I mentioned a ways back that we're moving the shop. We'll still be doing the same flowers and soaps, just in an improved arena. One that has a real sink. And 20th century electrical wiring. And does not smell on hot summer mornings like cat piss....I digress...

The new Saipua is going to be around the corner from our current spot in Red Hook. We are insanely lucky to be friends with one of the dopest architects in the city; Jeremy B. of TACKLEBOX. {of Phillip Lim flagship fame.} Every time I talk about the project with people I get so excited and proud to have Jeremy working on this with us. He is especially good with texture. He found several salvaged barns. Now, he's working with Eric around the clock to fashion this barn siding into a new home for us.

In the beginning, several months ago we all sat down together and Jeremy told me everything about Saipua that I never could put into words or think about. It was like having my fortune read! Architecture! Who knew? I'm so excited to start sharing some of this with ya'll...I'm going to post pictures of the progress soon...
