New Website

Hi all

You will know from a previous post that we have had to find a new web host and new eCommerce shop and that we've had real problems with the company we thought would provide the service.

Well, we are really pleased to announce that we have a beautiful new website:
www.pure-tinctoria.co.uk which has been provided by a really helpful company, iWebshop.  We had a slight hiccup over the week end, as the Paypal Express Checkout wouldn't work properly, but Phillip has worked on this and we are delighted to announce that Pure Tinctoria is back!

Here is an image of our new front page and you will find new pages, including the ability to download the instructions before you buy the dyes and if you lose your free copies that come with the dyes!

Pure Tinctoria Website

Hi All

I just wanted to update you about the Pure Tinctoria website, which is undergoing changes.  The company, Startershop, I have my e-commerce website with has decided they don't want to manage e-commerce sites anymore, so I am having to look for a new website and host.

I thought I'd found one as good as Startershop, but sadly  they have let me down, in fact, on more than one occasion.  What should have taken less than a week is still ongoing and therefore I am still with the old site, but having taken our an advert in a couple of magazines, to promote my new domain name, some new or potential customers will find that they can't access the new site, which appears as under construction and it feeds them to the wrong old site!

Please bear with me, I'm finding it very, very stressful, but will full fill all orders as speedily as usual.  If you hear of anyone who has tried to access either site and not succeeded, please direct them to my email address or telephone number and I will deal with their order that way in my usual efficient manner!

I hope to get a new site up and running before Wonderwool Wales, but am holding my breathe!

Best wishes

Alison

Students using Pure Tinctoria Dyes

I've just had an email from Angelita Codoni, a student at London College of Fashion, who has just had her Critique for her final project. She has used Pure Tinctoria dyes and has sent this image

The fabrics look very beautiful and although she, and her fellow students, were very limited with the stuff they could show, she thinks she made the most of showing the beautiful results of the dyes. They are so vibrant in their own way.

The lustre fabric (her favourite, so beautiful) is hemp/silk and the mat fabric is bamboo jersey.

I would love to see the garments when they are finished and on the cat walk!
