BEA NYC: Loopy Mango's Straightforward Welcome

Waejong Kim and Anna Pulvermakher, owners of Loopy Mango, the clothing and jewelry boutique in the Dumbo district in Brooklyn, N.Y., are also authors of the forthcoming Crochet Jewelry: 40 Beautiful and Unique Designs (Interweave Press, September 2007). To celebrate the book and BEA, the pair are offering BEA attendees a 10% discount during BEA.

Kim and Pulvermakher will also be at the Interweave booth (#2721) on Saturday, June 2, at 11 a.m., where they will talk about crocheting, present a trunk show of crochet accessories from their book and do a free drawing/giveway of crochet earrings from their store.

In January, the New York Times wrote: "If one store best represents Front Street in Dumbo, it is Loopy Mango, a transplant from the East Village that opened in September. The store, a glossy gallery of a space, sells vintage clothes and antiques alongside smart, new fashion and jewelry from designers like Tufi Duek, Tocca, Rachel Roy and Tracy Reese . . . One of the founders of Loopy Mango, Waejong Kim, is a crochet artist, and the store has become something of a destination for crochet fetishists . . . the Loopy Mango crocheted products are unlike any crochet work you have seen."

Loopy Mango is located at 117 Front St. (between Adams and Washington Streets) in Brooklyn; 718-858-5930, www.loopymango.com.
