Rhinestone rings <3 - for children and adults alike! Pick your color, and it will fit- they are adjustable :) These make fun little gifts and we were also thinking they would be fun additions to Easter baskets.

Tanno coats, Eliurpi hats, pants by P. Le Moult, Repettos with socks and striped cushions from West Africa <3
Tanno
We are sharing more photos here of the Tanno coats mentioned below. Designed and made by Don Kimon Lightner, these are very special pieces that we are honored to have in our shop. The craftsmanship, the vintage fabrics used, the buttons, the sashiko... all these elements makes these coats so beautiful. Each one is one of a kind. This one shown in the photos above is made of a vintage khaki cotton with an Indian cotton plaid lining. The stitching is all by hand- including the designer's sashiko stitching all along the sleeves and pockets. It has antique buttons and hand stitched button holes. It's a stunning piece and looks great on. There is a photo of Heather wearing it in the previous post.
The coat above is made of vintage striped cotton, Indian chambray lining, and a beautiful plaid detailing for the inside pocket and sleeve lining. This has a lovely Peter Pan collar like the one above it. This piece, like all of them is hand stitched and has antique buttons. We love this worn with other stripes like in the photos below.
... and this beautiful coat is made from vintage indigo from Mali, and a brown cotton lining. This piece has a shawl collar with a one button closure. It is stunning on! Hopefully you can see the other details in the fabric and construction in these photos. They are so beautifully made- cheers to Tanno! We have watched along the process of the construction of these coats and it has been inspiring to see Don's attention to detail, his careful choices and the many hours of work he put in to each piece (40 hours of sashiko in the first coat!). We have these available at the shop- if you have any questions or would like more photos, we are here and happy to help.

More fun with Isolde and Heather. Here they wear Campana hats by Eliurpi, P. Le Moult striped pants, handstitched coats by Tanno, pink socks by Bonne Maison, pink Repettos and cushions from West Africa. These coats are a special collection, all designed and hand stitched by Don Kimon Lightner, under his small label Tanno. Each one is truly a work of art- with vintage and new textiles carefully chosen and put together to create stunning one of a kind coats. Don hand stitched every piece- including the button holes and all the sashiko. We will post closeup photos so you can see all the beautiful details <3

Thinking of Spring and all the sunshine it brings <3 In the photos above, Heather and Isolde wear white cotton ensembles with shawls and hats. Isolde wears a dress by Hazel Brown- this is white cotton with a hand dyed silk collar. It is such a striking dress. She has on a shawl from Jeanette Farrier, a cotton batiste boy shirt tied around her waist by Pip Squeak Chapeau, an Eliurpi hat. The shawl is made in India where Jeanette works closely with a group of women to hand stitch all the quilting. Jeanette hand picks the vintage textiles she uses and puts them together in stunning combinations. They are truly beautiful- and we love these muted, soft tones. Heather also wears a Jeanette Farrier shawl and an Eliurpi hat... with a combination of pieces by us. There is the white tie back skirt, the white raglan shirt, and a new piece we've been working on that ties on the sides and has a small ruffle in the front. In one of the photos of Isolde, she has a John Robshaw quilted pillow case around her shoulders... as we always mention, we love it when things can be used different ways- who makes the rules!? And I will say... this is not just for the photo - pin that case at the front and you have a stunning collar.
We want to send a huge thank you to our good friends Heather and Isolde for working with us and making this day fun! Isolde is about to head out for a big life adventure and we wish her an incredible, fulfilling time <3
