Recap: Moruka Designs Summer 2013 Trunk Show



Dress: Mandee
Shoes: Nine West, Thrifted
Earrings and bracelet: Forever 21

This past Saturday August 10th, 2013 I had my very first trunk show for Moruka Designs Handbags at AK Couture Boutique and Beauty Bar in Brooklyn, NY.  I wanted a bright yet neutral look with some contrast so I went for this bright yellow empire dress, brown and green wedges, and gold accessories. I did my signature side sweep for the hair and neutral makeup using Bare Minerals as the foundation.

I did not know what to expect but did lots of advertising and gave it the 'ole college try. I totally forgot to take pics of the food(how could I forget that?) but I had wine, cheese, crackers, fruit and water. I wasn't nervous once the event actually started. The four hours went by fairly quickly.

I featured my Spring/Summer purses and wallets. There was a mix of my clients as well as AK Couture clients who wanted to get them some Moruka Designs digs. This bad boy was the star of the show. I sold out almost immediately on the two I had in this style.

Also both purses from this post sold out:

And these as well as some others that I was not able to take photos of.

I had fun interacting with all my customers. What I love the most is the feedback and about how much they liked the purses but I also enjoyed listening to their personal preferences/opinions. The turnout was great and I'm very happy with the overall result.
