This past weekend, Phat and I sprinted to New York for a quick buying trip. Given the retail calendar in Santa Fe, we are typically too busy in the summer to get away–so we have to take every opportunity to sneak off and see our vendors when we can. Sometimes the buy feels like our night gig after closing the doors for the day… made completely worth the effort when we are able to bring in the best of the best. Here is a small update… and we look forward to sharing with you the spoils of our hunt come next spring!
With just 24 hours in NYC, we had to prioritize quickly… and this weekend was all about Santa Fe Dry Goods. As Etro is coming back to our stores this fall, we took the opportunity to make selects from the studio’s SS26 collection. We were excited by what we saw: strong colors, prints and silhouettes that speak to the brand’s deep roots in couture.
In between cups of coffee and a shared plate of very spicy noodles, we also stopped in to see two new-to-us labels, Jason Wu and Max Mara S, both of which we will be receiving for the first time for Pre-Fall 2025. Our trip was rounded out by recent favorites, Iris Von Arnim and Munnu the Gem Palace, for a thoughtful, classical touch.
Until next time,
Shobhan
