January Clearance Sale!

We are trying to make room for our Spring Collections that are starting to arrive later this month, so all winter merchandise is on sale now at

40-60% off regular price

Sale includes cotelac, Poles, IKKS, neen, riki and all winter shoes and boots.

Fall

It certainly is hot here in California, but fall has arrived at riki.

All of our French lines have sent their first shipments and we are selling through faster than anticipated, especially the IKKS pieces in metallic coated fabrics.

Fillmore jackets and coats just arrived this Friday. I particularly like the tweed belted jacket vest with its distinctly wider shoulder cut and fitted waist, somewhat reminiscent of the 80s. Very stylish when paired with narrow, fitted bottoms.



To all of you that participated in the trunk show for Sydney Turnshek, thanks so much for coming. For everybody else that couldn't make it, stop by and see her selection of felted wool hats, caps, cloches and headbands on display on one of her beautiful hat stands in our Berkeley store.


Our riki belts in fall colors will be in our stores by next week, promise. I know many of you have been asking for them. I also added some crocodile embossed cowhide leathers in our smaller contour belt, I really like it, hope you do, too.



It has been a pleasure to get to know and work with many of our Bay Area customers on my Wednesdays in Berkeley, great fun!

French Arrivals

Lines from France we all love that arrived or will arrive this week!

IKKS, France

I know many of you have been waiting for IKKS to arrive. We've built quite a following for this edgy, urban French line. Great jackets, skirts, jumpers, metallic accents, coated fabrics, oh, you can tell I love IKKS! It's very modern with clean architectural design lines, on trend, but very wearable and refined.

Poles/Tehen, France

We've been carrying this French knitwear line for several seasons now and everybody really likes it. I've focused on bringing you their fine knit sweater tops in beautifully vibrant shades of berry, purple, turquoise and grey as essential, luxurious basics for your fall wardrobe.

Cotelac, France

Our shipment should arrive no later than this Thursday. Cotelac to me is the ultimate French boutique line. It's feminine without being frilly, artistic without being theatrical, youthful and very refined. Cotelac is only available in select boutiques in the US as well as the cotelac boutique in Soho, NYC that opened its doors two years ago. I feel very fortunate to be able to bring you this beautiful line. For more information visit their website www.cotelac.fr.

Neen, France

Another fabulous knitwear line from France! Last year we sold out of their long black boiled wool trench in two days but couldn't reorder it, so it's coming again this year, actually, next week. It's clean-lined and simply chic, travels well, and looks great with jeans and boots. Don't miss out on this one! Their knit dresses and tops are equally as great and always look very polished.

Halloween at riki

Halloween is one of my absolute favorite holidays. Here in Davis it tends to get pretty crazy with thousands of little (or not so little) trick-or-treaters coming by for our yearly downtown event put on by the Downtown Davis Business Association.

For the occasion we decided to pair some great orange pieces, a Fillmore short trench, and Karoo cashmere sweater with black skirts and pants and wraps from IKKS, France.

Happy Halloween!

Current Fall Looks in Our Stores

New riki jackets just arrived in wonderful Italian wools that are fully lined in solid black as well as tweeds in fall colors. Great for work when paired with skirts or slacks or just with jeans for a refined but casual look.















We love Rachel Pally dresses. Great quality, impeccable fit, fun colors-- dresses that can go from day into evening just by changing accessories.













IKKS, cotelac, and riki merchandise well together in this urban fall look. Wear it with ankle boots (see this month's look) or tall boots and you are ready to go.

Delicious Hues

I’m somewhat obsessed with color this season, in particular with marigold, orange and plum tones and I can tell many of you must be, too. It all looks so fresh when paired with every grey tone (and there are certainly many of them this season), black and dark chocolate brown. As one of my favorite customers said to me the other day, “it looks delicious in here.”

Our new fall collections are arriving, beautiful pieces from Cotelac, France, urban looks from IKKS, France, the best coats and jackets from Fillmore and as always skirts, dresses and beautiful jackets in Italian fabrics from riki.

Hope to see you soon!
