Big Things Poppin'
I'm proud to announce that 94 Boutique is expanding. Over the next few weeks I will not only be moving merchandise from my store 'House of Ikon' but also adding new treasures to the shop almost everyday.
It was a hard decision to retire House of Ikon. For the past year and a half I've had fun selling everything from hand-made clothes to jewelry to vintage items under that name. I will still keep the store open, under vacation mode, to show past feedback. Possibly at some point I will reopen and brand the lighter necklaces under that moniker but for now...it's 94 Boutique.
I'm working hard on bringing some great variety to the store. In addition to purses look out for vintage housewares, collectibles and menswear! The new sections House // Home, Boudoir // Vanity and ManCave // Garage are just the beginning to the expansion.
Below are just a few of the items being added in the coming weeks...check back often!!

How To: Care for Eel Skin
If you happen to get a marking on it from a ball point pen or something else that is fairly topical, the best thing to do is grab an eraser. Any eraser will do, but make sure it is still soft and not stiff from age. Gently rub the eraser on the spot and it should disappear. The sooner you do this the better but even set in stains should lighten.
Liquids. I don't know how many times I've reached in my bag for a sip of bottled water, soda, juice, etc, and found that it has leaked. Luckily with eel skin water does no damage. The color will darken but should resume it's original hue after it dries thoroughly. If it is juice or soda or something similar rinse it out with water as soon as possible. Splashing it does the trick and is better than running it under the faucet. Do not attempt to rub out the liquid, just let the water rinse it out and let it dry over night.
Probably the coolest fix is for anything greasy. Hand lotion or sunblock type products leave a greasy film that can easily be lifted with rubber cement. Apply a thing layer of rubber cement to the effected area, let it dry and then peel it off. Again, do this as soon as possible but even set in stains can be lifted if this process is repeated several times. Doing this will not damage the skin so even if the stain is really set in keep doing it, eventually it will release.
To revive and preserve it's shine, cover the skin with clear shoe polish. Make the layer thick enough that it is shiny but not so thick that it becomes gummy or tacky. Wipe any excess with a cloth. Make sure to cover your item completely to ensure evenness of the shine.
Always be gentle with your eel skin. Although durable it is vulnerable to rips and stretching while applying these processes. Don't rub too hard on the skin and keep it in a dry cool place while not in use.
