The Organik team let me know that they have recently partnered with etown studios in Chinatown {1164 Smith Street} on Oahu. This means that you can now find their line of clothing and accessories for guys and gals at their space full-time in addition to their online shop and other retailers.

organik.

Every trip home to the islands reminds me of how lucky and proud I am to be a Hawaiian kid. I was born and raised on O‘ahu and each visit home makes me long for the next one. I ask myself if I’m ready to head back {it’s really only been a couple of years}. With this recent trip home I stocked up on local snacks {in addition to my feeding frenzy while there} and omiyage for friends. Along with that I brought two shirts that were made locally. I wished that I had remembered to find some of these fabulous shirts by Organik that I’ve had my eye on and will just have to place my order online.

Brian and Ed, the guys behind Organik, use sustainable, organic and recycled materials in their collection such as bamboo or natural rubber. The designs are all reminiscent of beach life and the pieces look super comfortable and wearable. Here are some items from their Summer 2010 line…

These are of a limited edition featuring their “swallowtail” design. They are fair trade made from natural rubber and are biodegradable.

Alright, who wants to go to the beach now?

ps – there’s also a sale going on at the shop.

no high-heels, thanks.

At work I’m on my feet all day and usually walk a lot. So it’s easy to see why high-heeled shoes don’t exactly play a large role in my wardrobe. I mean, standing at work and often stepping on and off of a foot stool along with hoofing it around the city streets {and hills, don’t forget the hills!} really do not call for me slipping into any stilettos, right? I am, of course, always on the hunt for flats that are comfy and cute. I never thought about moccasins until I came across Katie’s shop, Darlingtonia Moccasin Company. Each pair is made by hand and sewn on an entirely manual antique sewing machine {so awesome, check out her Singer 29k here}. I love the intricate detailing and think these would make a sweet addition to any girl’s shoe collection…

Darlingtonia

1. Green & Purple Tiger Lily: $129.00
2. The Hitchmocc – The Hitchcock Moccasin: $129.00
3. Teal Tiger Lily: $129.00

5. Forest Green Plain Jane: $119.00
6. Concrete & Aqua Tiger Lily: $129.00

Packaging

ps – I had wanted to mention the beautiful packaging that Katie does. Each pair of moccasins is sent packaged in a reusable hand stamped cotton drawstring bag inside a hand screenprinted box. If that isn’t another reason to get your pair…
