You’d think that my current move/ living situation would give me more free time, however I feel like I’ve been running around incessantly ever since. For those of you who have e-mailed me with link exchanges, I promise to update my links this weekend. For those with site suggestions, I’m (embarrassingly) still in May and have no real method to my madness when it comes to opening e-mail, but I promise I do read all of them. To Mr. Hanley and Genevieve, I promise I’ll be a better person. By the way, you’re both invited over for wine, cheese, and brainstorming. (For those of you who don’t know Mr. H and G, you will!)
Anyway, now that we’re through all the “housekeeping” stuff (don’t you hate that expression?) it’s time for the fashion. Today I bring you, Turk + Taylor.
Turk+Taylor is a little homegrown business poised to do big things. So far they’ve produced two collections of unique and charming hand-dyed organic t-shirts and a bolder, snappier more refined third collection that includes hoodies, skirts, and tailored shirts. Their newest collection combines a fresh vintage-inspired throwbacks with modern pieces. Each piece is hand-dyed using natural fibers. Keeping with the brand’s philosophy of creating a unique product, favoring quality over quantity, all styles are limited editions, and all pieces are hand-numbered.
From designers Mark and Andrew:
From color to graphics to fit, we grapple with every detail. Sometimes no-brainers, often heated debates, especially when perfection of the product is at heart. Navy stripe tickings, neon green silk linings, fun pocket fabrics, and imported Italian buttons are just a few details that sprouted from these arguments. Even what to name these babies—this season the styles take on the names of spring greens and lettuces. And the tag is a sewn pouch containing extra buttons for the garment and a handful of sow-worthy organic treviso seeds.
These little gems are hand-crafted the old-fashioned way, with love and sweat. Our salute to the artisan effort. Your chance to shine.
I really like their tailored Spring 08′ collection, and I think you’ll find their tee’s charming as well!
