After months of plotting, sewing, organizing, and dreaming, it’s finally here!
This project was inspired by wanting to mail you all something beautiful — an object that would bring our store to life and evoke the nostalgia of Summer.
We hope you like it!

Talking with Mike Abu from Milk Made was one of my favorite and most random interviews yet. (He let me cut his hair!) The piece is finally up… check it out. The perfect kickstart to insect season — which is starting in the studio very soon! And a huge thanks as always to my friends and photographers Josh Wool and Isabelle Selby for the beautiful images.

In the studio we’re all droooooling over these printed smocks by our Parisian print designer Marion Payen. They’re all hand stamped and one of a kind. (And still only $90!)

She’s been working away on some blow-your-mind Summer scarves that will debut in the next newsletter, so be sure to sign yourselves up!

And snatch up these limited edition smocks while they’re here!

Oh, Sunday…. What a day you were.

5 of us piled into a car, with D&D donut holes and carrot vegan cookies (it’s all about the balance), and headed North.

It was one stylish car: Titania Inglis, Study NY, Kordal Knitwear, Liz Spencer, and we met Ambika and Lauren Manoogian there.

We went to Rhinebeck, NY to tour a solar and wind powered (!!!) spinning mill working with farm raised wool and angora goats. It was baby season, so there were newborn lambs and goats galore. The goal was to connect New York designers with another sustainable local manufacturing option. Mission accomplished. And it felt like a mini designer vacation!
