I've come back from a long hard month in China.  I'm happy to report that I have a few amazing articles that I think people will really enjoy. 

One of my favorite pieces from my new collection is a wool felt coat.  Before you roll your eyes and click on another link, it is a relatively light weight coat since it is not lined. 

What makes this coat so special is the gorgeous handcrafted buttons on the front.  I commissioned a Miao hill tribe silversmith in Southwestern China to make buttons out of earrings he makes for the local economy.  I think it looks absolutely fabulous.  I hope you do to.  The cut is Asian so there are no shoulder seams.  And the low mandarin collar is meant to rest organically on the collar bone, loose and somewhat wavy. 
I've also brought back some miao silversmith accessories.  Look for the dragon linked bracelet and the handcrafted belt.
