Did you realize that we are still serving Indian Food every Saturday Night from 5:30-8:30 !!!! My very good friend Nausheen Juma creates a simple, fresh, authentic dish each week and serves it up at a.ell atelier (in biodegradable containers of course )
This week 04/17 she is preparing a vegetable curry and serving it with brown rice for just $7. And always a fresh pot of her delicious hot chai – complimentary!
Nausheen is available as a private chef and for catering events. For more information on Nausheen contact her at nbarister@hotmail.com
We are starting (another) new venture! This week we introduced our ‘a.ell wedding atelier’ – a quaint little section inside the atelier that will be displaying our more formal and wedding attire. We are complimenting the a.ell line with designers that are so unique and incredible that they warrant attention. First on board is Ema Savahl. Here is an excerpt from her website www.emasavahlcouture.com
The Ema Savahl Couture was brought to life by owner/designer Ema Koja, who wanted to combine fashion and art without limitations. By utilizing a strong talent in color combination, patterns and fit, Ema has created a look that has been seen on fashionistas from coast to coast. Kelly Clarkson, Tyra Banks, Paris Hilton and Paula Abdul are just a few of the many Ema Savahl fans that have been spotted.
A former European professional volleyball player never could have expected that one day, she would win the break out award for best new fashion designer in Paris, 2000. Growing up in Albania, Ema was surrounded by her three aunts who worked as designers and tailors, instilling in her a love of fashion, and a keen sense of style. While living in Italy, Ema began to study pattern making and found that her talent for design could not be overlooked. After working with Blue Marina and PARAH, her instinctual talent propelled her to move to Miami where the idea to create the Ema Savahl Couture line became a reality.
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.
