more new eco items!

a.ell design has been having trouble keeping things on the racks this week! Even so, we’ve been working extra hard to keep new and exciting items on our shelves. Some of our favorite items have been reworked with different color combinations, and we have added a new style of skirt to our inventory thanks to Max! As you can see, Angelique is hard at work behind one of our new  skirts, which is paired with a reversible asymmetrical top (seen in Orange and Pink). Whats great about these one of a kind pieces is that most of them can be worn as both skirts and dresses!  Each one is an individually crafted art piece, made with our super soft eco fibers: bamboo, organic cotton, soy, and hemp!
