Matta Scarves


It's fashion week in N.Y.C. and we're celebrating by donning our favorite Matta scarves. These blends of wool and silk are the perfect combination for the breezy Fall weather. There's even a few choices for the lady who prefers pashmina. Mmmm...so cozy.

Boot Crush...N.D.C and MOMA.




Wow, we are in love. Charming handmade styles from Belgian designer N.D.C. and Italian house MOMA arrived last week. Now it's only a matter of selecting the perfect ensemble to showcase these fellas. We think this is a pretty fabulous way of doing it.

New Treasures!


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."

Brand New Il Bistonte, Sendra Boots and Francesca Lacagnina




Hi Folks! Things are buzzing here at A Mano. So much to tell you about! First, we just received some terrific new boots by a family-owned Spanish company called Sendra. These hot little numbers are made with full grain leathers and Goodyear welts for a comfortable yet completely sturdy fit. I tried them on and fell head-over-heels in love. Pun intended.

Also just received some lovely, lovely new bags from our favorite Italian artisans, Il Bisonte. They are even more beautiful in person. The clutches especially are very cool. See the store for more photos and details.

Last, but most certainly not least, we are anticipating the arrival of some gorgeous new pieces from local Mount Baker jewelry designer, Francesca Lacagnina. More info to come.
