***XL Mexican Blouses Now in Stock!
Thu, 02 May 2013 18:35:00 +0000
We just wrapped up a batch of our newest style, the "Lijera Libre" Mexican peasant blouse.  "Libre" is Spanish for free, and perfectly describes the flowy and looser-fitting version of our iconic Lijera.  For our more voluptuous warm weather devotees, the Lijera Libre puts a very sexy exclamation point on any sunny summer outfit; and can be paired with a belt and worn as a tunic-length cover-up for our more petite sun worshipers.



As you know, one of the Lijera's most distinctive features is its split-sleeve detail, which we have updated for the Libre with a more robust scallop crochet trim which is joined so the sleeves remain closed -- Just like on our Primavera Mexican dress:

The Lijera Libre is currently available in XL with XXL sizes in the works.  Let us know what you think!


***XL and XX Sizes Coming Soon!
Sat, 27 Apr 2013 06:09:00 +0000
One of our most popular styles, the iconic split sleeve "La Lijera" Mexican blouse will soon be available in XL and XX sizes.  Like the original, it features a vented bottom hem, joined split sleeve detail, and hand crochet trim all around.  100% cotton hand dyed and distressed for a timeworn flair; and finished with ornate hand embroidery that makes each top a wearable piece of art!

Like all of our tags and art, the XL tag is carved and stamped by hand to create a unique, vintage vibe.

We're doubly excited as this not only opens up more size options, but style options as well -- Wear one a size larger than you usually would and belt it at your natural waist and you have a beach cover-up with a decidedly Greecian-Goddess aesthetic.

Check back soon for more details!


***New Siren Sundress: "La Primavera"
Sat, 20 Apr 2013 18:14:00 +0000
It's Primavera (Spring) so we're celebrating with a new sundress in honor of the season.  The "La Primavera" is based on our Lijera Mexican Blouse and features hand embroidery and crochet trim, a lovely split-sleeve detail, and is dip-dyed and distressed by hand for an authentic, vintage vibe.


Currently available in purple (shown above), grey with white embroidery, and aqua with red embroidery are coming soon.

Check 'em out here.


***Mouline Embroidery Floss -- Now Available!
Fri, 19 Apr 2013 17:57:00 +0000
Thank you all so much for your enthusiasm for our free embroidery patterns.  We are always so stoked to see what you do with them!

There are a lot of different options out there for embroidery cottons, but our favorite brand is Mouline (pronounced MOh - lin - eh).  Still made in historic Bohemia, Mouline embroidery floss is the most appropriate and authentic choice for any "Boho" inspired project.  I mean, how can you call yourself a proper bohemian if your embroidery cotton is made in France?


We'll be adding a bunch of new colors soon.  You can get your hands on a skein or 24 box of Mouline here.


***Primal Standup Paddle Boards
Wed, 17 Apr 2013 16:30:00 +0000
As much as we members of the modern world would like to believe that standup paddle boarding is something new, there is actually plenty of evidence to the contrary.  For instance:


This particular example of primal paddle craft looks to fit "unlimited class" specifications; and most interestingly it appears to be provisioned for night racing.  The text reads, "A fisherman works with his commorants...."


***Epocas Mas Sencillas....

Inspiration from the golden age of the advertising arts.

***Tagging Returns to its Roots....
Thu, 28 Mar 2013 16:31:00 +0000
In our fast-paced, social-media world, the term "tagging" has taken on an entirely new meaning.  Here's a photo of some seriously old-school tagging, done the old-fashioned way, by hand.

Siren's hand-stamped hang tags, in process.



***Being Green....
Sat, 16 Mar 2013 22:06:00 +0000
This time O'Year, being green takes on a whole different meaning.  Get in the spirit of things with a hand-embroidered Mexican peasant blouse in one of these lucky shades:



O'Lé!
