Umeboshi Highlight - Argila Lace Tie Sandal
May 23 2009 @ 12:00:00 PM

This Sandal makes us wish we were riding the ferris wheel at Coney Island, or traipsing the boardwalk in Santa Monica. Soak up the sun in these 20's style lace-up sandals by Argila. We just love the soft grey colour and white-washed built-in wedge.

Lace Tie Sandal $315 - handcrafted in Spain

Our Current Favourite for Men: Tibet by Cydwoq
May 22 2009 @ 12:00:00 PM

One of our favourite styles for men has been going strong since the 1960's - the desert boot.  This casual classic transcends "trendy," just like Cydwoq.   

Tibet $340 - handcrafted in California 

We continue to adore Shofolk.....
May 18 2009 @ 12:00:00 PM



Shofolk was born in 2004 as the sister footwear brand to their Folk clothing collection, with this simple idea in mind - to create shoes that their friends would like to wear and enjoy.

Handcrafted in Portugal and made from natural raw leathers, these shoes are built for comfort, but with a fun aesthetic and attention to detail.

While we tried our best to capture Shofolk's amazing style, texture and detail in these photographs, we truly believe they should be seen up close, held, tried on, and lived in!

Bee $340

Eve $315

Sidsel $350

Bensimon: A Family Story

At the end of World War II, Serge and Yves Bensimon's grandfather started a business of importing American second hand clothes in France.

In 1980, his two grandchildren decide to follow this tradition and founded the Surplus Bensimon. Traveling the world, they bring back uniforms and work clothes that they customize with their personal touch.

In 1984, the first Bensimon Collecion was born. It was a line for men and women inspired by military and travel. It was colourful, casual, elegant and functional.

A symbol of this success story, La Tennis Bensimon, with it's hundreds of colours, has immediately been adopted by the fashion community and naturally became in 25 years, a "must have" in the wardrobes of both men and women.

We have just received a new shipment of "Tennis Elastique" in both khaki & coral, as well as "Ballerine" in white with green piping. We're looking forward to the arrival of both "Mid" & "Tennis Lacet" for men & women later this week. See you soon!

Tennis Elastique $55

Ballerine $80
