About Muskhane

"Muskhane means smile in Nepalese, and it is the warmth of the Himalayan people and the beauty of their work that have inspired Thierry and Valerie Billot to share their discoveries with the world." Quoted from Muskhane.
Juniper has carried Muskhane for a few years and it quickly became a favorite. The stylish but simple silhouettes in basic and bold colors are what drew us to the line as did their whimsical home items. The cashmere is so soft and the felt items so fun we can't help but smile! Their shop in Paris, very near the Dominique Picquier shop, has colorful and festive window displays which caught our eye. Working with designers who pay fairly and create responsibly is important to Juniper. We were thrilled to learn that Muskhane is a socially responsible company. They invest in the artisans they work with and the community they share as well as the wider world around them. Pieces from their S/S '13 home and fashion collections are below!

 

 

About le.sens

le.sens, from Hamburg, Germany is an exquisite line of scarves and shawls based on the hand drawn illustrations of designer Leonie Sens. Upon first glance her pieces are bold and colorful but on closer inspection they offer a whole world of intricate detail; butterflies, bees, animals and plants are to be discovered! le.sens uses the highest quality fabric available and works in an environmentally sound way on a small scale. Each unique and timeless piece is made by hand in the Hamburg studio. We are thrilled to be one of the few shops in the U.S. representing le.sens.

About Two

Two is a small collection of effortlessly chic pieces made in Brooklyn, NY. The designer, Monica Patel-Cohn, was inspired by her Indian and Italian background to create her own designs using handmade Indian textiles. After visiting Monica in her DUMBO studio last Fall we quickly joined the fans of her easy to wear stylish caftans, tunics and dresses. Two pieces are one size and fit most shapes easily. They are perfect for a sunny beach getaway!
