esoterikStacey and I started Esoterik in 2006 and had a great amount of success as young entrepreneurs. After having accomplished numerous goals, it’s now time for us to pursue new endeavors and challenges. In fact, these new endeavors are taking us to Australia at the end of February! With such a big change in location we are going to have to part ways with the company.

We have poured heart and soul into creating Esoterik so we want to see it go to a good home! All of the clothes are extremely high quality, trendy and unique. The garments are sourced from American Apparel and Alternative Apparel… no Hanes Beefy T’s here! … Read more!

CALLING VISUAL, MUSICAL, AND PERFORMANCE

998807_fingerpaint__11ARTISTS! 

Our art dept. is organizing a school-wide, full-day event featuring the arts. We are looking for artists of all different styles and media to come and share their talents with our elementary school students for a day. It is our hope, that by gathering many different artists from the surrounding area, we can help to foster and instill a lasting interest in a subject that often gets overlooked in schools: THE ARTS!!!

Basically, you would be presenting your art work and engaging the students in an activity of your choice with several classes of students. Classes will be supervised by Jefferson Academy Faculty/Staff, so there is no reason to be intimidated if teaching is not your thing. Our students are well behaved and extremely interested in the arts. If your profession is the visual arts, music, or theater/drama we would love to find a way to share it with our students!

Back to basics!

Before I started Fashion Denver in 2004, I was a handbag designer. I began my little business, b.shigley designs in 1999 and after a a couple years  of making bags, I was selling in boutiques in London, Paris, New York, Chicago, Denver, and San Diego. I semi-retired from making bags to start Fashion Denver and to help dreamers become doers. Now, here we are 13 years after I started my bag business, and I’m making bags again! I don’t have big plans to expand like the way my handbag business had once been, but instead I am focussing on custom designed and one of a kind bags.

With the holidays right around the corner, now is the perfect time to order a custom designed bag for the women or men in your life! Yes, I make Man Bags!
