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!
We are overjoyed by all the wonderful books we have received... and it's such a lovely time of year to be discovering new reads and sources of inspiration :) Shown above is Short Stories by Paolo Ventura (an incredible book- a made up world with backdrops and scenes all made and orchestrated by the artist - inspired by a beautiful light he discovered in a barn he was restoring- after a bit of the ceiling caved in)... The Delicious- A Companion to New Food Culture (a wonderful book about new restaurants around the world)... Autentico - Cooking Italian the Authentic Way, by Rolando Beramendi (an incredible cookbook - beautiful photography with an emphasis toward elegant, fresh, simple (in the best way) recipes - some that we've tried and can say were delicious!!) ... and The Skirt Chronicles (a biannual publication based in France with interesting articles on art and fashion.
Cherry wears our white raglan shirt and white gathered skirt. We love to wear white year 'round. In the winter it looks great to wear a white ensemble with black wool stockings and either a jazz shoe or a short riding boot <3

There is a special world of colorful wonders and unexpected moments - the world of Nong Rak (young love in Thai), a design and vintage studio created by our friends Cherry and Home Phuanfeuang. We have wanted these two original minds to interpret, play with and imagine an atmosphere around our own small clothing line- and the time came this summer when we sent our pieces off on a trip to visit them. We sent the box and they created magical lands around our pieces. When we received the photos, it felt like pulling the ribbon off a present- as the contents were completely unknown and a wonderful surprise. Opening them one by one was hugely exciting and we love what they created. Cherry and Home mixed in special pieces from Nong Rak- like the 1960's Chinese butterfly kite above, and others we will share as we post more pictures. Thank you for looking- we hope you enjoy!! <3

Also, we want to thank you - our friends, clients and collaborators - for your support of our collection. We have been overwhelmed by your enthusiasm, kind words, and orders <3 We hold all of that very close to us - it means so much. We see it as an evolving project of different parts, always open to new explorations. Love to you all!!!
