Local designer opportunity!

We just love our neighbors to the west at Rakun! Check out this opportunity to get your clothing and accessories out into Colorado!

Rakun, a boutique in the Art District on Santa Fe, is looking for cute Denver designed clothes and accessories.  If you live in the Denver metro area and want a fun new place to sell your work, Rakun is perfect for you!  The vibe in the store is colorful, girly, and fun, and we want work that fits the mood of the store.  We especially need women’s summer clothing like sundresses, swimwear, and tanks, and children’s summer clothing.  Jewelry, handbags, hair accessories, and men’s accessories are also great!  Most of the current collection is really affordable, and we don’t carry formal wear, housewares, or pet gear.  Please email photos of your work to meghan@rakunshop.com.  For more info about Rakun, check out rakunshop.com or rakunshop on facebook.
