HELP US CHOOSE COLORS FOR THE VERSALETTE!
We’re coming out of our post-Kickstarter holiday hibernation, slowly but surely.
There is so much to catch up on — a lot has happened in the last few weeks, and we’ll be writing about all of it soon. Kristin met with one of the partners we’re working with to discuss fabrics. We had a Kickstarter snafu that left us scared for a few days. And our insane plans for the New Year will certainly require a post (or two).
But for now, we need some advice.
This probably isn’t the way you’re “supposed” to do business, but here we are. In 24 hours, we’ve got to finalize our color selection for the Versalette. It’s been a lot of logistics work, and we didn’t end up with the color selection that we really wanted.
But that’s life — and we’re fortunate to have six colors available to us, with such a small order (by industry standards, of course!).
We are hoping to expand into more earth-toned colors (like that plum we had planned on getting, corals, mustardy yellows, muted blues and greens, and of course black) in the future. For our first order, though, this is what we’ve got.
Let us know what you think — and what you would wear. You can comment below, or head over to Facebook to leave your thoughts!
It’s a good feeling to make these decisions together. We’re so appreciative, as always. {r}




green
blue
aluminum
I love the aluminum. The dark color would make it great for travel and really versatile.
Definitely the aluminum for mine!
I am a big fan of mustardy yellows, though, so I fully support your interest in that color for future pieces! I think mustardy yellow and the aluminum color shown here would coordinate in an absolutely lovely way.
Navy!!
I was given the versalette as a present and am looking forward to it. I would have loved to get black, but I’m thinking that for me the aluminum may be the most useful. Looking forward to follow your journey.
I would wear aluminum… Good luck!
I think they’re great! I’d probably wear the aluminum the most, so if I ordered just one, I’d go with that. The blue is gorgeous though, and I’d definitely be down with wearing that one too!
Love, love the Blue! Makes me think of the Aegean…ahhhhh
hey you guys it’s so exciting to see everything start to come together!
all of those colors look awesome so whatever happens in the end it’s bound to be great. I’m a fan of the green, aluminum, and white personally.
But honestly all of the colors seem great & I wouldn’t have a problem with any :)
As a human who lives in black and purple, I guess I’ll have to go with “aluminum.”
Hey, the colors are not to bad. I totally agree that more earth toned colors would be nicer but hey for just starting out these are going to look great! My favorite is the aluminum mainly because I am on a huge grey kick right now!
Honestly, I won’t wear any of these colors. None of them would be remotely versatile with my earth toned wardrobe. :(
I totally understand that logistics don’t always work out just how you want, I just hope that your kickstarter supporters will have the choice to wait until your second order (or however many orders it takes to get the earth toned options) to receive our versalettes! I am really looking forward to mine, but I am willing to wait as long as it takes to make sure that mine is the perfect addition to my wardrobe!
Kate, we’ll definitely make sure to give an option to hold off until the perfect color is available for different wardrobes. I TOTALLY understand — and I’m also one of those people who doesn’t want to add something to my wardrobe that I don’t love + know I will wear all the time. So I have great respect for not settling when it comes to the right piece : ) Thanks for being patient – we’re bummed too but know it’ll work out!
Great, thank you! Now that the reward survey is out, what do I do to indicate that I want to hold out for a different color? Kickstarter won’t let me submit the form without choosing a color. Thanks again!
I really loved the natural color that was used in the pictures on the Kickstarter, but I’d probably go with White or Navy. Of all the color choices, those two are the ones that would look good, for me anyway, no matter which way I chose to wear them.
You know, I sort of agree with Kate! I was most excited for plum or black. So I would wait too, but, if I was forced to choose, probably aluminum.
Like I said to Kate — I completely understand the need to add the perfect piece to your wardrobe (colorwise + all!) and that is a really big part of how we dress as well! We’ll of course let anyone wait who wants to, and hopefully be able to get some of our top color picks in the mix sooner than later. Thanks for your patience : )
Or maybe I’ll just get two!!!!
Digging the aluminum, navy, or white! :)
Black or white.
I’m gonna wait on the earth tones too, but I would have to say the aluminum or white. I liked the color in the the kickstarter campaign photos too!
Love the aluminum the best then navy and green.
I love the navy or aluminum!
Aluminum, definitely!
Loving the sound of all those muted colors! I’m not likely to buy any of the ones you have available, but if I were, I’d probably go for the green.
Huge thanks to all of you for your help! We’ve got a lot of tallying to do but it looks like a lot of votes for most all colors. We can order every color, so we’ll probably do that and try to get a feel for our quantities from you guys. You’re the best!
Navy! A good neutral. It won’t show dirt, suits a wide variety of people, can be paired with any accent colour. I love the blue and red too but are too limiting for travel. I can’t wear earth tones easily so I hope future choices won’t be all earthy.
definitly white and navy!!!!
1st choice aluminum, 2nd navy.
Don’t know if you still need it but I like the aluminium and the red.
I think you could find buyers for all of the colors. The answer below reflects what I would personally buy and wear. If you have to pick one, I think the Aluminum would suit the most potential buyers.
Aluminum-Yes
Navy-Yes
Red-Maybe
Green-Maybe
White-No
Blue-No
If you have the opportunity to add to your colors, I would love to see something like a purple or fuschia.
I’m digging aluminum.
Black, white, aluminum, natural.
If it’s not too late….I like the Aluminum or the Red.
aluminumm, navy , green
Hi Ladies !
Intrigued in your styles and your creativity thru Kickstarter. I am in the fashion business too and
mainly deal with fashion fabrics mainly luxury qualities from Europe supplying to Garment Makers in the Far East.
Just for your info and input, from the 6 colours available on your columns above, the best colours according to market experience presently is Aluminium, Navy and could be Green but even a darker shade of Green.
Colours for next season are definately Off White (Milk color / Beige /Creamish Brown and surprisingly Dark Orange
and Black is always fashionable and important for easier matching. Just some inputs to ensure your success!
best regards and Good Luck!
Love all the colors but I would most likely wear aluminum, white or navy! :)
I like white the best. It will match with everything.
I was hoping for the plum color, too, so I’ll probably be holding out – but of the colors above, I would say:
1. aluminum
2. navy
3. red
Can’t wait for more updates!
I love grey, so Aluminum it is! Sorry you ladies didnt get the earthy natural colors you wanted . . .I bet we will be able to acquire more variety in the future, but color is definitely important! For me, nothing is more versatile than grey.
Yup. Aluminum. I don’t often wear a ‘color’ color (although I love color, just not ON me).
will buy aluminum for sure, maybe red
I like all those colours, but they don’t work with my minimalist wardrobe so I too would wait for plum or olive.
Navy & Aluminum, I like the darker colors
Navy & Green!
Aluminum, Navy, or Green
Do move towards earth tones please – sienna, umbra etc.
I miss off white in your current range :-)
Congratulations with the fantastic support you received.
Best wishes,
Marielise
Navy, Aluminum, and White
Good job girls! Yall are doing such an awesome project with the Versalette and {r}evolution apparel as a whole. It’s inspiring for the rest of us :)
Please order some blue – I think the color is gorgeous! At first, I was drawn to navy and aluminum because of their versiatility, but then I realized the blue would make a stunning statement piece in a neutral/black capsule wardrobe. So my vote is for blue!
Navy and Aluminum!
Red & navy
Aluminum and navy are my favorites.
Red is my favorite. I’m also a fan of navy and blue. Can’t wait to get my Versalette! Keep up the good work!
My choices would be:
Navy
Aluminum
Green (though would prefer a tad darker, dustier green, but that’s an aside)
Me too. A dark forest green would be great!
Love the Aluminum! Navy is always classic and Green is perfectly on trend! In that order, those are my suggestions.
Thank you for being so transparent! I am learning so much from the {Revolution} business model!!!
Cheers to the NY and continued success!
Janiece
I like:
Aluminum
Red
Green
Good luck. And, I can’t wait for the Earth tones, too!
Green. Green. Green. My favorite color. I’m so happy you’re considering it. As most people have said, the Aluminum would be the most versatile, and work for almost anyone. I want to wear mine on a summer holiday to the beach and try and pack a really really small bag. It’ll be my own little test of the Versalette.
I like all the colours and would purchase more if I could. But for the Kickstarter campaign I would most like the navy or aluminum. :)
I vote aluminum, my gf votes blue. :)
Navy & aluminum are my votes! Good luck, can’t wait to get one.
Cheers,
Ellie
Definitely the navy first. It looks great on everyone and the dark color hides any stains or wetness really easily. In terms of prioritization, this is my vote:
1) Navy
2) Aluminum
3) Green
4) Red
5) Blue
6) White
Green and aluminum
Looking forward to your first production of this garment!
~Meshell
navy and aluminum all the way! keep up the amazing work
dxo
navy and aluminum all the way! keep up the amazing work
Aluminium.. it would go with all my crazy coloured scarved! :)
Love the white, green, and aluminum! White because you never know when you’ll find yourself in the desert or really hot location, green: earth tone, and aluminum just because its an awesome color. I also like the red as you can make it really sexy! :D
i’d love the navy, white and aluminum! those would match everything in my wardrobe!
Hey Jen,
We’ll have navy and aluminum available for this go-round, so we hope that’ll suit you!
A little late but, Navy, Blue and Red
Thanks Claire!
