I am so excited to announce that Ivy & Co. head bands, boho wraps and clothes pins are now sold in a. ell designs & atelier! The shop is located on Kauai in Old Town Kapaa (with a new store opening soon in Portland!) I've known the owner for about 7 years through our businesses (her store, my dance classes), so I was so excited when everything lined up for me to put my products in her shop.

My vision, his drilling, then he painted it, (without my permission, and I about had a cow), but it turned out great. You know me, I was going to paint it black! Regardless, it turned out awesome. It's a wooden picture frame and a wooden box I found at the Habitat Restore.

For starters, they carry a.ell designs (aloha shirt on the left, and the polka dot shirts in the middle).

I love this quote from the a. ell website:

"Enjoy Island wear with a classic flair, fabrics that are environmentally sensitive, and clothing designs that not only look “hot” but are cool, comfortable and fun to wear.  High quality, naturally eco-friendly, exquisite fabrics and guaranteed workmanship are hallmarks of an a. ell design. Specializing in casual island wear for men, women and children, beach style wedding dresses and home decor."

The next time you pass through Kapaa or Portland, hit up a. ell design & atelier
