a customers great review

So grateful for the folks that let us know what they think and spread the word! Thank You to Alessia who covered us on her fashionista blog – Fashiongraphia.com .

Alessia writes,

Long time without writing..why? I actually spent two weeks and a half in Hawaii, hanging out and looking for some new material for my fashion reviews.
Did I find something interesting? Yes.
Pick of this week is A.ell Design, eco-friendly fashion shop based in Kapaa, Kauai.

What is absolutely exciting about this atelier?
1. Materials: organic cotton and Bamboo fabrics bring you to the eco-fashion world without shouting, with extreme elegance and style
2. Feeling: it is extraordinary to buy clothes while designers are sewing new models on the back
3. Art: they also sponsor local artists, selling their products in the shop

I advise also to check it out if we are planning a wedding in Hawaii: A.ell Design offer beautiful and original wedding dresses for you to get married in a chic but eco-sustainable way.

So, if you are walking around in Kauai, don’t hesitate: open the door of A.ell Design and you won’t be disappointed.

“Fashion is not something that exists only in dresses. Fashion is in the sky, in the street; fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” – Coco Chanel

If you were not aware of this unique little area, that very few talk about, that has been deemed a thoroughfare of the North Shore traveling to Lihue, just look a little closer to this underground, unique group of inspired entrepreneurs thinking outside the box. Together we will bringing you events as a community, the most consistent one will be the ’1st Saturday in Old Kapaa Town’ formerly known as Art Night in Old Kapaa Town. [Read More...]
