    Erin and Mikaela were in the Saskatoonstore shopping with their Mom on this fabulous Mother’s Day weekend. The girls were being treated to a new flipalicious outfit because they had been very helpful with the family’s landscaping business over the past few weeks!

    Erin is pretty in pink, wearing our Strappy Dress in Milkshake paired with a Blossom Minky. Mikaela is rock’n out in her new GoGo Wrap dress and Hot Fudge/Gogo Essential Jacket.

    We got mail – school assignment (part 1!)

    Owners Linda and Mona Rae got a wonderful email from Elizabeth, who was doing a school project on some of Canada’s famous people. We were very flattered that she decided to do Canadian fashion entrepreneurs, and chose Triple Flip! She asked some very thoughtful questions, we just had to share some of them!

    When will you open a new store? 
    Triple Flip opened its first store in Calgary in October 2005. Store #2 was in Saskatoon in March 2008.  Store #3 was in Edmonton in November 2008. And Store #4 will begin construction this March, for a May 2009 opening in West Edmonton Mall. New opportunities are always in the works!

    Do you manufacture your own clothes? 
    Triple Flip designs all of the clothes, and chooses and purchases all of the fabric. The actual sewing is contracted out to manufacturers who cut the fabric and sew it into garments, based on our patterns. Most of our sewing is done in Calgary. Recently, because Calgary does not have enough sewers to keep up with the demand of our new stores, we have sent some of the sewing to be done in Los Angeles, California. 

    What are your goals for the future? 
    Our goal is to become the national brand of choice for girls in Canada, making clothes that they love and feel good in. 

    How did you start Triple Flip?  
    Why did you start Triple Flip?
    Where did you get the idea for Triple Flip?
     
    The idea for Triple Flip came from Linda’s 9 year old daughter. Linda and her daughter struggled to find clothes that fit her well. It seemed like everything they tried either was too big in the waist, or not long enough in the legs. The choices in stores were very limited and unexciting. She suggested we start their own store, and the idea was born! They knew that so many other girls around this age must also need and want good clothes, so it seemed like a really good business idea that would also make a lot of girls happy. They started out by looking for fabric that would feel really good and be comfortable to wear, and also look great wash after wash, as they knew how disappointing it was to buy something new, only to have it not look the same after the first wash. These clothes had to be made with something of really high quality. Once they found the best fabric, they started producing designs just in black and white, based on what their daughters and their friends told them they wanted to wear. They took this first line of designs and made up samples. They then invited four focus groups of 20 girls each to come to a party to see the styles and tell them what they thought.  Their opinions were so important, because whatever they said, we were going to put into production and into our very first store! They rated each piece as Love it, Lose it, Fix It, or OMIGOSH I have to have it! What these girls thought was really important in what Triple Flip produced.  We still ask girls everyday what they want to wear, what we should make, and what colors we should make it in.  Girls are encouraged to send in their own unique designs as well. Triple Flip always wants to make sure that we give our customers just what they are looking for in their clothes.

    What is your best selling outfit? 
    Our #1 selling piece is our Minky Dimples Jacket. We have sold more than 10,000 of these jackets since we opened.  They are loved for their incredible softness and coziness that is absolutely irresistible.  After that, our next most popular piece is our pants. Pants are so hard to find that fit well. We know so many girls that have NEVER found pants to fit them except at Triple Flip. This makes us very happy to know that we are making something that makes girls so happy.

    Cuties in Minky Dimples!

    First time at Triple Flip!

    First time at Triple Flip!

    Thanks to the fresh Minky Dimples article in mid-march’s Swerve Magazine (Calgary’s very stylish entertainment magazine!), this family stopped by our fab Triple Flip Calgary store for the first time! And they had so much fun being outfitted by our staff! These two cuties are Kaya and Jules, and yes, they are twins… They came from Okotoks with their mom, Andrea, and had to come in and check out the store after reading the article. They could not get enough Minky Dimples, and went home with one for each of the girls in the family!

    It was a great experience of shopping and picture taking!

    Kaya and Jules love their cuddly new Minky Dimples jackets!

    Maddie in her Blossom Minky!

    Maddie's pretty in pink in a Blossom Minky!

    Triple Flip Edmonton, in South Edmonton Common, sent flipgirl.ca this ADORABLE photo of Maddie, and a little note…

    Maddie and her parents came into the store unsure of what they would find (they had never been to Triple Flip before). She had so much fun with our change room mirrors.  She was soo cute that we couldn’t resist dressing her up! 

    Edmonton Team :)
