Snaps and laces <3 more from Kate Scott's collection of J. Morgan Puett, available at the shop and in support of Madrean Archipelago Wildlife Center. Special pieces being sold for a great cause. As the Madrean Center says, "be a voice for wildlife!" This center is located very close to the Mexico border where wildlife habitats are being threatened by multiple human factors... as in many parts of the world. We are eager to help with their education and rehabilitation efforts <3
We watched the sun come up... there were just a few moments of this special light <3 Heather wears the drawstring dress from the previous post, the iconic bird jacket (tail feathers!!), and a silk linen jacket- all by J. Morgan Puett. As mentioned before, we are offering this vintage collection on behalf of Madrean Archipelago Wildlife Center in an effort to support their cause <3 J. Morgan Puett was a visionary- a special designer with an eye all her own. It's a rare thing- we wish she was still designing clothes, but she carries on her artwork as a creative producer in Pennsylvania. We are lucky to be graced by the presence of this collection in our shop <3. Beautiful clothing for an important cause <3
Oh hooray it’s Fall! We are happy to commence the official start of the season with an offering of a special collection from a dear friend of ours- Kate Scott ... this collection is beloved to Kate- it is a series of vintage J. Morgan Puett pieces. Kate was the manager at the first J. Morgan Puett store in NY- a completely original space with handmade clothing that was truly special, as you likely know. Kate now lives in Canelo, AZ and she has created the Madrean Archipelago Wildlife Center. These photos were taken close to where Kate lives- in the rolling grasslands of Sonoita. We arrived to this spot just as the sun was coming up, and also as the grass was just about to turn golden from it's rare moment of green. It was so beautiful and it felt fitting in working with Kate - with her style and Morgan Puett's as well.
Kate is selling her J. Morgan Puett collection to support the Madrean Center’s efforts ... from Kate- “The mission of the Archipelago Wildlife Center is to build pathways of compassionate co-existence between people and wildlife through actions of environmental education, wildlife conservation and raptor rehabilitation. In heartfelt gratitude we will walk as if every step is a prayer and be present with love and compassion for each other as people and for all Mother Earth’s relations. Please help us reach our goals to build our center! Be a voice for wildlife!” ... 🌿 we are offering Kate’s collection through the shop- proceeds go to the center. We start off sharing one of our personal favorites- this silk linen dress with a drawstring up the front, adjustable straps with a tie in the back. The fabric is just incredible, as well as the shape on (and off!) the body. If interested, please call the shop - 520-795-2272 or email- bonboutique@gmail.com. The whole collection is available in our actual shop (not online) - come have a look if you live near by... and as mentioned, if you don’t live here, we are more than happy to help on the phone. ❤️ thank you Kate for entrusting us with these special pieces... and congrats on your center! If you would like to follow along directly with Kate, her ig is @madreanmotherwild and the website is www.mawcenter.org
Thank you to our god friend Heather Walker for modeling <3
We will be sharing more info and more photos in the coming days - we are very happy to be supporting such an important endeavor. Thank you for having a look- we hope you enjoy!
The most lovely pieces are arriving daily- we are trying to keep up with sharing it here on our blog :) These wonderful leggings, turtlenecks and crewnecks in cotton (85%) and wool (15%) have just arrived from Ichi. They have such a nice feel- a bit like an antique navy tee- the wool gives it a nice lofty texture. Now in our actual shop! Please feel free to call or email with sizing questions :)
We just received the sweetest batch of jewelry from Riversong. We adore these pieces- the mother of pearl chrysanthemums, the Japanese baroque pearls, the tiny seed pearls. We immediately thought of wearing these delicate pieces with a cozy fisherman's sweater <3 What we love about River's work is her meticulous attention to detail- the closures being a tiny little mother of pearl flower or a beautiful gold hook and eye... the small pearls that are knotted all along the back side of the chrysanthemum necklace, the handmade gold charms in the bracelets and one on a pearl necklace. Not only this, River also has a deep passion for sourcing her stones- skipping on gem shows and traveling to the source. We admire that, and can feel this depth in her work. We have many more pieces than what is shown here- if you are interested, come visit or let us know and we can send more pictures :) Cheers!
