Kaight Launches Matt & Nat "Shop Within A Shop"

Kaight has been a retailer of Matt & Nat's luxury non-leather bags for several seasons. However, now we are taking our relationship with the Canadian brand one step further with a carefully curated "Shop Within A Shop." Similar to past collaborations with Melissa and Pulp Lab, the Matt & Nat "Shop Within A Shop" will allow customers to shop the full range of the MATT & NAT fall and holiday collections, rather than just a selection of styles as we have offered in the past. We are super excited to partner with this innovative brand, which has been a trailblazer in the environmental movement. Each product contains at least one recycled element and on average 21 plastic bottles are recycled to make linings for their bags. MATT & NAT has always been a Pioneer in Eco-Fashion.

The MATT & NAT "Shop Within A Shop" will be open from Sept. 1- Nov. 30. Many styles within the shop will be offered in-store only.

Lucky Mag Names New Label, Whit, "One To Watch"

Lucky Magazine's September issue features newcomer Whitney Pozgay's somewhat eponymous label "Whit" as "One to watch". We couldn't agree more that Pozgay is certainly a rising star in the fashion industry. We love the hints of the Nouvelle Vague in her collection, and especially love that many of the fabrics in the line are vintage. The collection is also produced in New York City. Yay! Save the garment district!!

The collection is currently available at Kaight. 83 Orchard St. Tel. 212.680.5630. www.kaightshop.com

Daily Candy Features Erin Templeton's Gunny Sack!

For those of you that cringe when you hear the words backpack, I understand. My own backpack experience was limited to an LLBean classic in hunter green, and then updated for weekend trekking. Not particularly the most urban accessory. Thankfully, in an appropriately timed piece on the perfect fall accessory, Daily Candy handpicked 16 way cool versions, including Erin Templeton's Gunny Sack. Most definitely "Too Cool For School". Available at Kaight and online.

DLC's Susan Domelsmith's & Her "Very Rock n' Roll" Fall Collection

Full Frontal Fashion has posted a behind-the-scenes Q&A with DLC's "drop-dead gorgeous" Susan Domelsmith. The designer describes the vibe for the fall collection as "very rock-and-roll, and my new Octave brooch and guitar-strap charm is the first of its kind.” Not only does Susan create extremely wearable -- often one-of-a-kind -- cutting edge statement pieces, but she does so personally and by hand. As the writer notes, "When I visited her studio in Williamsburg, I was humbled by her laborious process of hand-making each and every one of her pieces. She uses upcycled vintage pieces and transforms forgotten old chains into statement jewelry for almost any occasion. For eco-friendly fashion-forward types, DLC is worth the investment, which won’t hurt your bank account."

DLC's Metronome Necklace. Available in silver at Kaight.

Our annual summer sale is almost over! 40-70% off most styles.
