Thanks, Congress. That was a close one!
Spirithouse’s less expensive collection, Everyday Wear, has come in and there are skirts, jackets and beautiful knit tops as well as some techno fabric pants and a great vest. I even got a short skirt that you can put over leggings. It has already started to sell, so come soon so you can see these great pieces. (I know, I couldn’t believe that I bought a short skirt either, but I sold one already so there you go. Who knew?)
What a surprise: Peter O Mahler arrived on Thursday and it is one of my most favorite lines this fall. I have pictures of the dresses and jacket below and at the side. It is a lot less money than last year thanks to the rep from the US, Kelly. She persuaded them to come down in price to broaden their appeal and yet none of the quality or great packable fabrics were sacrificed. It is very sophisticated. Also, in September as soon as I confirm the date, Kelly is bringing the spring line to DC for you to see, try on and order. She said it is fabulous and I believe her.
The Ray Harris coats and shawls/throws were shipped last Thursday. I am hoping that they will get here by Friday just in time for the weekend and of course the very hot weather. I AM OPEN THIS SATURDAY from 12-5 so if you want to see them (email me to make sure they arrived) come over as they were literally the talk of the show. They are the fleece coats that he makes out of soda bottles but this year they look like mink. The lighter color looks vintage. Even in the coldest weather with a sweater or suit jacket underneath they will be warm enough. AND all my EPA and Interior customers will be glad that they are repurposed and not real fur. They are really really beautiful.
New felt necklaces arrived today from Barbara de Jounge in navy, charcoal, red and white.
Lots of new handbags have come in. There is a copy of the Birkin bag as well as great totes in brown, black and smaller bags in teal, brown and black. There are some faux fur ones too. Just about all of them are under $98.
I was in New York yesterday stocking up on more Manouk for fall and I got some beautiful new pieces from them. They should be here soon as I had them ship me ASAP! I also got leggings from Comfy and more tees in black and white so if anyone wanted some, let me know and I will add you to my list. They will be here by the end of September. There were a few new pieces from Sun Kim. I still have some Sun Kim left in the long vest and there are pants and skirts and a few pieces of the back zip jumper/dress in their new mocha color. Come before they are all gone! I have one black tee in black in small if someone wants to call dibs.
Lastly, aren’t you glad you are nearing the end, there are lots of great pieces on sale including jewelry and bags so if you want something new for August parties come in soon!
Hope to see you this week or Saturday. Gallery 555 will be open too!
