A personal Thank You from Cibeline

I was honored and truly floored by the response from each of you who called, emailed & texted with encouragement on the latest and greatest stage of Cibeline Boston, your kind comments and thoughts on motherhood, after sending out my Blogpost (www.cibeline.blogpost.com ) and Cibeline Boston email last Friday.

Many of you expressed sadness in seeing the boutique close; though I too share that feeling, I am also looking forward to future endeavors, adventures, and continued creative, one-on-one involvement with my clients. Working directly with all of you in custom design, and wardrobe consulting (for both women & men) is what keeps me inspired and there is certainly more of that to come!

The Charles Street boutique will be closed by Sunday, January 29th, and we will continue with our Winter Sale until then - merchandise is now 30% to 50% off.

After that, you will be able to continue to purchase the Cibeline Collection designs on my website, www.cibelinesariano.com, or to order custom garments contact me directly for any and all custom design requests at info@CibelineSariano.com. Also, any Cibeline design you have previously enjoyed can be recreated in a new fabric and be on the look out for the customizable reversible wrap dresses- everyones favorite dress made to your exact color/length specifications. This is truly an exciting time indeed!

Representing Custom men's shirts, pants, suits and ready to wear by J. Hilburn remains a new facet of my business and I will most certainly continue to provide expert advice on menswear for my male clientele. Please contact me at Cibeline.Sariano@jhilburnpartner.com to set up an appointment to see fabric /color swatches, garment detail options, and to style your own shirt, pant or suit. To see all options ahead of time go to: www.jhilburn.com

Again, Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your incredible emails and messages. I remain beyond flattered and I hope to work with each of you again in the near future.

Much love and many thanks,
Cibeline

Personal note from Cibeline

On a personal note from Cibeline:

After ten wonderful years in retail, I have decided to focus my time and energy on new endeavors and adventures...I have decided to close my store on Charles Street in order to focus on my fashion consulting and wardrobe styling, custom design, teaching fashion design & of course my latest favorite project, custom menswear with J.Hilburn. An exact closing date for Charles Street is not official, but please plan to come in to give a hug and shop my January sale; our hope is to close the retail location by end January /early February.

Most importantly, my husband Tim and I are expecting our first child in this oh-so-fashionable world in late June, and we are looking forward to extra quality time with our future bambino (red sox fan for sure!).

Of course, this decision was not an easy one, and feels bittersweet, as I have enjoyed meeting so many incredible people and made new friends over the last ten years in my boutique. Working to help so many of you look and feel confident and beautiful in your new threads remains one of my greatest passions. I have loved throwing parties, events, fashion shows - and, not to worry, our annual trunk show will continue on, and I have hopes to grow the fundraiser element of this very special event.

As far as www.cibelinesariano.com is concerned, I plan on creating a custom order page for my most popular design, the Reversible Wrap Dress, with the ability to order it in all different lengths, sleeve options and color options. The Reversible Wrap Dress will be available in 10-to-20 various color and print options and be cut to order and shipped to you within 4-6 weeks of your order. Look for this site addition in early spring!

As far as custom design work, reach out to me if you have a project in mind and I will look forward to possibly creating an outfit with you or a custom one off from my previous design library at info@cibelinesariano.com.

I am eager to embark on this path towards styling clients in their own closets, creating custom design projects, including my custom menswear business and website endeavors, as well as teaching the future fashion designers, retailers and editors coming into my beloved industry.

Much love and, again, many thanks to all of you for your incredible support over these last ten years!
