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.

5 Fashion Tips As You Transition Your Style From Winter To Spring

With March comes anticipation for the bright and beautiful styles of spring – pretty pastels and floral prints, light and airy fabrics, vacation-ready sun hats, and so much more. Here are 5 tips to consider as you shift your everyday style from winter to spring.

1.) Swap out wool hats for straw

A hat is the finishing touch to any outfit, no matter the season. In the winter we opt for hats to keep us warm, while in the springtime we use them to shelter from the sun’s harmful rays. Gear up for spring by swapping out your warmer wool hat for one made of straw. Did we mention that most of our straw sun hats are packable? They maintain their shape after being packed away, making them perfect for travel. Check out a few of our favorite straw derby hats, straw fedoras, and packable straw sun hats:

The “Claire” Straw Derby Hat

The “Macy” Straw Derby Hat

The “Cassandra” Straw Derby Hat

The “Lesley” Straw Cloche

2.) Pile on some floral prints

Spring is a time for celebrating new life, so it is only fitting that most spring fashion prints are inspired by the rebirth of Mother Nature. Start incorporating pretty floral prints into your outfit to add a bright and beautiful spring flair to any look. An easy way to do this is with an artisan-made scarf! Here are a few to get you started:

Elizabeth’s “Sunny Afternoon” Scarf

“Hydrangea Bouquet” Cotton Scarf

Elizabeth’s “Flower Market” Scarf

“Cherry Blossoms” Silk Scarf

3.) Treat yourself to a new artisan-made handbag

We think any woman who carries a handbag can agree that there is no better feeling than starting fresh. Let’s be honest….our carry-alls sometimes end up quite literally carrying all of our non-essential, extra stuff. Spring is a great time to start fresh by treating yourself to a brand new artisan-made handbag in a springy color or print. Here are a few of our latest:

“Morning Tulips” Tote

“Catania” Italian Leather Crossbody

“Rose Garden” Hand-Beaded Clutch

“Bardini” Italian Leather Handbag

4.) Opt for lightweight layers

“In like a lion, out like a lamb.” The month of March is a time of transitional weather, beginning quite cold and ending mild and pleasant. For all of us here on the Connecticut shoreline, it is a time for dressing in layers that are easy to remove if the day shifts from chilly to warm. Kimonos, wraps, and oversized scarves that double as shawls are great for this! Check out our latest pieces of apparel that are ideal for layering:

Aqua Pull-Through Wrap

“Colors At Play” Kimono

Elizabeth’s “See You At Sunrise” Kimono

“Leopard Jungle” Italian Silk Scarf

5.) Accessorize with jewelry inspired by nature

Complete your spring outfit with jewelry that embodies the most notable signs of spring – butterflies, dragonflies, and flowers. Our latest collection of handcrafted jewelry includes springtime pieces for every woman’s style. Find yours now:

Pastel Rainbow Crystal Dragonfly Necklace

Pastel Rainbow Crystal Dragonfly Earrings

Rose Of Sharon Murano Glass Torsade
