What's up my peoples it is me C..... How is everyone doing? I hope today has found you well. It is freezing outside. NYC is sooo cold right now. Every night I tell myself I am going to the city to shop for textiles and then I watch the weather and say oooh nooo it is tooo cold. But I am going to be brave tomorrow and go. How do you shop for clothing, shoes, etc.? Well, when I shop for textiles for the new season I do a lot of research. I go and see what everyone has I walk and look at all the textile shops in the garment district. Then, I go home and revise all the great fabrics I saw. Finally, I go back to the city and pick up the very best textiles for my customers. We at samsara love our customers. We sew each garment with love and care,bring you the hottest designs each season, and at the most affordable price. Well wish me luck as I battle the cold. PEACE...C...

I would like your input because i am making this site to service your fashion needs. Hope to hear from you guys soon. PEACE.C...
Whats up my peoples, I am back in my old stomping grounds Brooklyn. It is good to be home, haven't checked out any of my fam yet still recuperating from the road trip up. Yo, it took forever, rode up with momz and the kids, but that's a whole other blog. I have mad stuff to do, I have to check out all the hot spots in the city, see what new, and find only the best new textiles to make this seasons clothing line. I got to go to Harlem to the African market to check out the new waxes from Nigeria and Holland. Let's see what else has been going on, oh yeah the website is still in the works and hopefully will be up in the earlier part of the new year. The website is going to be great you guys are going to love it. It is going to be easy to navigate and you will have access to all the Samsara Boutique designs. When we visit your city we only bring limited designs to showcase our work but, the website will have everything. The website will have our famous reconstrusted t-shirt designs, African designs, Hats, Bags, Jewelry and our new exclusive limited run t-shirts. And remember the items are all handmade by yours truly C.. and Drigo, the samsara family. Yo, my peoples, it is going to be 2009, new year, new prez, i don't know about you but this year is my year to take it to the next level. I have a lot of plans but, i can't let it all out just yet. A good poker player always knows when to show her cards, to win the game.. I am officially naming 2009 "the year of the grind". Get your grind on to accomplish all the things you been bull sh*tting. OK my peoples I will check in soon PEACE C...
We at samsara are working hard to bring you the best everyday. Today was very low key, I home schooled my eldest daughter and took a break. I guess you can call this a personal day. We were brainstorming about putting up an etsy page until the website is done. I am soooo excited about the website. It has been a long time coming, we spoke to mad people in the past but nothing came of it. But I have a real good feeling about it this time, I think it is going to happen and soon. I can't wait to have a direct link to my customers, a more personal cyberspace relationship( if there is such a thing :)) . I want to thank all the people who ever support Samsara Boutique. And I am not only talking about money, even though it is appreciated, but the people who understand us and love what we do. From the first customer, April yeah i remember you girl, we had at our boutique to you reading this blog right now. THANKS.....PEACE C...
What's up people this is your girl C... from Samsara Boutique welcome to our blog. For those who don't know we started this thing of ours in march 2003. We opened a boutique in North Florida June 2004while attending FSU (Go Noles). We carried our fabulous designs, hot T-shirt lines, funky accessories and the coolest sneakers. Samsara became known as " The Spot", customers would make their friends swear not to tell anyone about The Boutique. Check out some of our earlier collections.
