September has begun to unfold and autumn is just around the corner. Welcome in the new season with some of our favorite orange fashion accessories. Whether it be tangerine, rust, peach, melon, or pumpkin, there is a shade of orange that is sure to add an autumn flair to any outfit.

Color Burst Scarf

The striped pattern of this cozy scarf brings a cascade of bright, autumnal color to any outfit. Each one is woven with brilliant shades of orange, blue, purple, red, and yellow by our French artisan, Anais.

Italian Leather Aventine Handbag

Supple Italian leather in a bright shade of clementine orange is accented with a shining gold linked chain on this handbag from Marco of Italy. This carry-all is great for bringing a pop of playful autumn color to any look.

Annie Rust Wool Fedora

Orange-brown rust wool felt is pressed and shaped on a heated mold before it is adorned with a brown faux leather band and an eclectic mix of feathers. This stylish hat is handmade by Carole, our milliner in New York’s Hudson River Valley.

Desert Dreamer Kimono

To create this vibrant orange kimono, soft woven fabric is printed with crisp florals using traditional wood frame screens. Hand-mixed pigments permanently bond with the fabric, creating a unique and bright pigment-dyed effect. This piece is complete with a patterned border and metallic gold details. Each is designed by Elizabeth of NYC and handmade by her artisan team in India.

Burnt Orange Florentine Suede Bucket Bag

This roomy bucket-style handbag is masterfully handcrafted by Alessandra and Elisabetta of Florence, Italy. These talented sisters rely on the leatherworking techniques passed down to them by their late father as they handcraft each bag from the softest Italian suede in an earthy shade of burnt orange and accent it with braided leather handles and a hand-cut beige suede tassel.

Glistening Leaves Murano Glass Necklace

Valentina and Alessandra fell in love with the art of glass making over a decade ago. Years later, they decided to turn their passion and knowledge for jewelry design into a business that would allow their creative impulses to flow. In their Venetian studio, they handcraft this necklace using topaz-colored Murano glass beads, smaller gold leaf charms, and three larger leaf charms of peachy marbled Murano glass.

Evening Embers Red Jasper Earrings

Growing up amid the exotic natural beauty of Rajasthan, India, Anju developed a passion for design at an early age. She designs these earrings from swirling forms of antique brass accented with glowing red-orange jasper stones. Each pair is then handmade by her artisan team in her native India.

We worked for two years to design our Halloween Polish pottery collection with our friends in Boleslawiec, Poland. Our artisans have been making and preparing the collection since March, exclusively for Uno Alla Volta.

KALICHJACK2014_10

Our exceptionally popular 2014 Polish pottery jack-O’- lantern has been selling beyond our wildest dreams. We are so sorry that we can no longer deliver any new orders of this 2014 edition Polish pottery jack-o’-lantern until well after Halloween. It is absolutely gorgeous and well worth the wait.

Because our jack-o’-lanterns are flying out of our door faster than they can come in, we have created a reservation list for our future polish pottery Jack O’ Lantern editions. You may wish to reserve your 2015 & 2016 edition now, risk free, you may cancel at any time.

artisan, artisan moments, autumn, fall, halloween, handcrafted, one at a time

In cities and small towns alike, Italy’s open-air markets are the place to go for everything from fruits and vegetables to vintage treasures and local crafts. Our artisan, Letizia, scours the markets in and around Florence for both inspiration and authentic materials to bring our charming kitchen witch to life.2013-03-19 18 47 11 (2)

After gathering her finds, Letizia then handcrafts each figure with traditional features and meticulously hand-trimmed and stitched clothing. According to a centuries-old legend, a kitchen witch will bring good luck and ward off bad spirits when hung within the home. Only 140 of our authentic kitchen witch, an Uno Alla Volta exclusive, will ever be made!

We are so proud to bring you this issue – our strongest autumnal offering since our beginning in 2002.

And what a labor of love this has been for everyone involved. For our artisans who bring to life each individual work with their hearts as well as their hands. For our merchants who collaborate with our artisans to create products just for you. (The vast majority of the treasures you will see here are available no where else in the world!) For our creative team who bring our handcrafted treasures to life in the two dimensions of ink on paper (or pixels on a computer screen).

I have always considered myself to be a student of the creative process. Creativity is how many of us experience and express our own individuality. It is, I believe, one of the fi nest ways to fulfill the human potential.

Yet for all the wonders of individual creativity, I have recently discovered that when one can bring together people with very different gifts and meld their strengths and common vision, the result is often just shy of miraculous. So what is my labor of love? Bringing together
these incredibly talented creative forces and watching a whole evolve that is so much greater than the sum of its parts!
