Linen: A Closer Look

One look at our Summer Collection and it’s obvious that we’re enthusiastic about this natural fiber. For sweltering summer months, nothing beats the breeziness and breathability of this loose weave – you will literally and figuratively always be cool in linen. Our love of the fabric led us to a natural curiosity about its origins...

Iron vs. Non-Iron: Paul Trible Comments to the WSJ

Wrinkle-resistant shirts have gotten a bad rap. And with good reason: traditionally, they are lumped in with the non-iron “wash-and-wear” shirts that are treated with harsh chemicals that leave the fabric stiff and rough to the touch – imagine buttoning up a tarp every day and you’ll get the idea. In the past we’ve avoided...

Gotta Have Soul: KREWE du optic

Take a few steps down Royal Street in the daylight, and you’re sure to see street performers, palm readers with crystal balls, or even a woman playing the baddest electric violin cover of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.” Amongst the bustle, we sought out a like-minded brand with a minimal yet impactful presence in “The...

One thing’s for certain at Peche in New Orleans: Happy surprises are always guaranteed.
