Its That Tribal Festing Time Again!

         Salomes' Suitcase Trunk Show!
             Wearable Treasure To Inspire Your Dance!

Its time once again for your Tribal Fest pilgrimage!

Held every year in the lovely town of Sebastopol, California, Kajira Djoumahna and her husband Chuck throw down the most amazing Tribal Belly Dance event of the year - of anywhere on the planet. Many of the members of Salome's Suitcase have participated and supported this festival since its infancy.  Some of us have been performers. Some of us have been vendors.  Some of us do both!  We are having a Trunk Show this time at the Fairfield Inn - just down the road where many of you will be staying! Good Times!

Tribal Fest is now on its 11th successful year of bringing you the newest, the best, and the brightest of the global Tribal Belly Dance Community.  People make the pilgrimage from all around the globe to shop, to vend, to teach, to study, and to perform.  This is where you will see the new trends being introduced and developed.  This is where you can meet the designers, the movers, the shakers, the performers and the fans - we are all fans - the splendor is overwhelming!  How can we not be!

Once again, Salome's Suitcase brings you our latest selection of original handcrafted garments and adornments in an environment filled with ambiance and Oldie Worldie charm!  We understand a dancer's needs and we love nothing more than helping you enhance your practice and stage presence.  Many of our pieces have huge crossover appeal and versatility, thus enabling you much room to round out your wardrobe!

Not only is the Fairfield Inn a very convenient location (not far from the actual event) for most, but trying on clothing will be a dream!  Our hours should allow most of you the time to stop by, hang out, say hi, shop 'til you drop, take a break from the overwhelm and then get back to the festivities!

We will see you there! We Cant Wait!!!!

The Edwardian Ball 2011

Salome's Suitcase is pleased as punch to announce that we will be vending at the 11th Annual Edwardian Ball in San Francisco!

Not only will we be there selling our fabulous wares on both evenings of the ball, but Saturday the 22nd will be a free admission shopping day!!!!! That's right, you can walk right in and shop without having to attend the ball. I'm sure you will find something unique to wear that evening because after you see how wonderful the vendors' area is, you will have to attend the ball. Its wonderful and fun, and unique and you won't want to miss getting dressed up and spinning around the dance floor!

Minerva's Antennae will be there!

Our Beats Antique/ Tribal Fest Weekend

Tribal Fest is over and life is back to normal for all of us - whatever that means.

Many of us didn't vend at Tribal Fest itself this year, but preferred to vend at the Beats Antique Show that Thursday night, at the Hopmonk Tavern in Sebastopol, and then for two nights at the Tribal Fest Afterparty - same venue - hosted by DJ Amar.

Friday night was our first fashion show as a collective and it went off without a hitch. We did a lot of planning, organizing, model wrangling, crazed construction and sewing beforehand - and despite our hectic schedules (Rose went and got married the weekend before!) we pulled together an amazing show. Thanks to everyone for all their hard work. Thank you to Amar. Thanks to the Hopmonk Tavern (and their lovely meals!). And thank you so much to our beautiful models who had to stand half naked in the cold before they went on...........photos coming soon!

We always pull a great little space together wherever we go. Each of us brings our unique tastes, flair, and expertise to the table - literally - to produce ambiance and a unique shopping experience several grades up from your average festival vending. We are genuinely happy to see you again, meet you firsthand, and show you what we do!

But at night - with Lee's vintage lamps, and everyones' mirrors, props and merchandise, the booth pops! Its such a pretty place to come and hang out at. We actually like being there and it doesn't feel like work. Well, after we've set up that is...........please support your vendors - all of them (not just us!!!)  at least say hi - because we all travel to get there - to get to YOU - and the overhead can be mighty steep to say the least! Its actually very hard work schlepping, setting up, taking down, packing, unpacking, and repacking,  but we do get to have a lot of fun! "Work" does have its perks! We all hung out at Tribal Fest during the day, some of us worked, performed, some shmoozed, some of us even took a much needed little road trip through the woods and to the sea!
