I’m taking a moment between coats of paint to remind you that Popicoq is reopening TOMORROW… Hooray!
I’d like to say I’ve been on holiday all month, but that would be far from true.
There’s been lots of costume work and some major sorting of my workshop.
But I did manage a couple of lovely trips away… including a week in Paris, where I started putting together Popicoq’s Autumn collection.
I found some special pieces in beautiful rich jewel colours and gorgeous textures, ready to layer up and keep you cosy as well as stylish through the chillier months.
It feels a bit odd hanging up knitwear when we’re barely out of the heatwave, but the skies are a-changing… and I’m so ready to move on.
Much as I’ve loved the colourful prints of summer, it felt good to pack them away and make room for Autumn.
I finished my costume work yesterday, so last night was my first chance to freshen up the walls as well as the rails.
The shop has a lovely new colour — and I’m hoping to get the changing room painted tonight too!
Do drop by tomorrow, see what I’ve done with the place, tell me your summer stories and enjoy all the beautiful new things…

Just maybe don’t lean on the walls! 🤪

As a petite « amuse-bouche » ahead of next weeks re-opening, join me tomorrow morning at Communa.
There will be GREAT coffee, DELICIOUS pain au chocolat and a pop up BROCANTE.
My perfect weekend morning !
Popicoq will be there with a typically eclectic mix of antique treasures, flea market finds and vintage nonsense.
I believe there will also be the marvelous Mitzi McNeil and Lesa Green .
Do drop by and say Bonjour!
I’ll even have a real life French girl with me 😎…it’s Maddie’s last morning in Frome before I whisk her off to Bristol airport.
We’d love to see you - and if you don’t know it already, you MUST discover Communa ♥️♥️♥️

(Thanks for the pitch Andy Harding )

This one is kicking back and taking time out from being too cool for school.
She may look like she’d rather be smoking Gauloises in a Rive Gauche café whilst judging passers by…but an inflatable flamingo will have to do.
I, on the other hand, very much enjoyed my week in Paris. I caught up with lovely Maddie and two of my best friends who I’ve not seen for trop longtemps ❤️
And of course I shopped for the shop.
It was decidedly difficile because I wanted to buy EVERYTHING !
Everywhere I looked there were beautiful deep jewell colours, gorgeous textures and lots of lovely layers.
I mean, it’s been a great summer and all that, but I’m kind of over it now.
Bring on the crispy days of Autumn and let me wear my boots again!
The New Collection will be revealed when I reopen in September.
Until then I’m afraid there’s work to be done - I’ll be in my workshop stitching a Radish Spirit….but more of that later.
Enjoy the last of your lazy, hazy crazy days of summer and see you in September

Be sure to drop in and see us on our last open day till September!
It’s the Frome Independent market…which can only mean one thing - Popicoq will be serving chilled bubbles to make your Sunday sparkle! 🥂☀️✨
The shop is bursting with everything you need to see out the summer - and it’s your last chance to grab the perfect outfit before I close the door until Wednesday 2nd September.
Be sure to drop in a say toodaloo …and don’t forget to take a tour of the goings on in the garden 😎
Looking forward to seeing you,

Just to remind you…
Popicoq is open till Sunday and then closed until Wednesday 2nd September.
So if there’s any chance you’ll be needing a beautiful light cotton block print dress, a strappy summer top, a statement scarf, a sparkly bag, a satin skirt, an antique silver heirloom, a gemstone talisman, a papier mâché monkey, a vintage paperweight, a French oil painting, a leather Obi belt, a metal peacock, some handmade earrings or a beaded terracotta head, do drop by 😜

A bit of housekeeping…
Popicoq has always been pleasingly, if perhaps a little confusingly, eclectic - with charming old knick-knacks sitting alongside new outfits from Paris, antique silver next to velvet coats made in India. 🤪
I regularly insist that I only sell new clothes, and then, just when you believe me, I pop up in the garden with a rail of vintage and a collection of theatrical costumes…
As much as these choices make perfect sense in my head, they actually belong to two different businesses.
So, in the interests of keeping everything neat and tidy, Popicoq will no longer be promoting my pop-up vintage clothing and costume sales.
Those adventures are moving over to Dulcie Best, where you’ll also find my work as a costume designer.
Admittedly there are also personal posts, but please indulge or ignore these!
Be sure to follow me there if you’re interested in knowing about my next vintage pop up, coming very soon…😎

Attention, s’il vous plaît!
In true French style, Popicoq will be taking some time out in August.
The shop will be open as usual up until Sunday Market day on August 2nd and will then close until Wednesday 2nd September.
Work commitments, family stuff and a little time away combine to make this a good idea, but I’m sorry if it causes any inconvenience.
Think of it as time for you to miss me 😜…and to wonder what I’ll have in store for September 🌺
(and incidentally ….in my 26 years there, when Paris shut shop for the month, I don’t remember the French ever apologizing! 😎🇫🇷)

So, for the next couple of weeks until market day it’s business as usual…and the shop is bursting with beautiful stock. Do come in and see me before my wee break.
