This week your crazy too miss! Dia and Nikki from Bliss Salon are bringing in the luxe providing us an evening complete with raw chocolate foot soaks, chocolate reflexology foot massage, and essential oil chair massage! Back in our workspace we’ll be handmaking Valentine cards – bring dried flowers, old magazines, ribbons, ???? The Malama Pono All Stars will be back as well – outside the atelier creating the most unique evening you’ve had in a long time. So grab your sweety and join us at a.ell atelier saturday evening 5-9.
Make sure and check out our newest items added to website this week. One of which is a fabulous new bamboo dress. It’s quite a flattering piece on many different shapes. We make it out of our super scrumptious bamboo/organic cotton blend. On top of all that it is also versatile in that you can either wear it with the V-Neck in front or back and switch out to the elegant cowl neck which lays beautifully either direction.
We also added some tee’s and tanks for the ladies and long sleeve tees for the gents that are printed with art by our local favorite John Howard.
Did you know that 85% of everything in our store is made here on Kauai – really made! The other 15% are items that I think deserve attention, company’s that are using sustainable practices or maybe great artist friends from times gone by. It really has become my newest passion to support the companies I feel greatful too. I encourage everyone to think about what they are supporting when looking for gifts and clothing. Its a small way to make a really big difference.
We are now carrying Caitlin Ross Odom’s exquisite handmade jewels. She uses beach glass and sunrise shells and creates the most beautiful earrings, bracelets, and rings. View Caitlin’s pieces in the atelier or at www.caitlinrossodom.com if you can’t make it to Kapaa.
