Built into the cliffs overlooking the Suvan Sea, Riverfall resides on the edge of grasslands of Cyphrus where the Bluevein River plunges off the plain and cascades down to the inland sea below. Home of the Akalak, Riverfall is a self-supporting city populated by devoted warriors. [Riverfall Codex]

Excellent ladies' and gentlemen's clothing, cosmetics, and hair supplies

Image

From the outside, the medium cottage-style building is inconspicuous and unassuming. Ivy covers much of the front, though otherwise, the façade is immaculate. A selection of fashionable men’s and women’s clothing is displayed in the display window. Above the door hangs a wooden sign with the image of a red gem engraved in it: Red Diamond Fashions.

The interior is cozy, though not crowded. In front of the door is the clothing section, divided into two sides. In the center aisle between the shelves is the main source of light: an ornate candelabra with red glass gems decorating it. There are mirrors on select walls, with chairs interspersed strategically. An uncluttered front desk stands to the left of the front door, and three changing rooms stand along the right side of the back wall.

On the right side of the main room, men’s clothing is meticulously stacked and displayed on racks. The styles are smart, without being too ornate. Many items feature leather, and are clearly oriented towards warriors and those for whom function is primary over form. To the left are the women’s fashions, which contains a selection more ornate and colorful than the men's. To the back of this side, there is a rack of intimates, an opening to the store's fireplace, and a door to the back room.

On the left side, past the women's section and the front desk, is the newer section of the store. Another door to the back stands against the back wall. Next to the door is a display case, filled with neatly stacked boxes of cosmetic powders and jars of facials. Along the side wall is another shelf, this one dedicated to hair supplies such as shampoos and soaps.

The shop is closed every seventh day, though appointments can be made for off days if necessary. Of the six days the shop is open, Hudon is at the front desk for five days, and the remaining day, Rosela is there.

ImageAll clothing sold by Red Diamond Fashions is marked by a discreet 'R', usually on a hidden tag, or, when required to preserve an aspect of the item, sewn into the inside of the clothing. All of these are embroidered by Rosela herself, as a way of identifying the authenticity of her designs. For examples of the fashion offered, please see RDF's Pinterest page. This is not an actual list of what's available, but is purely to give the stylistic impression. Currently, only the page contains only women's fashion.

Proprietor
ImageName: Rosela re Ahnatep
Race: Eypharian (6 arms)
DoB: Summer 24th, 488 AV
Title: Owner

Rosela is the owner of Red Diamond Fashions, a business she started herself in late 512AV. While Reven and Hudon assist in stitching clothing together, the rest of the work as well as the original designs are from Rosela herself.

She is a native of Ahnatep in Eyktol, where her family owns a fashion line. Though she is estranged from them, her native style has immigrated with her, and her fashions are often more colorful and fashion-forward than what is commonly found in Riverfall. She often has an idea of a customer’s best colors and style almost immediately after meeting him or her, though whether they agree with her assessment is up to them. While her preferred style is the brazen richness of her homeland in the upper class of Ahnatep, she accepts that Riverfall isn’t ready for such flair and makes her designs as practical as her creativity will allow.


 
Desk Clerk
ImageName: Hudon Levrat (NPC)
Race: Akalak
DoB: 88th of Summer, 478AV
Title: Desk Clerk

Hudon mans the front desk of Red Diamond Fashions 5 days out of every seven, with Rosela coming in on the sixth day, and the store closed on the seventh.

Personally, he is a quiet man, and his soft-spoken demeanor can come off as a startling contrast to many of his more gruff Akalak brethren. He is by no means ignorant of his own appearances, thinking himself a handsome man, and is very aware of his own style in both clothing and attitude. Though he stays in shape and is proficient with his lakan, he knows he will not attract the attentions of his future wife by competing with his Akalak brothers on the level of a warrior. Instead, he has cultivated intelligence and taste that allows him to speak with confidence to almost any woman. He can ‘lower’ himself to joking with the boys if necessary, but finds himself more at ease with feminine company, even if he is not considering any of them ‘wife’ material.

Postby Starling Frost on October 26th, 2013, 5:24 am

2nd day of fall, 513

Starling came to Red Diamond Fashions early in the morning on the theory that spending money you didn't have a ready replacement for was more acceptable if few people saw you doing it. Money was always tight when you were a person of Starling's age and lack of parentage, but then again some things were necessary.

Starling owned only one outfit, and it was this that she wore today: loose cotton pants of a tan color that were tightened around the ankle with ties, a long shirt of dark blue that almost seemed to be a dress if you made allowances, and well-used boots of dark leather. Nevertheless she had combed her hair well and tied it back with a bit of blue ribbon, and she came into the store with the air of someone who belonged among fine things.

Looking about for someone to speak too, she saw a pretty Eypharian lady and approached, making an abbreviated curtsy.

"Hello mam! I've come on a vital mission to get myself clothing. The thing is that I do not own a hat, and without a hat my head is naked and what would my mother say? Also I only own one pair of underpants which makes things awkward come washing day. If one isn't to be mistaken for a vicious barbarian then one must have certain things."

Starling made fangs of her fingers as she said the words "vicious barbarian" to emphasize the point, although in truth she was persuading herself more than the shopkeeper, who she supposed would be more or less happy to sell her things.

Rosela didn't normally cater to children, partially due to her general distaste for them, but carrying at least some smaller-sized clothing was unavoidable in a city as focused on its children as Riverfall. Therefore, her trepidation at seeing a young customer walk through her doors was quickly tempered, as much as it could, with her usual professionalism. The child wasn't a street rat, apparently, given her tidy appearance, so there were small blessings at least.

"Ahem, yes..." She moved from behind the counter to speak to the girl a little more personally, two hand clasped in front of her and the rest behind. "I'm afraid I do not sell hats. You'll have to visit a haberdashery for those. But I do sell undergarments." Raising a hand, she led the girl to the back of the store, and forced herself not to show her anxiety of being with a child so close to the lingerie section. She couldn't scatter the entire intimates section all over the store for a single child.

"Will one of your parents be joining you? ...To pay? Undergarments are 1 silver miza and 3 coppers, each." It felt tactless to ask, but it wasn't every day a child came in on their own.

Timestamp: 42nd of Winter, Morning

Juriya had heard that this place was the best clothing shop in town, and the woman who ran it was an interesting Eypherian. (Of course Juriya had no idea what that meant, but she assumed it was a race, like Akalak, or Human.) She cleared her throat and then tried to keep her face frown pulling into a frown as she walked into the shop and tried to kick the snow off her boots before walking through the entire place.

This particular Kelvic was not the best at interacting with others, so this whole buying a dress for the party tomorrow (as well as slippers if they had them,) would be a good learning experience. While there was a bazaar she could just walk into and buy from, this place was supposed to be way better than any other place. The last thing she wanted to do was show up looking like was a dirty, under-dressed, animal. Besides, the dress might come in handy, if she was invited to dinner, or invited someone to dinner... Maybe.

Nerves were causing the Kelvic to chew on her lower lip and play with the fabric of her cloak. After a while of looking around hopelessly she moved to the counter and cleared her throat as she release her cloak from her fidgeting grasp. "Excuse me, I need a dress." She finally decided to just ask. Knowing her luck she would pick something for herself that either did not fit, or was just not appropriate for the event she was planning on attending.
