Le Voyageur

11 YEARS IN THE BLOGGING BUSINESS :)

I started this blog for fun in 2011....

This morning I checked some of its stats and it has had 28 555 views since then.

I was about to delete it but I changed my mind :) I'll let it be.

Life has been interesting: since then! My shop in the Lower Hight is actually closed since October 2021 and I moved literally everything online.

I'm inviting you to follow my adventure on Instagram (funny enough this blog was born before instagram)

@alineledemin 💖 

Should I start a brand new blog for Aline Lédémin or continue where I left this under a new name?

Later, xx Aline.

My first post on this blog in 2011 VS...

VS my website home page in 2022 ...

Love xx Aline Lédémin.

End of year 2015 ! The Perfect Cardigan is on Kickstarter !

Dear Friends

 I've been working on The Perfect Cardigan for the past few years and it combines my passion for play, fashion and human centered design into a product that enhances women's daily lives. I created  The Perfect Cardigan because it's not always sunny in San Francisco.

You can see our launch video here : http://kck.st/1HZi3zS

We launched The Perfect Cardigan on Kickstarter and already raised 17% of our funding goal with 26 more days to go! We still need your help to reach our funding goal !  

I’m asking you to please support The Perfect Cardigan, by contributing or sharing the project with your community, friends and family. It will tremendously help my campaign and would mean the world to me.

P.S. Please share if you care. Because sharing is caring. And caring is fun! 

Here's the video link again: http://kck.st/1HZi3zS 

We’d love to receive your support to reach our goal ! 

Thank you for showing some love. Big or small, your love will truly be appreciated. Looking forward to a successful campaign ! 

Happy New Year!

Merci,

Aline

101 New Year.

1, 2, 3...4 years Anniversary. The Celebration !

                  

I'm officially 4 years old ! I'll take the time to make more updates here and I'm super happy to start by sharing this exciting news and pictures of the 4 years anniverssary celebration that happened this weekend on Friday June 13th. It was a lot of fun for the hearts and minds to celebrate with family, friends clients, neighbors, familiar and new faces. To all of you, thanks for making Aline's Closet what it is now : to remain the cutest store in the Lower Haight is still what we aim for. Your big love, wisdom and huge support is making me feel quite small. ;) 

With all my love and passion I'm taking this opportunity to thank you. Merci and thank you for giving me the good feeling that we are still going strong, blooming bright and expanding within, colorfully growing happy ! It's amazing.

Whatever life offers to me I'm going to take it and make it happy and sunny, and however life can surprise me, I'm going to live it fully ! 1,2, 3,...4 years and not a single wrinkle at 101 Pierce St.! 

We're ready for more adventures! See you all again Wednesday trough Saturday, noon to 7pm.  Cheers!

Aline

Des valises à porter!

un voyage qui se prépare

 

les bagages qui donnent le départ

des billets achetés avec de l'argent

un rêve qui prend vie dedans

des valises à porter

un séjour qui sera un succès

un départ de gare en gare

le soleil qui donne le départ

des valises à porter

un été à s'endetter

un visa accordé

l'avion dans un autre pays est projecté

des valises à porter

un séjour tout orchestré

un voyage qui se prépare

les bagages qui donnent le départ

des billets achetés avec de l'argent

un rêve qui prend vie dedans

des valises à porter

une destination prête à nous emporter

un voyage qui se prépare

oublier qu'avec nous la vie est avare

des valises à porter

un séjour qui sera un succès

là ou le soleil est osé

un rêve qui prend vie dedans

un voyage qui se prépare

au départ d'un aéroport ou d'une gare

le solei qui saisit nos rêves

des valises à porter

un séjour tout orchestré

Best of the Bay

Everything is going fast at the moment and yesterday I received a very exciting news, the kind that stops time for a while : I've been selected by the San Francisco Bay Guardian as Best Dreamy Dressmaker of the Bay 2013.

I'm a very happy winner ! Honored and thankful to have been selected by the SFBG editors, in such an incredible shopping environment. Merci SFBG !

This is the 2013 Best of the Bay Winner's logo.

-Should I say another dream came true?

I could not believe my ears (first heard the news from a neighbor who came in and congratulate me ;) Then could not believe my eyes reading this here : http://www.sfbg.com/specials/best-bay-2013-editors-picks-shopping

Finally, went hunting for the newspaper itself and found on page 71 an article and even a picture! I'm so happy. Something is telling me this paper will travel far, all the way to France and Benin !

I'm also grateful to my growing team of seamstresses Olga and Vivian with who I'm making this happens: we are taking more orders everday making more people "dressed happy" in timeless handmade tailored pieces. As well, I'm taking this occasion to thank all my made to order clients.Your measurements are safe with me. 

Remember this : "my rack will rock SF." ?

This encourages me to continue making beautiful dreammy dresses and more more amazing fine little things that will be ready in your closet. I want dressing up to become an easy game again, so you can effortlessly look good and feel good. Everyday. Any occasion.

There is an exciting party coming up to celebrate with the SFBG team and all the Best of the Bay ! I just can't wait !

Best,

Aline

Alien wearing dots

I write my ideas and spontanious sketches on little "book notes" covered with wax, designed in Cotonou, Benin, west Africa. Another reason to keep them all after they are used, they are super pretty and eco chic and I can dig back into my ideas once in a while. I still enjoy the simplicity of handwriting. They are handmade with left over fabrics from taylors in Cotonou, so there is never left behind fabrics. I can even imagine matching my notebook with my scarf and that's an idea for everyone! Get yours at the store!
