This Is How We Do It

As the wise Montell Jordan once said, "It's Friday night, and I feel all right 
The party is here on the West side ... The summertime skirts and the guys in Kani..." 

While I don't think that anyone wears Kani anymore, we're repping our summertime skirts (vintage jewels and Jade inlaid bags).  The Bolsa Grande in light brown is lightweight and complements any summer outfit while still being large enough to tote your ipad and other gadgets.  So go grab a drink after work and bring along your Bolsa Grande because it can easily transition from a work bag to a bar hopping satchel.

The Bolsa Grande is available here

STELA 9 SS 2012 Lookbook

A few weeks ago our team flew down to Guatemala for about a week to shoot our Spring/Summer 2012 lookbook and to meet with our Guatemalan artisans.  While there, we traveled through church ruins, ran across cobblestone streets, jumped into rainbow color chicken buses and climbed up fantastical tree houses.  

When piecing together this collection we looked at old archaeological journals and sketches for inspirtation.  Because all of our textiles are handloomed and the leather is handworked we wanted this lookbook to have that same organic feel.  

Thank you to our good friend, Joshua Ballinger for shooting the images and creating a beautiful video for us (coming soon) and to our model, Kelly Jacobik, for beautifully representing our aesthetic.  Also, thank you to Earth Lodge for providing us with tree houses, green fields, delicious meals and many laughs. 

I hope you enjoy our journey.
