The Katacomb Website is up!

Check out The Katacomb's website @ www.thekatacomb.com : Each day I will post a different piece from The Katacomb collection to be sold on my Etsy account. Please feel free to email me (brooke@thekatacomb.com) if you have any further questions about the One and Done or the pieces that get put up for sale. Enjoy!

Daily Candy visits The Katacomb

After getting back from LA last week from an extremely successful buying trip (Valentino and Chanel, just to name a couple of the 30 + new beautiful and unique pieces that have been added to the racks), and going right into an all day photo shoot with some of my favorite girls, I got some great news! The Daily Candy editor wanted to come in and take a peek around The Katacomb. Here is the link to take a look at The Katacomb featured today on the site. And they also used a picture taken of one area of The Katacomb by my really talented and beautiful friend Sarah Jean Berry.

The website has taken longer than expected due to me being very particular, but I'm hoping for it to be up this week. Fingers are crossed... It will have a feature on the site that I will put up one item from the collection each day and sell it off. Once it is sold, that's it for the day. The next item will be posted the next day. It's called the One and Done.

Stay tuned :)

www.thekatacomb.com ~ Coming this week~

Thank-you all for following The Katacomb blog in its early days. I apologize for not posting more or really at all... but I don't want to post just to hear myself or I mean... read myself in eblogger world and waste anybody's time, but only for when I have something of quality and new to say to my peeps about The Katacomb: Vintage. So thanks for being loyal and it would be really cool to pass on the info about The Katacomb to get people in the know of the fabulous life or at least fabulous vintage clothing, handbags, jewelry, accessories, and etc that I find and put into my beautiful showroom. Did I mention, when you come to The Katacomb you have your own private appointment with me, your stylist, and I will help you shop through the collection for beautiful and unique pieces to add to your wardrobe at all price points. However, I have been working like crazy with my publicist to get The Katacomb and myself ready for a press party which will be hosted at The Kat on Wednesday, July 14th. A private press hour from 5:30pm-6:30pm, and then a VIP party for my guests from 6:30pm-8:30pm. If you haven't already, please private message me over this my email brooke@thekatacomb.com or facebook your email and real address so I can make sure you get an invitation to the event. Right now, my publicist and I are planning an amazing event (celebrity dj, veuve, semi-private tours of The Katacomb, a give-a-way, KatSwagBags, and much more) you won't want to miss this event! Stay tuned for more details :) The website will be finished this week (the only thing that will not be working is the lookbook which will be working by the end June). A bunch of my beautiful and talented friends are coming together to work on a beautiful and unique lookbook for The Kat. A really great feature that will be part of the website is the "One and Done'. Each day I will upload an item from the showroom or from my private stash to be sold off my website at a percentage off from the showroom quote. I'll keep ya posted! Have a great week! And clear your calender for Wednesday July 14 from 6 on :) B. Dillon

New design project

So about two nights ago as I was awake at 2:30 as usual for about 2 hours. I was first thinking about what to say to my extremely rude landlord over a very annoying situation... and then I got to a little inspiration thinking... Nothing I can really talk about now, since I am in the beginning process of the design, but I'm sure it will become a favorite of yours. Stay posted. Also this weekend my very good friend Sarah Berry, sarahberryphoto.com, came over to hang out and do some photography of a good amount of the stuff here at the Katacomb. In about two weeks, I will be posting one piece a day on my website www.thekatacomb.com to be sold, ONE and DONE. She is also displaying some of her art work here. She focuses on the power and sexuality in the femininity of the woman. Very inspiring and beautiful. Please check out her website to see her stuff. She is also available to do commission pieces. She has done one of me and is finishing up the piece very soon. I'm very excited to see it! I might share it on my blog... Not sure yet... She uses photography and mixed media art (wax and paint over her photography). Very feminine and beautiful.

Things are coming together...

Tomorrow my friend Sarah will be coming over to take pictures of all of the pieces here at the Katacomb. This is really exciting because we will be able to start the One and Done on the website thekatacomb.com. One and Done is a little way to see a bit of The Katacomb collection each day. In the morning I will post an item from the showroom. At that time you can buy it if you love it or wait for the next day's piece. I hoping this feature will be up in about 2 weeks. Enjoy the weather peeps.

Welcome to The Katacomb Blog

Hello and welcome to The Katacomb Blog. Please read the profile that I posted on the side to get an idea of the concept of The Katacomb. To briefly reiterate, The Katacomb is a collection of beautiful one-of-a-kind pieces that I have found all over the world. I have been really excited to share with you all what I have been putting together over the last year. Some final details are still being taken care of, but for the most part The Katacomb is ready for you to visit. When you book an appointment with me in The Katacomb (at that time I will release the private Rittenhouse location of The Katacomb), I'll provide you with my personal styling service as well as a private place for you to shop at your leisure. I also encourage you to try on every piece I have. Since I usually have a wait list, please be courteous if you can't make your appointment and need to reschedule, and give me at least a 24 hour notice which would be greatly appreciated. Below I have included some more details that will be helpful to you for your appointment. I'm always brewing La Colombe coffee, tea and have a freshly brewed pitcher of ice tea ready. Wine and/or cocktails are always welcome and I have been know to pop a bottle of Veuve after a successful visit to The Katacomb.

Please allow for the appointment to last around 2 hours. I do prefer to keep appointments to 1-3 clients. So if you want to come alone, that is wonderful and if you want to bring a friend or two, that is wonderful too. I like to keep it small so I can focus on my clients needs and wants. Also, since most of what I have is vintage, we may need to fit the garment to you for the perfect fit. I have a master tailor who is wonderful and gets the alterations done very quickly for me, so don't worry about waiting too long for your new fabulous addition to your wardrobe. Everything in the Katacomb has been hand selected by me, organically dry-cleaned and will be fitted to perfection for you. I encourage my clients to come to the Katacomb as if they were going on a date. Clothing always looks better when you have your hair done and face on. Also, please wear either a plain black or white shirt, bring or wear your favorite jeans/pants/leggings and your favorite heels. Having these items makes it helpful to see the whole picture. I look forward to meeting you for your private appointment at The Katacomb. Please email or call me to set up your appointment.
