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

a.ell design corsets!

Aloha! My name is Elle (yes, a. ELL. design, isn’t it perfect?), and I’ve only been working here for a few weeks. I’ve been doing lots of odd jobs around the shop, all the while learning just about everything I can about a. ell. design. Mostly, that last part involves touching and trying on every piece of clothing I can get my hands on, from the multifaceted wrap dress, to the simple, but ever so soft, bamboo tees. My most important criteria for clothes in general is that they must be able to be worn with my very old and faded blue-jean cutoffs, so you can only imagine what I thought Angelique’s new corsets should be worn with.

Drop Waist Dress

A new and exciting eco dress to add to the a.ell family! With it’s comfortable scoop neck and cap sleeve (similar to one of our most popular shirt styles) its bound to be your new favorite island dress. Its become a best selling piece due to the flattering drop waist, elongating the torso and showing off those legs. Wear this dress over jeans, pair it with leggings and boots, or for those of us lucky enough to live in the sunshine year around – wear it simply as is! You also have the choice to wear the high scoop neck line in either the front or turn it around and wear high at the back. Of course the bamboo and organic cotton blend fabric is super luxe to touch and that only adds to the reason you must have this Kauai made dress. [more]
