Whooh its been a busy couple weeks! While preparing for the eco fabulous fashion show at Kilohana we created quite a few new items to feature. Aaron Feinberg took some great shots at the eco show, to view photos visit his site at http://afeinphoto.com/Heath_And_Wellness/Pages/Best_Of.html#13
I am really inspired and grateful to the artists, volunteers, musicians, and everyone who helped in making this another super fun and successful event. Close to 50 of my local Kauai Ohana stepped up once again and I just want to say how amazed I am that you are walking your talk.
The collaboration between Takuyo and I is a really exciting one. She is hand painting on our bamboo and hemp clothing creating some spectacular one of a kind pieces. Takuyo is creating a sea life collection in which we are donating 10% of all sales to our local Save our Seas organization.

A.Fox created a bouquet of really fabulous hair pieces – these gorgeous creations are now available at the atelier.
We started a hip mens bamboo tee shirt line and are working on mens yoga pants as well – first pair out – working on the kinks but should be available soon!
There are 2 new flirty skirts – one made from bamboo knit, its short and sassy – great for these hot summer days, Ive been wearing mine constantly. The other is equally as sassy but made from a limited edition of linen fabrics, great for work, the market, or a dinner party.
Unfortunately these items are net yet available through the website – but stay in touch – hopefully you’ll see them soon. And almost everything was shot at the fashion show so look at Aarons website to see photos, otherwise come on down to Old Kapaa Town and visit us at a.ell atelier.
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.
This weeks featured artist is…….. drum roll please……… its us at a.ell atelier! Along with our current eco hand made projects we will be pulling out pieces from our archives. (I’d like to call it ‘our vintage collection’ but I am only 30 something so – guess not vintage yet). We will be offering an additional 10% on any a.ell design product from 6-9 on Saturday Nov. 21 – that’s in addition to our eco incentive no bag discount! It’s a great time to pick up that piece you’ve been eyeing – a unique hand painted hemp hat, luxurious bamboo yoga pants,comfy hemp drawstring pants, versatile bamboo skirt/dress, a little girls ruffle dress, boys hemp cargo shorts, baby tees, the list goes on and on.
And just to include my far off friends that will miss us out in Kauai – all web orders on Saturday 11/21/09 will be discounted 10% and no shipping cost – All day!
Look forward to seeing you this Saturday at the Old Kapaa Town Art Walk!
