controversial T-shirt and can rock monochrome, pop down to Up-Market to see what is still available.

A new vintage inspired lingerie set is new in today, brought to us by lingerie label BannBee. This chocolate brown and cream bra and panties set sports the classic halter-neck cut and iconic polka-dot print of 1950s fashion whilst having a slight hint of burlesque influence in the details, the panties are ruched and gathered at the rear and are adorned with a big spotty bow.  The whole BannBee range is lovingly handmade in the East End of London and is such seductive eye-candy it’ll make any girl feel like a proper pin-up!

A big thank you to Alt Fashion who today featured our new range of vintage style dresses, playsuits and reinvented knitwear from Emma Brigitte London in their Daily Fashion Blog.  To read the article visit Alt Fashion’s Blog.

Today we have an exciting new range in from London Designer Emma Brigitte London. We spotted Emma at one of our favorite hunting grounds Craftactular just before Christmas where she was showing a selection of beautiful and unusual customized vintage knitwear and some yummy handmade 1950s style dresses. Emma has since been working on some new pieces too; some 1950s inspired playsuits. All of the above are now available at www.queenib.com. Each knitwear piece is an individually customized vintage jumper or cardigan adorned with the Emma Brigitte London signature lace insert which adds a romantic feel to a previously disowned gem. There are two super-cute playsuits with giant bows; one leopard print and one pink and black polka-dot, both are perfect for a budding pin-up or rockabilly girl. Finally but not least of all, we have six 1950s style dresses exclusive to Queeni-B Boutique. The six styles include the 1950s inspired ‘Bo Peep’ dress in polka-dot or floral – a pin-up inspired tailored dress with sweetheart neckline and peekaboo back, the 1950s inspired floral ‘Hattie’ short pencil dress with peekaboo back and the ‘Missie’ dress –  a yellow polka-dot dress with adorable plunge white collar back. All of these shapely dresses are designed to emphasize those pin-up curves. Click here to view the Emma Brigitte London collection.
