Luxirare E-shop
A good handful of you might have picked up on the fact that I’ve been working on this E-shop. It was supposed to launch much earlier but several things happened that forced me to delay it. I’m glad I can finally share what I have been working on with my readers and I just want to thank everyone for the continued support. It’s been a rough 5 months and I’m glad I can finally breathe a little bit.
There are two different sections in the shop, the ‘Luxirare’ section and the ‘vintage section’. One of the main reasons for having two is that my section of the shop is still very sparse. In starting the shop I wanted more of a foundation to load items for the future, so this is all just the beginning. I have a few designs up at the moment but most of what I design for “luxirare.com” will end up on “shopluxirare.com”, so eventually there will be more to choose from. I am trying to figure out the best way to do production, for now everything is being produced in my studio save for the bracelet I’m featuring in this post..Its tough to navigate production facilities not only in New York but overseas so I’m taking all of this very slowly. The vintage section of the shop will feature some clothes I’ve collected by other designers (they have already been featured on this blog) mixed in with some everyday pieces. I wanted this section in order to add more of a range of items, so that everyone who is shopping can find something they can relate to.
Another thing I wanted to note was the price range. You’ll see items priced from $45 to $2000. I didn’t want to have this “set” standard of pricing. For most of us, price has nothing to do with luxury or what it means when something is truly luxurious. I have written about this before in my manifesto.
One of the first bracelet designs I will be featuring in the shop pictured below…If you’ve been reading my blog for some time now, you’ll remember I posted this bracelet way back when in the imagefeed section of my blog. Well the design was in the works even 6 months before that when I sent out the first spec-sheet for the bracelet to the production facility. I have this thing about wearing stacked bangles and bracelets. The only problem with them is that they constantly fall down to your wrist and move around…what I wanted was that look of stacks and bands floating lightly on your wrist in one piece, without the discomfort. Kind of like debt consolidation! The bracelets can be worn several different ways, both casually and dressed up.
Without further ado, here it is…LUXIRARE’S E-SHOP. I hope you guys enjoy it.
brilliant! Congrats on getting the shop up!
My sentiments exactly on the stacked bracelets. Nice piece.
FINALLY! So bloody excited about this – good for you! Saving my pennies for the Nude Moto Jacket if you’re doing a repro!
Congratulations! I will definately be looking xo
i like most of the shoes. and the pricing is okay on them too. but they’re SIZE FIVE!~ and im 8-9. damn… congrats btw.
Great job, seriously. Keep up all the good work (and take your time! no need to rush – quality over quantity
)
Just incredible. Waouh.
The selection of the goods in the shop are very fine, i love it so much! i want to buy EVERYTHING…!!
Congrats! I’m so happy is finally here, a post a week has become not enough to satisfy my luxirare cravings x
oh my goodness – it is all so unbelievably lovely, i have no words.
if i could afford any of it, i would feel like the luckiest person alive…and i know that you have dramatically slashed the pricing, which is lovely and extremely generous, but unfortunately the vast majority is out of my price range.
but that does not stop me from admiring and applauding your enormous efforts.
your sense of aesthetics is almost holy. i congratulate you.
man i love your packaging and presentation. you’re totally killing it. i’m also happy to see the bracelet in action! been waiting to see it being worn since seeing it on your imagefeed!
Amazing. I can’t wait to see what else you come up with! I love the bracelet. Might have to purchase one soon
Congratulations and keep up with the effort.
I am so excited about your e-shop! I have been an avid reader for a year or so now and I always have wanted to be able to purchase some of the things you make.
Congrats on the new shop! I love the bracelet. x
I love the shop and the bracelet looks amazing! Can’t wait for more ^^ It would be nice to have an email notification whenever there are new things in
By the way I’d like to ask since the YSL tribute are in size 35 and most of the other shoes are 36, do they fit the same?
OMG!! This is HUGE!! Congratulations Luxirare!! I am so happy for you!!
It looks great! Love the amazing quality of the pictures! Things are already getting sold out yay!
Thank you so much for creating this shop.
I love the stuff you do regularly around your blog and it’s great that the readers can now have a little piece of it!
I love it!! Congratulations!
Upon seeing this post in my feed on bloglovin I became super excited. I am a constant reader and have been waiting for you to put up your eshop anxiously! The selection is great and I bought your white Chanel bag
Ah, how exciting! I now know what I want for my birthday…
what is the return policy?
Yesss! I bought something small, I just wanted to try it out… in the future when I have a steady job you can count on me being a repeat customer for your lovely designs. Many thanks.
Just bought 2 items! SUPER excited to see the packaging they will come in
And I love that the prices vary so much… the items all speak for themselves, not for one set demographic or price range!
Yay! I can’t really afford anything right now, but I’m going to place an order for the bracelet anyway, it’s fantastic!
It seems like a great way to continue supporting your efforts.
When I’m less broke, I’m going to order a second one ala superhero arm braces. XD
*stops eating to save money for the launch*
This is awesome! I would do anything to have size 6 feet right now . . . : (
OH MT GOD I JUST HAD A HEART ATTACK!! So excited, thank you so much for all this and all your hard work that has gone into this blog during your rougher times. You have been such a great inspiration and seeing your online shop just made my dreams come true!!!!
where can i get another one of those beautiful fur tails?! love the bracelet
Grats on the shop. Well done.
you are amazing! i truly admire all your designs, your way of thinking… you have a strong and coherent universe and that inspire me!
Great shop (and blog)!! Well done!
Love your work and so happy about this webshop!
Unfortunately for me I live in Norway, and I have to add 25% on amounts over $33 on everything that ships from other countries.
But that just means I have to start saving my pennies:)
Love the selection (and the fact that your shoes are my size!) and can´t wait to see more!
How exciting! Gorgeous stuff–love the bracelet especially! Glad things are going better for you.
Wow I’m in love with the interface it’s the cleanest one I’ve seen next to Google
Did you do the design yourself? If so great job!
Everything from the logo, to the layout to the clothes is very clean cut, minimalist, and original!
Your eshop beats department stores’ million dollar ecommerce sites!
I’m a big black and white person (as far as color preferences) and you’re an inspiration to me.
fantastic shop! i actually tried to buy the tributes.. and my invoice came in but with a negative amount. not sure what to do now. i couldn’t reply to the email the invoice came from.. so i fwd’d it to your other email.
Congratulations on your new venture! I can’t wait to see what else you’ll be coming up with!
I am having trouble emailing you, twice I have gotten an undelivered mail return to sender notification so if you could email me at my personal email (ashleylmania@gmail.com) I am having trouble with the paypal link in order to pay for my purchase. Thanks.
Hi Ashley,
The e-mail is working fine now. Try again, customerservice@shopluxirare.com
Yesterday I had some problems accessing the e-mail but its all fixed.
The shop looks damn good. Congratulations on opening a new business. I’m sure it will turn out to be quite worth the effort.
YAY! glad things are working out for you now. Would expect nothing less than the best from you
You are undoubtedly the master of branding and packaging. I’m sure you will take production by the reigns and churn out endless more amazing things for us to finally be able to snatch up!
congratulations…colby says nice work..beautiful.

Hey I’m so glad you debuted the ESHOP! i’ve been waiting for this for a long time. I also wanted to ask a question that is unrelated to this post..I’m a first year college student totally confused with what I’m doing. I am a studying Fine arts at NYU and just STUCK if i should continue or double major in business, comm etc. I was just really curious what you studied in school and if it helped you get to where you are today. I’m sure there isn’t a direct path to any career or goal, but it would be awesome to hear what you think about the education+work correlation/practicality or anything related to what I’m thinking about. Thanks!
@ Hilary–That’s a loaded question, I will have to respond via e-mail when I have time!
Congrats! I can’t wait to see what you come up with!! <3
Now I can spend more time on this site… great.
Haha, just kidding.
I like the new format though I liked the previous format more. Not so sure about the only caps letters. Makes me feel like we’re all yelling. I keep reading the posts in a yelling voice in my head. Pretty weird.
@ E — I tend to enjoy the all caps for some reason.
congratulations on the new store!
i think that in regards to your luxirare products, i don’t feel you have to mass-produce or make them in every size. you could just make a few pieces or do a one-off. some of the most amazing things aren’t mass-produced (ie couture & art!). so i don’t think you should feel pressurised to do so… but i guess it’s still something to consider in the future.
Luxi I’m STOKED! Going to check it out right now. Can’t wait!

Endless Nights
Find it wonderful, super stylish and looks to us the incredible mixes.
An amazing discovery, you lose no attachment to your own publication. Greetings from Barcelona
This is fabulous news! I have been waiting for your e-shop to come out ever since I saw you mention it. Will definitely be buying from you in the future.
I linked this in my weekly wrapup.

Thanks so much Hana
**SO COOOL**
Just have a look and enjoy!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0P0qATj45qU
Congratulations! I`m quietly following you for a couple of months and I`m sure this this the best blog. The effort you put in it is visible..the photos are amazing and very professional…you just took the stakes higher. I hope you`ll be around for a very long time and hopefully people will really appreciate your work as they should, because “the final product” is better than most online fashion magazines publish or any other sort of similar blog that I`ve seen until now.
This is very exciting! Can’t wait to see your designs up for sale…

Well done!!! I just wish you had bigger feet …..maybe I need to chop off some toes to squeeze into the shoes!
Continued good luck and success
YES! I have been hoping over a year that you would start to sell some of your creations! Is there any way I can subscribe so that I can hear when you add things asap? That would make me a very happy womyn.
Also – Where can I buy some of those rings?!
Oh, great! Good luck for your business – and I’m extremely delighted about the price range.
The new cuff is great, I especially love it worn in both forearm and upper arm. Hope you get it to production soon!
The new all caps text is pretty heavy to read, btw.
All of these pieces are so special. The bag is my favorite piece. Lovely
your store is sick!! the design is amazing! your images are easily viewable and the whole thing loads fast. it is very easy to navigate. sometimes stores can be frustrating and yours is far from it.
man, everything you do is amazing! everything you make is amazing!
i strive to be like you some day. you are a great inspiration.
that cuff is my favorite♥
this is such a great blog!!! each and every blog is breathtaking!!!

if I ever become famous and have the occasion to walk down a red carpet at a movie premiere, I want you to design ALL my clothes, all of them!
Congratulations!
The packaging if so beautiful and thoughtful, as usual.
Keep up the amazing work!

You just for your insight…. The bangles shown in the beginning of the photos, the ones that have the arms covered are actually an influence from Indian ethnicity. If you happen to look at pictures of Rajisthani women, they have these big, huge white bangles that start from the wrist and go up to the arms… I guess most of you might not understand what I am referring too but I was in shock where the influences come from when it comes to fashion. Great job… Totally psyched about the e-shop.
Because your style and fashion choices are impeccable, your store can only be amazing! I am so exited,that you are bringing your sense of style and sharing with the main stream. Congratulations!! I wish you the best. Thank you for all of your blog posts. I look forward to reading them daily.
Your shop is fantastic!
i love all of the stuff on here as well, you have a new fan!
xx
I just wanted to say that you’re fantastic. :>
