Let's see where this goes......

Ca Va is a new project of mine that I am very excited to be doing.  I've always loved the concept of a "Pop-Up Shop" and so that is what I am doing with Ca Va.

So what will you find at Ca Va (pronounced "Saa - Va")?  Definitely not your typical Frenchy Frou Frou stuff.  Don't get me wrong, I do dig the Frou Frou stuff but that's not entirely me.  I'm very influenced by French New Wave films like "A Bout de Souffle" and "Lola" but I also love "Amelie" and the whole French cafe/street market feel.  So while I will be catering to the more Frou Frou side, I will also be doing my best to bring in 50's & 60's French nostalgia through art, fashion publications, and anything else I can get my hands on.  I'm also huge on French food, naturally, so I will have as many kitchen items as I can source. 

My first sale will be at the Irvine Flea Market on July 7th and I have a pretty decent collection of items to bring.  I'll leave you with some essential Gainsbourg.  Thanks for reading.
