Brand new label this week! Sarafan + Duende is a knitwear label from the gals of Tel Aviv based Sarafan Showroom and knitwear designer Adva Bruner. Their debut SS 12 collection is all about a lacy mesh knit and soft leather piping and accents, and it’s obviously perfect for summer layering. I paired the tee with a bunch of other new spring items for our product shots because it’s so versatile. Anyway, hope you all have a great week!

All new SS 12 items from Correll Correll up on the shop today. The knit circle tee is back along with a really gorgeous ruby red silk dress, and the sisters’ classic colorwheel tee. Much like some of our other designers, the Correll sisters refine their themes and colourways every season, working intensively to perfect their dye treatments and expanding their colour palette gradually

The Dusen Dusen SS 12 collection has arrived at the shop this week! Ellen always comes up with the best prints each season – the Bugs print is my favourite of this collection. We’ve also stocked a couple of her signature backpacks in a paisley and grid print.

In other shop related news, we shot our SS 12 Lookbook over the weekend. We weren’t sure we’d have time to, but we managed (mostly because I always overbook myself-ha)! I brainstormed up something pretty different this go-around so stay tuned. We should have it up in the next couple of weeks. In the meantime you can check out the phone snap I took of the shoot below

Why yes, yes I am on a tan kick. Looking at my Wear Board on pinterest lately it’s become pretty obvious I’ve a fixation. I think it has something to do with trying to add a little visual warmth to the supremely uninspiring lack of colour in the winter landscape. Whatever the unconscious reason, I’m liking it
