now showing....

Introducing three of our new styles.....

Stage left is the CoCo Slip. Originally designed as a piece to layer with other styles, this have evolved as a dress in it's own right. Layers of raw hemmed loveliness.

Middle is the Terell Dress so named after one of our lovely Mums ( Dannis) A beautiful ruffled layered collar and the most superb shape to the back.

And to the right is the Jennie Dress, this time named after my Mum. Button down front to double as a jacket, touch of raw hemming and stunning pleated detail.

Just three of our new pieces but stay tuned to this channel - there are loads more to come. In stores in 8 short weeks. Tell us what you think X

its all in the detail.....

We had an amazing time at Life in Style and were truly overwhelmed with the response we had from retailers wanting to stock Tickets for CoCo. We meet some fabulous people with some fabulous stores including the lovely Diana from Design and Detail in Jindabyne. One look at the antlers in the shop window and we were sold! 

Here are some images of her shop from her great new website....

adelaide really matters!

You know we love Adelaide but heres one more reason for our affections....We were thrilled to be featured in Adelaide Matters last week. We had the photos taken on our last visit during a Magnolia Square at Norwood in conjunction with a lovely boutique on The Parade, Aqua.  Aqua  Boutique stocks a range of our clothing as well as jewelry from Type Key. 

We look forward to our next SA visit!

i see your true colours....

Continuing on with the rainbow/raincoat theme; now is a good time to let you know that we are getting close to launching our new season colours. You asked for more......and we have certainly answered the call! Now you can have 7 of your fav dress - one for everyday of the week!

In keeping with Tickets for CoCo style the 2011 colour palette is muted, soft and neutrally toned. Sage, thistle and smoke join our tried and true favs of vanilla, putty and of course black. 

                         

neutral green tones in sage and olive

gorgeous girly thistle

The new collection will be shown at Life in Style in 3 weeks and be in stores in about 10 weeks.

a river of raincoats....

one of my favourite lines from this gorgeous song...nothing to do with fashion except that it is beautiful.....enjoy your weekend and enjoy this glorious tune......

down the laneway......

before we even begun on this journey into the world of fashion and frocks we did all the usual ( and boring) things......wrote the business plan ( haven't stuck to it), forecasted a budget ( nope, haven't stuck to that either) and profiled our perfect wholesale customer. That part we did stick to...and firm. It is so important to us to have our pieces in the right places so we put a lot of thought into where our collection best fits. The profile went something like this....must stock like-minded labels, must be supportive of  Australian design, must of course be divine looking and well-branded  and last but certainly not last must be easy to deal with. 

How lucky we are to have found so many stockists who fit that description so well. Its hard not to have favs buuuuut if we did, Laneway would be right in there at the front of the line. A beautiful looking shop, inviting and charming in equal measure; a gorgeous range of labels all complimentive of each other and a team of staff like no other. They are just so damn NICE!! And creative...check out the amazing illustrated sign that the lovely Liza has created....superb!

Look at that amazing bit of signage! Couldn't have done it better ourselves!

we lurve the ornate mirror.

a beautiful space...

the beautiful ava dress; a fav at Laneway

yummy bits and pieces from type key

flooded with fashion......

We joined the world in despair as we watched the horrific happenings in Queensland of late. Thankfully our close family and friends in flood affected areas were spared and apart from a huge mess, they are all doing okay. Obviously there are so many people that didn't get off so lightly...some losing everything, some losing life. No-one having witnessed such tragedy will ever be the same. 

If you haven't given to the flood relief, but would love a new frock...here's how you can kill two birds! Simply purchase anything online this week and we will donate 50% of your purchase to the QLD flood relief. If you are a Queenslander we will throw in free postage just to sweeten the deal...think of it as a virtual hug XXX

thinking of you QLD X

book in a visit....

Well we knew the postie delivered the Life in Style booklets today as the phone has been running hot! Lots of gorgeous boutiques across Australia calling to discuss getting Tickets for CoCo in store.

From Rockhampton to Noosa the enquiries ( and orders) just keep coming! Great news for customers who will soon find it much easier to get their hands on some CoCo yumminess. For stockists, be sure to be in touch soon to make your appointment at Life in Style so we can talk you through the range. We look forward to meeting you soon with our superb new collection....watch this space for more news on that! ( and never fear our current collection isn't going anywhere!)

In the meantime you can read our Life in Style interview here.....

tickets at the bay.....

Byron Bay that is! And how we long to be at such a gorgeous place at this time of the year. The next best thing though is knowing that some of our clothing is there in the super stylish store Enzo and Toto. 

Enzo and Toto opened with  one main goal - to celebrate the originality of young emerging Australian designers. Owner Annick, believes that in contrast to European designers, Australian fashion design is inextricably linked with our unique natural environment and less formal lifestyle. Annick chooses labels that steer clear of mass production and those that are not fixated on generic fast changing fashion...a bill we definitely fit!

It is such a pleasure to be in such a gorgeous store with a reputation for carrying only the very finest labels Australia has to offer.

tis the season.......

What a year! We are so grateful to all our loyal customers, friends and families for their support whilst we have literally turned a pipe dream into a reality. We can still hardly believe that Tickets for CoCo is now so much more then a thought in our heads. 

We will be taking some down time with our children and hubby's over the Christmas break but there will be no official shut down so orders will continue to go out as normal...speaking of which...what are you wearing to your New Years Party???

Thank-you again and we wish you and your families all a wonderful Christmas and a 2011 full of dreams that come true!

bunker down....

Look at this amazing little retail space! We thought we would like The Bunker when we meet the super stylish owners but now we know we love it! So aptly named!

It is a great joy when great people with a great store choose to carry our label and such is definitely the case with The Bunker. When next in Brisbane we will be making it a priority to delve into this little nook and wade through the treasures...Tickets for CoCo looks so at home here!

Pop in if you are in Brissy..Camp Hill to be exact or phone Jordan 07 33988830 for any info.

Thank-you Adelaide

Two very tired bunnies are home again and ready for bed! What a fabulous time we had in Adelaide.....but what a journey!

It began with a dingy hotel room the size of a dog kennel and a wardrobe fit only for Kate Moss...eg 2cm wide. With sore feet from the hideous long '5 min' walk to the train station and ravenous bellies we sought a decent meal. What we found was a vending machine. Thank goodness for the i-pad which helped us to pizza and chocolate moose delivery. Pizza arrived...horrible. Mousse arrived...no spoon. By now we could only laugh as we scooped mousse with our fingers!

The next hotel looked a lot better but the we were back to square one after finding the bathroom had become a swimming pool over night! Despite a few 'issues' we laughed ourselves silly and had a fantastic time meeting the Norwood shoppers.

Delirious 

Opening hours at Norwood

Beautifully styled Mag Square

A glimpse of our display

We love that the folk of Adelaide seem to really 'get' us! They loved the style and we loved theirs! Thank-you for your support and see you again next year!

here kitty, kitty......

Imagine a wardrobe piece that never fails....winter, spring, summer or autumn, with jeans, leggings or on it's own. A piece that always works and flatters in all the right places. Imagine that??? Enter the Kitty. One of our tried and tested wardrobe staples that you will wonder how you did without.

Available in vanilla ( our new obsession), Putty and our gorgeous summer green in size free. Pick one up at Magnolia Square this week or purchase online in time for the Chrissy party....Dannis personal favorite X

next stop......Adelaide....

People of Adelaide; listen up! Magnolia Square is heading your way with Tickets for CoCo on board. 

Our first visit to SA was earlier in the year and what a show! We were blown away with the response to the range and sold out of several lines on the first day. We have packed more this time so no fear of that happening again with loads of new yummy pieces.

We would LOVE to meet you so please come along to the charming Norwood Town Hall , say hi and try on a frock or two! In the meantime read up on our interview on the Magnolia Square blog......

mad for mongolian....

Magnolia Lamb Vest in grey 

Grey and Black - yummy!!

If you know us you will know we just lurve yummy textures. A stud here, some lace there and lots of feathers everywhere ....but mongolian lamb fur takes things to a whole new level.  Softer than soft;  these scrumptious vests just beg to be touched. 

We will have the first offerings at Magnolia Square in Adelaide next week and then St Kilda the week after. If you can't make it to the fair but are desperate to get your hands on one, contact us and we will get one to you pronto.
