A Summer outfit we love - woven Morroccan hat, our Pintuck Dress and Jacqueline Espadrilles :)
+
We have just received these wonderful espadrilles. They have laces that criss cross in the front and lace through the sides to the back with ties to wrap around your ankles. They are the perfect shoe for Summer! The way they are made is wonderful also - they are stitched by the sewers in their homes, throughout the Basque region. They are made of cotton uppers with hemp and rubber for the soles. Classic nd timeless, we love this style.
Astier de Villatte Encens
Sharing with you this short film made by North Sea Air about the making of Astier de Villatte Incense. It is such a delight to watch and we hope it brings some beauty to your day. It's amazing to think about the chains of production we all support. When something is sustainably made like this - with years, decades, centuries of learned skill and expertise - it is something to admire and it's important to protect. We love that Astier de Villatte finds projects like this where they work in collaboration with those who have special know how and traditional ways of producing to bring us the most well made, delightful things. Lucky us!
We have many of the different scents of incense from Astier in our shop and online. The inspiration for the scents comes from places that the founders and designers of the company love. From Yakushima to Porte de Lilas... to Tucson! The scents travel the world :) To think that on the island of Awaji, they make the scent of our hometown Tucson - that feels extraordinary!
North Sea Air makes such beautiful short films - you can find more of their work, including other films about Astier de Villatte on their website here. Have fun exploring!

We have just added a beautiful, classic dress by Apunto b. to our online shop. This dress is very flattering on - a piece that is easy to quickly put on and look elegant and put together. We love it with espadrilles and also with the Repetto jazz shoes. It also looks great with a straw hat. It is made of a lovely crisp cotton giving it a nice structure and shape. The pleating and the sleeve length are very flattering aspects of this dress. It also has a nice length - hitting at the mid to lower calf. A beauty it is!
Now available in our online shop - right at the top of our wardrobe section :)

Tablecloth as summer cape <3 This is one of the white linen tablecloths we have available in many sizes. They are made of a beautiful linen with a nice substantial weight. They have hemstitched edges, a lovely detail. A table dressed in white is fun to build off of - adding color with flowers, dishes, glassware... or going all white is a stunning presentation as well :) We personally use these tablecloths with blue willow plates and gingham napkins. It's fun to try different things! These are all in our online shop - all the sizes are listed there <3
