Stylist Nicole Gulotta’s Nomadic Thread Society Loves ‘Aish is a collaborative relationship between Nicole’s designs and those at her friend Nupur’s blossoming company in India. “We are developing new ideas all the time, and working in conjunction with the finest artisans throughout India – sometimes employing entire families and parts of villages.” This season they are working with Jamdani, the finest of muslins and a 2000 year old Bengal weaving technique. The finished pieces are amazing: beautiful, handmade scarves which embody the exotic destinations that they were inspired by.
A few styles we love are the Roxy shawl/maxi scarf which is made of super fine muslin with woven border details and the Saatvik triangle scarf rani which is made of 100% Jamdani muslin with Asamase border motifs and pompoms. Each one is different from the next. Manufacturing is in NYC.

We just received more of the styles we love from AG for spring and summer. The Stilt roll-up is like a boyfriend jean but a little slimmer in the leg, which can be rolled up or down.
The Piper crop is a slouchy slim cut that feels like you’ve had them for years, thanks to AG’s ozone technology washing process. The brand prides itself on this eco-friendly technique by using less water, chemicals and energy to create all of the denim jeans. The result is denim that is broken in perfectly, with the vintage lover in mind.
For a slightly different look, we also have the twill ankle legging in earth tones, sulfur caramel and sulfur green. These colors are perfect for someone who wants a quieter version of the colored denim trend.

Back in the store for summer are Jadetribe’s eco-friendly and fairly traded totes and beach bags! The Samui stripe hand-woven tote is perfect for the beach, with a lovely Ikat pattern and beaded shell charm.
Also great for an afternoon out is the Nicole tote which is made of organic cotton and natural dyes by a village of women in Laos.
The dyes are created naturally in their village and the bags then take three days to weave, using traditional hand looming techniques. “A little bit beach-y, a little bit bohemian jet set, and 100 percent natural and ethical, JADEtribe is the true embodiment of fashion with a conscience.”

The scarves are washed, torn and stained to perfection which makes each one special and lovely.
