It's mid-November and Seattlelites are bundling up! This season, we are happy to have lots
to choose from to cover your chilly feet.
Antipast, the Japanese shop favorite has some great sparkle and zig zag pattern for you. Or, try Smartwool if you want something a bit warmer and thicker. Made with a blend of wool and nylon, these socks are comfortable and wash quite well. They make a great gift, too for the loved ladies in your life.

Antipast tan and black "Abstract" paired with Coclico "Banain".

New Jewelry Designer Monica Castiglioni Arrived

2010-11-02T14:29:00.000-07:00

When a particularly discerning customer walked in sporting an amazing bronze ring I immediately inquired who it was. Turns out it was from Milanese designer Monica Castiglioni and I was headed to Milan for a shoe buying trip the very next week. Kismet! We are all completely wowed by these heavy duty solid bronze pieces (and some silver) that speak to modernity and certain primitiveness at the same time. Here is just a sample, come by the shop to try them on. They are all very powerful pieces!

Splish Splash

New Jewelry: Rosa Maria

2010-06-14T16:52:00.001-07:00

Hi folks, Nealy here, guest blogger. I am so excited to bring the Lebanese jewelry collection Rosa Maria to A Mano! I have been obsessed with this work for a few years now and on a recent buying trip to Paris I finally got to connect with the artist! I find in Designer Rosy Aborous' work some truly unusual combinations of influences that I just haven't found anywhere. Some pieces elude to bold ethnic jewelry, others clean modern, even industrial design and still others fine filagree work. All manage to come off as totally authentic, a little badass and sophisticated. She works in yellow and rose gold, diamonds and semi precious stones and silver. I am so happy to share them with all of you!

Tangled Up In Blue

2010-05-23T15:14:00.000-07:00

New Spring treats from Jamie Joseph. Aqua and sea blue chalcedony, lapis, turquoise and rainbow moonstone. Please call us with any questions!

Girl Crush...

2010-05-22T11:06:00.000-07:00

A little early summer sun on our door step makes us truly appreciate the season's strappy sandals. It's a particular swoonfest with these beauties from Cynthia Vincent. Take them on a park-bound picnic, walk on the beach, or farmer's market adventure.

Hey folks, just a heads up. We sold out of most of our fall shipment from Fiorentini+Baker but our re-order arrived. Phew. Check it out while sizes are still available. Also we got a cool new ankle boot in from Spanish company Sendra.

Spring (yes, SPRING) Inspiration

2009-11-22T14:23:00.000-08:00

Cacherel's Spring '10 line knocks our socks off (pun intended). The palette of nudes, pinks and blacks are so fresh! It's a lovely departure from this stormy and very wet fall weather we've been having. So, we're dreaming of exposed toes and picnicing in the park with these beauties. Sigh...

A Blog About The Clog

2009-11-12T17:09:00.000-08:00

Our favorite Vialis clog boot! We plan on jumping in many puddles with these sweeties. And cocktailing. And running the kids to school. And going to see that amazing band play. And just about everything in-between...

Jamie Joseph Trunk Show Saturday, Dec. 5th!

2009-11-02T13:11:00.001-08:00

Delightful Lace-Ups

2009-10-25T16:12:00.000-07:00

Super-jazzed about our new Corso Como Carrot shoe. So super comfortable and easy-to-wear.
In addition to these beauties are Cydwoq's Fight boot, which is equally comfortable but slightly more modern and edgy.

Timeless Androgyny

2009-10-19T13:51:00.000-07:00

We're quite taken with this season's round of androgynous looks. Our plan is to channel our inner Annie Hall via Elsa's olive oxford and MOMA's gray wingtip.
For more inspiration, read a terrific article about Lucas Ossendrijver, a Lanvin Homme designer here.

We're thrilled to have local designers, Si and Helen's delicious, cozy goodies in the shop. Not only is Rain + Jack made in Seattle with love, but they also happen to be a great gift idea as well.

She's Got Legs...

2009-10-11T15:40:00.000-07:00

Although it's nice to cozy up with wool socks and cabled tights, we are tres' inspired by these bare legs of Fall......Fabulous!

(Photos courtesy of Cafe' Mode)

Pump Perfection

2009-10-04T15:10:00.000-07:00

In addition to sporting Fall's best boot, we believe it's also sensible to focus on a classic pump. We think these varying heel heights are great contenders...

American in Milan

2009-10-02T14:31:00.000-07:00

Just got back from a buying trip in Milan! Found lots of inspiring shoes for Spring at A Mano - and just plain inspiration. My new favorite spot: Spazio Rossana Orlandi. An amazing showcase of modern furniture and design in an old tie factory. Dreamy!

New Treasures!

2009-08-29T10:51:00.000-07:00

A Mano is very excited to present a new addition to our jewelry case, exquisite work by Francesca Lacagnina. Inspired by nature and the jewels of antiquity, Francesca creates pieces that are simultaneously old and new. We're drawn to her amazing attention to detail, extraordinary craftsmanship and quality materials. See the one-of-a-kind, emerald cut, rough diamond ring set in 18 carat gold shown above.

"Everything is connected. 'That’s what I love about jewelry,' she says. 'It encompasses history, mythology, personal feelings. It connects with every culture and speaks to it. It connects us with the meanings of stones, their healing qualities.' The forms of antiquity and of the natural world that find their way into Francesca’s pieces are transformed by a modern sensibility, into jewelry that’s fresh and contemporary, but never loses sight of its roots."

Chie Mihara, Ananas and Antipast Socks

2009-08-16T16:25:00.000-07:00

More fall lovelies keep rolling in here...stay tuned for staff picks for fall. In addition to the charming Chie Mihara Cibeles and Sawon Bag, our current favorites are the Charo and Ananas' Kira.

Visit to Milan

2008-09-25T15:19:00.000-07:00

I Have to say that one of my favorite things about the shop is the bi-annual buying trips to Milan. An obsession with fashion is everywhere -from the billboards to the impossibly glamorous people on bikes. I found myself on longs walks just window shopping with an ever-present gelato in hand, happy as a clam. The fur purse is probably the most decadent thing I saw along with many beautiful (and fancy fancy) clothing shops for children. Had to share.
