Practicing poses, changing clothes…generally just getting some fabulous work done.

//JUST IN: LD Tuttle Shoes

Fri, 27 Aug 2010 18:18:00 -0700

Oh.

My.

God.

You guys. They’re here. We’ve honestly been going crazy waiting (and obsessively watching the UPS tracking) for our first season of shoes and I think you can see why. LD Tuttle’s shoes are jaw-droppingly gorgeous and totally different. No boring basic pumps here; only lovingly crafted shoes hand made in Italy and designed in New York. We’re sorry we made you wait over two years for us to start carrying shoes, but believe me — it was sooooooo worth the wait.

From left to right: The Lean, a leather wrapped clog with a back buckled strap; The Split, a strapped sandal with deceptively dainty-looking suede mesh inlay; and The Weave, a show-stopping heeled boot with textured and smooth leather panels and a center back zip.

From left to right: The Shifter, LD Tuttle’s ultra-clever transformable boot that goes from a tall boot to a super easy-to-wear short boot; and The Push, our favorite boot of the season, which features a wrinkled leather upper that you can pull or push to style as you please and an insanely tall wedge platform.

Now, ladies of San Francisco, you have to promise not to fight each other over these, okay?

It is totally okay for you to be super jealous of our towering wall of Japanese candies. But you are free to swing by and snack on some gummies while you shop. But don’t say we didn’t warn you that mango gummy candies are totally addicting.

Odyn Vovk AW10

Thu, 26 Aug 2010 18:32:17 -0700

Completely, thoroughly, utterly impressed by Austin’s new collection. We just received the Melton Wool Long Coat, the Green Wool Patch Jacket, the Terry Pullover and the 13 Loop Waxed Denim from the Odyn Vovk AW10 collection. The Melton Wool Coat is absolutely amazing. Long and slender, with definition and shape. It’s warm enough to sleep in, rad enough to travel to Antwerp in. $943

I’m obsessed with the punk influence of this jacket. It sits short, zips tight, has frayed edges, but looks like an expensive piece of work. $540

Similar to the OV Hoodie, this Terry Pullover has the slub on the outside, soft side on the reverse. The fit is slim and long, with slit pockets and a giant hood. $286

The denim really turned out amazing. This is Odyn Vovk’s signature 13-loop Japanese denim, with a wax coating. The finish is a bit shiny but will wear down quickly into the best waxed denim you’ve ever owned. $288

Don't Get Tied Down

Thu, 26 Aug 2010 17:31:18 -0700

Unless it’s by one of these new Gitman Brothers Wool Ties. We just received the best accessory to your white button down. Throw on a flannel chalk strip tie, a thick wool solid tie, or a skinny multi colored tie. You won’t look tied down, just buttoned up.

$88 each.

be on your Best Behavior

Sun, 22 Aug 2010 16:40:36 -0700

Sometimes I wonder if I should just up and leave the US, take up needle point or flower arranging in another country. Mostly because of my whimsical obsession with the Norwegians and their fun, relaxed take on fashion. Bold prints, wide stripes, not so common shapes, and easy materials. I just don’t want to be wearing this box shaped, angular, harness thing all the time to be on trend. Check out Best Behavior from Danish designers Marie Ørberg and Malene Brøchner. I love the prints, the stripes, and the easiness of it all. Like flower arranging.

Gitman Brothers Vintage - Fall

Fri, 20 Aug 2010 16:32:30 -0700

Gitman Brothers Vintage has delivered a beautiful Fall package filled with plaid flannels, thick oxfords and best of all, purple. When’s the last time you bought a purple oxford? Well now is the perfect time.

//JUST IN: Flutter by Jill Golden

Fri, 20 Aug 2010 11:00:00 -0700

There’s really few things more satisfying than receiving a small little box and finding a treasure trove of shiny new things. And there’s few things newer than introducing everyone to a new label at Acrimony.

With Flutter, New York jewelry designer Jill Golden combines the street-chic ethos of the Big Apple with inspirations drawn from her global travels. The casual elegance of Parisians strutting down Saint-Germain, the graceful curl of Arabic, the ancient beauty of Ionic columns in Greece — it all comes together in brilliant brasses, silvers, and gunmetals.

Felix rings in oxidized silver, gold

A chunky band supports a wicked nest of spheres, spikes, and stones. The bright metals and geometric shapes make this cocktail ring an absolute knockout.

Baylor bracelet in brass

Who knew something as practical and austere as an ID bracelet could look so good? Reworked in brass with extra-chunky chainlinks and a sprawling combination of beads, stones, and delicate spheres, the Baylor lets everyone know exactly who you are.

Jackson pendant in brass

This chunky pendant, with a triply repeated sphere and spike motif, is full of little charms. Strung on a delicate beaded chain the Jackson with a single asymmetrically set stone, the Jackson is that rare statement piece that’s super wearable.

Jana earrings in brass

Drawing on both her namesake butterfly and the sloping curves of Moroccan architecture, the Jana earrings are a perfect blend of shape and sparkle. Three chunky open shapes are set with two rows of stones that radiate out from a large, central crystal.

Auguste earrings in oxidized silver, gunmetal

Stripped down to a startlingly simple shape, the Auguste throws punk rock, Art Deco, and vintage influences into a blender on HIGH. These earrings remind you of something you grandmother would have passed down to you…if your grandmother had been a French bohemian who time-traveled to the punk-era England.

Until these sick pieces get added to the webstore the only way to get your hands on them is to either visit us in person or e-mail us at info@shopacrimony.com.

Let's Face It

Fri, 13 Aug 2010 17:32:44 -0700

Summer is never coming to San Francisco. Mother nature has simply forgotten about this town. We haven’t had a warm day since that one day back in June, and now it’s been stated that it’s the coldest summer since ‘71. SHIT that was way before I was born, so for me, it’s officially the coldest summer ever. Thank goodness I have these to look forward to next week. Yeeee! New cardigans at Acrimony by Soyun.

Generic Man Sp11

Fri, 13 Aug 2010 11:54:59 -0700

Hello People~
These Generic man shoes have been stomping around in my head for 2 weeks now. I’m obsessed with the cognac wingtip with Vibram sole. A bit chunky, a diversion from the super skinny/low profile oxfords that have been stealing the scene for so long. Slightly reminiscent of a Visvim shoe I was in love with (until someone started wearing it and it became my most hated shoe), wears a bit like a Red Wing but NOT A REDWING. Italian made, lightweight, pebbled leather and most of all, a refreshing style for the gentleman.

And then there’s him. More Vibram sole but with a thick canvas upper. One piece top panel, white trim, perfect for warm weather shorts and tee’s. Hopefully these will be sitting in our shop for you to see next Spring.

xoxo

Denim Shirt Daily

Fri, 06 Aug 2010 17:58:08 -0700

My friend Mandy said to me the other night, “I’ve never seen you wear the same thing twice except for that denim shirt…”

This is a gross misconception as I am always wearing the same things. I covet, love, re-wear and repeat. But the fact that she actually noticed the repeat of the denim shirt means that I have been wearing it to death. Noted.

It’s just such an easy piece, and goes with everything. It’s so comfy, can be buttoned or left open, and is instant cool at any moment. So finally we are getting the most perfect denim shirt in the shop for you to also add to your rotation. Check out the new IRO denim shirts in 2 washes. These are part of a special capsule collection that was only made for the Paris stores (and Acrimony, apparently). $175, in stores next week. Come in, try one on, fall in love, repeat.

//JUST IN: Made Her Think — Acrimony Exclusives

Thu, 05 Aug 2010 11:53:55 -0700

This set of jewelry has been in the pipeline for quite a while, but now we’re very happy to show off our exclusive set of crystal-embellished jewelry, straight from the workshop of Made Her Think to our door and (hopefully) to your fingers, ears, and wrists! The oxidized silver Talon earrings, Talon Knucklebuster ring, and Talon & Scorpion Bracelet would make for a formidable set of accessories on their own, but we asked Meredith Kahn to cover them with black Swarovski crystals and as you can see below, the results are amazing. If you’d like to purchase any piece from this mini-collection (or if you’re craving the whole lot), feel free to e-mail us at info@shopacrimony.com for inquiries.

//JUST IN: MAKR Fall 2010 — All Cordovan Edition

Sat, 31 Jul 2010 15:47:03 -0700

Everyone at Acrimony is hopelessly in love with what the MAKR guys can craft out of Horween tannery’s beautiful hides, so when we found out that they had gotten their hands on a batch of Horween’s much sought after Cordovan leather, we immediately asked for some. The result? Famous MAKR styles in beautiful (and previously unseen!) Cordovan leathers.

This batch of Flap Wallets comes in the Revello (right), which is a warm, cognac-tinted brown and the indescribable and completely non-photogenic Green (left), which is a green that is dyed super deep and will only grow brighter, greener, and richer as you wear it.

The Angle Wallet is also coming to us in Cordovan in Green (left) and Whiskey (right), a warm medium brown that’s going to look really great once you get a few months of wear in it. The contrast stitching on this batch of wallets is meant to darken over time and if you’re a fan of raw denim, it’ll pick up some indigo along the way, too.

We thought that the Button Tote and the Farm Bag were already enough to love, but the new Farm Rucksack is their crowning achievement to date. With a body padded straps made out of natural canvas it’ll look great after you get some dirt on it. And the adjustable leather shoulder straps, two leather eyelet closures on the front, and roomy pockets throughout, are all a great way to show off the tough, beautiful leather that Horween makes.

Everything came to us in really limited quantities, so if you want anything, please e-mail us right away at info@shopacrimony.com, call us, or just come into the store and get your Cordovan on before anyone else gets a chance to take ‘em.
