I have wanted to refresh the shipping options to best suit everyone's requirements for a while.
]]>I have wanted to refresh the shipping options to best suit everyone's requirements for a while. After looking into how to best economically, environmentally and securely package and post your items, I am hoping I have cracked it!
You can now choose 2nd as well as 1st and tracked shipping.
I have managed to reduce costs where possible through how your order is packed and sent so now there is lots more choice and you have lots more control in how your items are sent to you.
Just as a reminder, tracked shipping is the only preference where you will have a number to follow your order once despatched, so if you need tracking information then please select that option.
Just as a note, tracked shipping does not speed up the turnaround time of your order it simply means you will have a tracking number.
If you require something quickly then please get in contact before you order to check if it is possible.
]]>So why have I done this?
Well, as you all know my tinsel capes are made by recycling tinsel curtain decorations. I cut these into size and then hand place each strand onto EVERY cape.
It takes time, and if you have seen one of my capes in the wild you will know the result is a fabulous, fluffy accessory with lots of movement and sparkle made up from the cascading layers of tinsel on each cape.
I love them and each one is a handmade achievement by me, something I have touched and made every aspect of. So, I felt I owed it to myself to find out just how much tinsel goes into each one.
So the experiment began...
If, you saw on Instagram I ran it as a bit of a 'how many sweets in the jar?' style competition and loved seeing all the guesses because just like me you guys just had no clue either. But, this meant I needed to set some ground rules for the count.
So, I chose a green cape to make made from a gorgeous shiny tinsel that had been donated for me to recycle. Got myself comfortable and started the count. It took a while, I have got placing tinsel on a cape down to a fine art, but then when you have to stop to count it once you've completed a row, it takes a bit longer!
Here it is the completed cape! I think I might love it more because its had that extra 10% effort gone into it by all the counting.
OK, OK I'll put you out of your misery I know you are all desperate to know how many strands have gone into this gorgeous disco style staple.
Well the answer is...
So, next time you look at one of my capes and I tell you that every strand is hand placed and sewn on to every cape you will know that at least 553 strands of gorgeous recycled tinsel has gone into every one.
I hope to see a lot of gorgeous tinselled shimmying shoulders at many a party, festival or wedding this year!

Hello,
Welcome to my little corner of the world where I create fabulous jewellery, accessories and garments, with a passion for the fashion, glitz and glam of 1980's pop culture.
Who am I?
My name is Steph and I love the 80's. The music, the TV, movies... Especially Angela Lansbury. A lot of your items are made either to one of my many 80's playlists, or several episodes of Murder She Wrote. I love creating and take my inspiration from this era and this is a starting block for all my designs.
Why 'All The Discos'?
Easy, because it is my firm belief that you should take disco with you wherever you go. Night out, school run, weekly big shop... the list is endless and there is never a situation that cannot be improved with a bright, fabulous pair of earrings.
What do I make?
Lightning bolts of every size and colour to adorn your ears. Novelty accessories sparkling with retro charm. Festival favourite capes made from recycled and repurposed party decorations that you cant help but shimmy your shoulders in.
If you want to keep up with more of what is going on then give us a follow on Instagram @allthediscos
