You feel them staring at you. You hear them whispering as you walk through the room. Beads of sweat start rolling down your back.
Are they plotting against your BeDazzled sweater? Your knitted, patchouli-scented hat?
Yes, and we’re sorry. There is a conspiracy afoot. Tomorrow marks the opening of Conspiracy Showroom and the day the Craft Mafia (and some rather talented Brooklynites) mounts a coup against all the hideous handmade goods that give crafting a bad rap.
Drop the hot glue gun and fugly appliques. (And do not mention knitting.) The rebels will be offering garments by Suzie Morris, jewelry by Typhaney B, screen-print tees and chunky watches by Ladies Auxiliary Club, and handbags from Angela Ricci.
Not to mention countless creations by Brooklyn-based designers Cinderloop and Nabi Design and champagne — courtesy of the fridge (not just tomorrow but every freakin’ day).
In no time, you’ll be part of the resistance yourself.
If you ever get out of the dressing room, that is.
Conspiracy Showroom, 910 North Second Street (215-925-2153 or conspiracyshowroom.com).
