Browse the pages, enjoy the stories and the art, but please understand that the webmaster bluecarp can no longer respond personally to your inquries; like Jennifer Barclay, Blue Fish's founder, she too has moved on. However, Blue Fish Tales will stay online as a historical tribute to the original company that inspired so many women (and men) to depart from cookie-cutter fashion and adopt art-to-wear clothing as a way of life.

Blue Fish closed for good on Saturday, April 28th, 2001 Blue Fish is Dead! Long Live Blue Fish.... ...and so it will, in the closets, hearts, and souls of its wearers and makers and all others touched by Blue Fish. Thanks to eBay and the world wide web, a larger audience discovered Blue Fish in the final year than have ever stumbled onto it before. Where can you still find BF? On eBay, at consignment shops in towns that had BF shops or sales....and on the message boards where swaps and consignment sales are still going strong. Enjoy your Blue Fish, and remember the spirit and driving force of Jennifer Barclay (the person who founded it and designed the line right up to the end) and the company that produced it. As Blue Fish the Company often printed in their materials, "Speak to the Earth in a language beyond words...your actions." Though Blue Fish Clothing is no longer, the following companies offer art-to-wear clothing that appeal to fans of Blue Fish.
EVENTS IN STYLE
Shop

Lee Albright of All Bright Vintage specializes in online consignment sales of Blue Fish Clothing, gently worn, from other Blue Fish fans like you who treat their Blue Fish with reverence. Lee's careful descriptions and numerous photos of each item ensure that you know exactly what you'll be getting, with no unpleasant surprises (we've all heard BF eBay horror stories).

Thank you to All Bright Vintage for its support of Blue Fish Tales! SEE THE BARCLAY STUDIO COLLECTIONS ONLINE! www.bsprites.com Thanks to a fan-driven website you can now see line drawings, prices, colors, AND prints online of what Barclay Studio and BFrenchtown has to offer. This is the newest venture of former Blue Fish founder and creative center Jennifer Barclay. The website is a blessing for those who live far away, as there is no catalog for Barclay Studio at this point, so this is your way of finding out what there is available in terms of styles of prints, clothing designs, etc. You cannot order from this site, and the clothes featured are from private collections..but you can browse and get an idea. Thank you Bsprites for doing this...it's a gift to all of us! To order, you'll want to

Featuring the designs of Jennifer Barclay / Barclay Studio.
