Thriftopia Trends - Thrift Shopping

For those of you who don't know, the team here at AMB3R are big fans of thrift store shopping! We enjoy picking a new vintage store every week to scour for market research and for our personal use. This past weekend was Thriftopia, a collection of vintage and old school streetwear vendors catering to the fashion masses of Denver.

Hosted at Milk Market, it was a cool influx of style makers and fashion curators from all over Colorado. Our digital content producer Kevin spotted the use of statement pieces with personal flare , a unique marker for each individual and a sea of fashion expressiveness. Not to mention some nostalgic t-shirts and hats from pop-culture of the days passed.

Check out the street style below from the attendees and share the vintage trends that inspire your daily style.

2019 Fall Fashion Trends

As you may have noticed, vintage fashion is back. In fact, looks from the 80's and 90’s have been in style for years now and according to New York Fashion Week, these trends are here to stay. So you may be wondering, what are the trends this coming fall? Well, we’ve got the scoop for you!

TINY BAGS

The perfect accessory for a night out with the girls. Tiny purses are a great staple piece because they don’t distract from your outfit, while still being able to fit your phone and a lip gloss. Both fashionable and functional!

AMB3R Creative: The Process From Start to Finish

While starting a new project can seem overwhelming at times, it’s our job to reassure you that at AMB3R, we make things as smooth and as seamless as possible. Our company specializes in custom design (we understand that not everyone enjoys creating logos. etc), so we’re here to help guide you through this process. The first step towards starting your project with AMB3R Creative is to submit a ‘start project’ form on our website. The project form will provide us with information such as your company name, number of items needed, your budget, contact information and the date you need your final products by.

The overview of your project will look a little something like this:

When working with AMB3R, you’ll be provided the opportunity to work with a professional graphic designer if needed. Our in-house designer will spend extra time working with you to make sure your product design comes out perfectly. Let’s say for example that you’ve created your own custom line of spirits, but you have no idea what you want your bottle and label to look like. This is where we come in to help. We can provide you with examples of previous work we’ve done, while also giving you helpful suggestions as to what colors and fonts look best for your product. Sketches of ideas and various designs will then be created. Think of this as a rough draft of what your end design will look like. Not yet perfected, but definitely a good start. What starts as a simple sketch on a paper book, then turns into a graphic design on the computer. Sketches by hand allow for the designer to make quick and easy changes without having to go into the computer to change the image. Once the image has been given the go ahead, the designer will then transfer that image to the computer where more details will be added. 

We will then consult with you on what type of screen printing, threading, stamps, private labels or specialty inks you want to include on your product label. Once decided, we will go ahead and apply those choices to the overall design. The before and after of this process can be viewed below:

Now to the exciting part - Once your design has been finished and approved, we will send the image and product details to production. The print house will both print and ship all your products directly to you. Your final result may look a little something like this:

At AMB3R, we understand that the idea of creating a new line of products for your company can quickly become overwhelming. That’s why we try our best to make sure every step of the process is extremely clear and straightforward. We don’t move on to the next step of a project before making sure you’re satisfied with each change made to the design beforehand. Next time you’re interested in changing up your logo or creating holiday pullovers for your company, we hope you think of us.
