French
for "beautiful wardrobe," Belle Armoire®
marries fabric arts with rubber stamping and embellishments–showcasing
one-of-a-kind handmade fashions and wearable-art projects. Art stampers,
embroidery artists, custom jewelry designers, fabric painters, and
knitting and crocheting enthusiasts will find in Belle Armoire
opportunity and inspiration to create their own beautiful wardrobe.
Our
readers are hungry for new products: silk dyes and paints, beads and
charms, wire, silk and other textiles, yarns and fibers, rubber art
stamps, stencils, and polymer clay, to name a few. They also crave
information about cutting-edge techniques and products that will help
them achieve their most imaginative designs.

"We
are a small business that has grown significantly over the past two
years. Advertising in Somerset Studio and Belle
Armoire has been part of a strategic plan in the growth of our
business. This approach has proven itself to be beneficial to the point
that we have recently opened a retail outlet in addition to our wholesale
business."
–Pamela Tarpy, Owner
The Bead Boutique
"Belle
Armoire readers obviously have a passion for what they do, and
they have responded enthusiastically to our ads.”
–Kate Matthews

While other magazines
have neglected the strong crossover market, Belle Armoire
meets it head-on with innovative projects that incorporate a variety
of techniques and mixed-media products. For example, a silk painter
might add hand-sewn beads to her award-winning scarves and garments,
or a clothing designer could create jackets with photo transfers, machine
embroidery, beading, or handmade polymer clay buttons. Belle Armoire
puts advertisers in front of this new, integrated audience.
