Winston Dress

Why to buy: The Winston Dress, with plunging neckline and chain details, is 100% made of silk in Italy. Ex-model Gabriela Hearst has mastered a balance of practicality and desire with her ready-to-wear and shoes. Inspired by her idyllic childhood on a ranch in Uruguay and her hectic metropolitan life in New York, she consistently offers a demure collection of timeless pieces with an authentic touch.

What we love: Often sustainable fashion is connected with simple design and raw materials, which are not so appealing and wearable. In this case, simplicity is the key of elegance and exclusivity.  The challenge of Gabriela Hearst is to combine sustainability with luxury natural, non-toxic and sustainable fabrics while adding creative design and authentic Italian sartorial craftsmanship. Since launching her eponymous label in 2015, she has been awarded the International Woolmark Prize for Womenswear and the Pratt Institute Fashion Visionary Award, and has been nominated for the CFDA Swarovski Award for Emerging Talent and the CFDA Womenswear Designer of the Year.

Slim Crossbody Bag

Why to buy: We are totally in love with this brand. Continew reuses leather seat covers and leather scraps from the interiors of luxury cars and turns them into new bags. Their sleek and luxurious bags are future-friendly, as they have been upcycled (upgraded & recycled), aligning with their environmental mission. Not only this, the design of the complete collection is amazingly well done.  This slim crossbody bag, for instance, still roomy enough to hold a laptop and documents, can double as a tote when used without the detachable shoulder strap. 

What we love: The leather used by Continew helps us to save the environment. Shopping these products we save resources, reduce waste, save water and contribute to the animal-free movement. We met the creative team based in Seoul, South Korea. We touched the most of their bags. The design and quality is High-End. They told us they started this company from the frustation on seeing top quality leather on car seats buried well before its 30-40 years' lifespan. Now, thanks to Continew, they have a second life.

Brushed Brass Candle Holder - Dot

Why to buy: Inspired by organic forms and shapes, the artisan collection by Tina Frey Designs is translated from the original hand sculpted clay forms into resin and metal.  All the pieces are completely handmade with care.  The brass and metal collection are hand hammered and the edges are softened to achieve the same sculpted feel and DNA as the resin collection.

What we love: Tina draws inspiration from many sources.  The fluid lines of her silhouettes are reminiscent of the blue sea, while the organic contours of each piece emulate the curves of nature.  Creativity blooms from treasures found during travel, and mouthwatering colors spring from translucent popsicles and scrumptious jelly beans. The pieces in the collection are hand sculpted by Tina Frey in San Francisco, California.  Sculpting starts with an idea which focuses on simplicity and function. Hand made molds are created from each design and are used to cast the vessels in small batches by color. Each piece is hand sanded and carries a unique beauty that ensures the quality and integrity of each piece.
