March 2007

Just a quickie update to let you know that even though it's still warm and summery here in Perth, our winter stock is starting to arrive from all over the place. Rad!

January 2007

Well here we are in the new year and we've got lots of exciting new stock to tell you all about!

We've had big deliveries of jewellery from Classic Hardware and Lady Luck Rules OK. We love the Classic Hardware pieces using reproduction bakelite - so awesome! And the Lady Luck items feature such cute and colourful charms, you'll love them!

We have a great t-shirt label in the store at the moment which really flew out the door at Christmas time - Heavy Rotation from the US. They're actually based in Milwaukee, MI - famous for great beer, Happy Days and great music. C'mon, both the Violent Femmes and Liberace are from Milwaukee!

Check out the super-rocking 3-D shirt! Yes it does come with your own pair of glasses.

Anyhow, Heavy Rotation make awesome tees for guys and girls, they've been really popular and we're the only stockist in all of Australia at the moment (shh, don't tell any other stores about them!) so you better get in soon if you wanna pick one up!

Another great tee-shirt label we got in recently is Young Lovers from Sydney. They do limited edition runs of only 100 of their men's shirts (and only 20 of the girls versions, if any) so we're really pleased that we snagged a bunch.

If you can resist snapping up one of these totally awesome Degrassi Jr High prints, then you've got more will power than either of us!We're super excited about the delivery we got yesterday - a box all the way from Korea and the Millimeter/Milligram stationery company. We are both stationery freaks and we just had to get some of their awesome stuff, notebooks, drawing books, photo albums, capsule letters, diaries and even these rad tote bags!

Oh and one last thing - if you're in Perth and going to the RTRfm quiz night, try extra hard because you might win a Ruck Rover gift voucher. How cool would that be? We'll see you there!

November 2006

New Stock!

We just received a new batch of super-awesome tees from Modern Planet, a t-shirt label from NYC. We got a few more headphones and reel-to-reel designs plus some new ones - robots, 8mm camera, guitars and bike. Come in and buy one because they rule. A nice big package from Poketo arrived with a whole slew of their cool shirts from guys (and girls this time), some more limited edition wallets, a great canvas messenger bag in two sizes, blank books and even some computer keyboard themed reminder magnets, a perfect Christmas gift for the organised geek in your life.

Also new is the biology inspired tees, badges and stickers from the lovely I Heart Guts! You'll have to come and see them for yourself to appreciate the true genius of their awesomeness! We love our guts!

October 2006

Well we're finally open, hurray! A big thanks to everyone who graced us with their presence at our launch party this week. We had lots of fun after we got over the stress of throwing a party! A big thanks to all our friends who helped out but especially to Jessie and Charlotte for tending the bar for us.

In other news, we are also very pleased to announce the arrival of 31 Corn Lane bags, wallets and belts to our store. We have been long time admirers of the Sperber Sisters and their awesome bags so it's great to now have them to sell!

Also freshly in stock is the new range of Princess Tina! It's probably our favourite label in the store so you should all come down and check out Beci Orpin's fantastic clothing, bags and brilliant jewellery. Ok?

October 2006

Well it's been a long time since we've updated this website but that's because we've been super busy doing stuff like getting our store ready to open!

Things are coming along pretty well. Now our store looks like this - all blue and red and full of light globes. We think it is quite pretty and hope you agree! We had a lovely electrician named Michael to do all the sparky stuff. If you need an electrician let us know, we totally recommend him.

Today we're finishing up painting our change rooms and storage room that were built for us by a couple of lovely carpenters named Chris and Gordon. They rock!

Anyhow, all we have to do after that is get our furniture in and stock the shop! We'll be open by Friday kids, so come on in and have a look for yourself!

Love, Ruck Rover

July 2006

Welcome to our brand new website! We don't have much news for now as our shop isn't quite open yet!

We are getting the keys to the store today and then we have to do the fit out. Hopefully this won't take too long and then we will be ready to sell you our wares. And what fine wares they are too.
Here's a photo of what the shop looks like at the moment:

Soon it will look quite different. Well not that much different. There will still be pipes and concrete but there'll be colour and maybe a mural or two and lots of great clothes and accessories to look at.

Check back soon for more news!
Love, Ruck Rover
