This Second Saturday!! Please visit us & our friends for art + fun!

Meet The Fabric Lab Pop-Up Store on Wheels!!

We are excited that we actually have the truck thanks to our amaaazing  Anonymous donator and she bought the truck for us! We wish we can scream her name out so you all know what an awesome and inspirational person she is, but we can’t right now…..

We took a fun road trip to Colorado Springs where the truck was and wow, it’s been awhile since we have been to CS, a whole new world for sure! We went with our fave person in the world Mike co-owner of DVLP Clothing and a master mechanic to make sure we were making the right decision… and it was! The truck runs but needs a lot of TLC to get it to code mechanically, other than that it is all cosmetic! It will take us a minute to get her the way we want it….we are trying to raise & save the money to get her fixed and shiny to hit the road!

If you can please vote for us for the YESPLEASEMORE Grant it would help us out tremendously!

Here are the before pics!

Yes, your not seeing things! Those are the rims….they came with the truck! That’s what sold us! These rims are the soul of the truck!

Here is Mike Co-Owner of DVLP Clothing & our mechanic extraordinaire having some fun!!! LOL! He is soo rad!

The Fabric Lab Pop Up Store on Wheels….

YES! you read that right!

Josh and I would love to open a Fabric Lab Pop-Up Store on Wheels. Drive around Denver with the wind blowing in our hair making stops at craft, art, and music events. Slinging everything from locally made clothing, jewelry, accessories, local music, and art to ice cream, fun novelty kitschy candies, toys, and art & design books/mags. We will also host our DIY button making workshops, guerrilla fashion shows  and improv dance parties!
