//Acrimony

The Elvestedt sisters always have a trick up their sleeves. This season, they asked why make a plain scarf when you can make it in a fantastic shade of mint green using only fruits and spices, on a solar-powered loom, and with a specialty dye process that consumes only a fraction of a fraction of the water that others require? Woven from a featherweight micromodal and silk yarn, this scarf feels exactly like what a big bite of fresh, cold mint ice cream tastes like and as far as we’re concerned, that’s about as close to a magic trick as fashion gets.

Nightiming // cold nights + winter chills call for the right accessories

There’s something positively British about how Folk approaches design. Classic styles are updated with quirky details like colored woven fabrics, corozo nut buttons, embossed leather, and more. Our first batch of accessories have arrived, including belts, keyrings, lanyards, and hats. Available in store and online now.

Thankfully we didn’t have to deal with Hurricane Sandy, but it sure got us thinking about bundling up and getting cozy. And as luck would have it, we’ll soon be receiving A Peace Treaty’s fall collection, entitled “Safar”.

Inspired by wanderers amongst the sands of the the Sahara and in the rocky paths of the Andes. Rich, deep colors are drawn from the earth itself while jolts of vibrant colors and geometric patterns feel almost like precious stones and metals, glimmering in the soil. Luxurious baby alpaca, fine silk, and smooth leather are woven, patched together, and knitted into elegant scarves and stoles.

Here’s a sneak peak at some of the incoming pieces, but don’t forget to shop our current selection of gorgeously patterned silk and silk/cotton scarves, too!

We are on the edge of our seats in anticipation for the new Deadly Ponies collection to arrive at Acrimony tomorrow. The collection this season is Seniorita Bandits, inspired by the Mexican holiday Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). Sugar skulls and painted faces, brightly colored bags with Mexican inspired artifacts. We can’t wait.

The evil geniuses at Cast of Vices have struck gold (or is it plastic?) again with their new range of bracelets and clutches, some of our first pieces in for the Fall/Winter 2012 season. Ridiculously soft lambskin and totally stunning colors make these simple leather goods total knock-outs. They’re already available to purchase online, so we hope you’re already scoring one now instead of reading the end of this sentence.
