Luv-A-Fair lasted 30 years on Seymour St. before Yaletown became gentrified.In 1975 it originally opened as a gay disco but by the end of the 70s, the club owners drastically changed concepts and Luv-A-Fair became an alternative music club.The DJs played predominantly alternative rock music, post-punk and new wave, like the Clash, the Cramps, Iggy Pop, Nina Hagen, the Cure and Vancouver’s Skinny Puppy. It was a regular hang out for Vancouver’s alternative scene, with some of the regulars shying away from the weekends, when out of towners would come. All patches are silk screened, hand made by me. They are safe to go in the washer, but may fray a bit, depending on how you sew it. Black and natural fabric is a heavy weight cotton canvas. Any other fabrics are either upcycled from old clothing, or thrifted and will vary in weight and may show slight sings of wear. note that the 'upcycled blue shirt' fabric is quite light; like a blue dress shirt.
