Well, it’s that time again… Magic time! The lovely & talented Jen Smith & I just returned from our biannual trip to Las Vegas for the Magic apparel trade show. Magic is where we find all those lovely dresses, skirts, sweaters & coats. Pool is our most favorite part of Magic though, and where we find the best goodies from independent & eco lines from across the country. This trip we found some exciting new lines we think you are gonna LOVE! Here is a sneak peak of the highlights…

Out of Print- is an awesome T-Shirt line we found that uses the covers from great literary novels as T-Shirt graphics. The artwork is really wonderful & diverse, much like the collection of novels. They even have library sign out cards as the hangtags for their line, so clever!

For each shirt Out of Print sells, one book is donated to a community in need through their partner

Books For Africa.

We Wood makes awesome Men’s watches out of sustainable wood & plants a tree for every watch they sell. We have been looking for watches we could get excited about selling & I think we found it!

RyN RiNa makes lovely felt flowers from felt made from recycled bottles. We got some stunning barretts & rings in wonderful colors coming in for fall.

De La Luna Designs we have been admiring for some time. She does some amazing one of a kind suitcases & purses that are just a bit too high end and fancy for little ol’ us. We did find out she also hand makes some very affordable flasks, business card cases & wallets, all made individually using recycled fabric & decoupage techniques. You will love these vibrant creations!

Slow Loris is a T-Shirt line from the San Juan Islands in Washington. Our northwest neighbors are putting out some truly awesome hand drawn designs that we are in love with! All the designs are hand drawn by Slow Loris’s founder Jessica Lynch & no computers are used in the process.

Their studio & printing press are powered by solar.

Effie’s Heart is an indie fashion line inspired by vintage glamour. We couldn’t resist a couple of her stunning dresses, especially with their super flattering real live adult sizes.

This skirt was also too fun to resist!

Leatherette Heart is an awesome little handmade line with the most adorable bobby pins! Birds perched on large vintage sequins are our favorite!

Charlie’s Leather is an awesome line of leather cuffs & watch bands made in the US at their LA base. We got an amazing assortment of colors & the prices are awesome! We also got some watches from them incorporating their unique leather bands that are under $50 and really cool. In our constant search for men’s/unisex accessories this line was a tremendous find!

Also coming are wonderful new works by some our already favorite indie lines like Fluffyco, Nooworks, Super maggie, Synergy, Ames Bros, Heavy Rotation, Gama Go, Solid Threads, No Star, Poketo & Mary inc.

New tee’s, coats, dresses and accessories scheduled to arrive weekly!
