N2's bike necklace has been incredibly popular. This could be for a couple reasons, one because you surely won't find a necklace like this anywhere else as the French seem to do everything first. But I think the real reason is our conscious effort in our changing society to conserve gas (i.e. save money), make the world a greener place (i.e. cut down on pollution) and get healthier (i.e. making

In Marrakesh there are many wonderful inspiring design houses. We happened to stop in at Bladi Design one day and found ourselves immediately wrapped up in every detail of their showroom. From the multiple traditional Moroccan colorful carpets that covered the floor, to the traditional Moroccan tiling on the walls, there was no square inch left uncovered for the eye to discover. We immediately

As all of our busy summer travel comes to an end, and we are focused now on fresh beginnings of a new school year and holiday season. We couldn't help pay a little tribute to our fellow tourists who may have missed some of the important fashion "no no's". Although, if any of those persons who man not realize that wearing socks with sandals is a touring fashion mistake, one might have picked up on

This beautiful summer bag is hand woven and then hand decorated by local artisans in Marrakesh. In the most recent Free People catalog, they stylized the bag perfectly for a pure bohemian chic look. We too fell in love with this bag and had to have it for our customers (only we have it for 1/2 the price!). We preferred to have the bags made with a woven lace trim, instead of a darker leather trim

French designer Meresine creates unique and sweetly enchanting jewelry pieces for a fun fashion effect. However, each of the three themes that her charmed collections come in, have a slight deeper story behind them. Her Miraculous collection begins with a story in the late 1830 on the street of Rue du Bac in Paris. For the traveler who does not know what's behind door 140 of the Rue du Bac, the

We recently just returned from a little work trip that included stays in Marrakech, Barcelona, the South of France and Los Angeles. Our time in each place was unique and memorable, just as one would expect it. But more over, we feel so fortunate having the opportunity to not just visit these places, but to actually immerse ourselves in each respective culture. Having very close contacts in each

The best part of our job is being able to travel when designing or searching out new and creative products. For a couple of weeks now we have been in the city of Marrakech. We just love this city and country as it has so much to offer! The people here are warm and friendly, many coming from families of artisans who have shared their practice with each new generation. Most of the products here are

We are getting excited for our upcoming buying and designing trip to Marrakech! Soon we will be unveiling our new home decorating designs, of which many items are inspired by and handmade from this exotic destination. Of course, we are not the only ones that feel inspired by Marrakech, here are a few recent publications on design and fashion from this magical city. The first being an inside look

One thing we absolutely love about French fashion is their continuous love affair with food. And who can blame them? With an endless supply of yummy French macaroons, chocolate goodies, and sugared crepes on every corner reminding you to stop and enjoy all of the pleasure in life...how could all that eye candy not transcend in everyday fashion?We like to call it, "A handful d'Amour and a pinch

Meresine's children's line is 100% adorable, and 100% made in France. Her playful designs whimsically augment the imagination of our children in an adult world. Army tags simply read "Je suis le heros de maman", which translate as "I am the hero of my mom". More fun is to be had with her creations. Now available at Couleurs de Saison.

We love falling in love with undiscovered french designers, and we love it even more when we find designs that utilize traditional artisan practices, but with a special fresh twist. Our new Nihal collection, magically combines leather, wool, taffeta and organza using a traditional method of Moroccan weaving that creates a shimmery and durable fabric. The results are stunning bags, clutches and

What is so inspiring to me about the Christian Dior 2010-2011 Fall Winter Couture collection, is that it was full of color and fantasy! Not something you expect to see for a fall and winter season. Rich in texture, full of life, perhaps in our present world and economy, instead of always reaching for solid black, we can all be inspired to have a little more fun and add a splash of color this

We love discovering unique and fantastically beautiful collections.

New values, new consumer habits…new ways to spice up our existence.

We have been working with local artisans and designers in Marrackech for over 7 years. On a recent trip, we were sharing the city with the entire production crew and actresses for the movie Sex in the City 2, to be released in May 2010. The girls in high heels shut down the famous medieval shopping center, the Souk. It was rumored that each shop owner was given a couple thousand Euros in order
