Many of our more popular items sell out quickly. Our long-time customers have learned to shop immediately to ensure they pick up our great seasonal styles before they sell out.

Rarely, an item will come in not as originally represented by the vendor and we choose not to stock garments that don't pass our rigorous Quality Control testing.

 

Batiking is an ancient process of using resists and hand-applied dyes to decorate fabric. Batiked items are unique and one-of-a-kind. Each garment is batiked or painted by hand before being laid out in the sun. Variations in color and pattern are expected and in fact, are one of the celebrated features of artisan-crafted garments.
