Spotlight on: Digby & Iona

Valentine's Day is right around the corner but here at Flock we're not wishing for dainty heart shaped baubles. If we're lucky, Cupid will strike with a hand-crafted piece from Digby & Iona's "Me & My Arrow" Collection. Through a jewelry-making class, former carpenter Aaron Ruff "found a more intimate connection with constructing objects that people could actually wear and behold," and thus Digby & Iona was born.

Incorporating many aspects of his life into his designs, from history, nature, literature, and everyday objects, Ruff creates a sense of whimsy for each lucky wearer of his pieces. One thing's for sure- we're smitten!

The Arrow cuff is oxidized sterling silver shaft and yellow silver arrowheads.

Each Arrow cuff is assembled by hand with two different yellow silver arrowheads.

$210

 

The Bluejay Arrow Necklace has an oxidized bronze shaft, sterling silver arrowhead and comes on a 30" sterling silver chain. The arrow is 4.5" long tip to feather.

$150

The Bow necklace has an oxidized bronze shaft with sterling silver string and grip. Necklace comes on a 30" sterling silver chain.

$190

All of these pieces and more are available at Flock Boutique!

Spotlight On: Darling

New to Flock for Spring is UK line Darling, a favorite of English roses the world over! Launched in 2008 by independant boutique owner Nadia Moraes, the brand features vintage inspired details, the most feminine of prints, and best of all, a very accessible price point- most of the line is priced under $100! The most recent arrivals in the store are delicate floral dresses that are easily layerable to wear now with tights and a cardi, and sweet, wispy blouses that wouldn't be out of place on Kate Hudson or Kate Moss!  These affordable little luxuries are sure to be long gone by the time spring hits so don't hesitate to jump on the darling bandwagon!

Spotlight On: adorn by Sarah Lewis

Sarah Lewis is a girl after our own hearts. She owns a boutique in Philadelphia, stocks it chock full of sustainable and unique clothing, accessories, and self-made jewelry, and according to her bio is driven by her love for nature, travel, fashion, and music. Hmmmm...sounds familiar! Flock fans have been in the know about her hand-crafted jewelry line adorn, long before her recent Daily Candy "Best of Philadelphia" award. We love the rustic femininity of her pieces, as well as the sustainablility and socially  responsible nature of her work. All adorn pieces are crafted using reclaimed metals and ethically mined and traded stones.

Spotlight On: JADEtribe

If there is one accessory brand that really sums up the Flock aesthetic, it would be JADEtribe, a sustainable accessory line full on one of a kind, colorful, bohemian pieces that are perfect for an urban gypsy. Started by former high-powered fashion maven Kimberly Hartman, JADEtribe grew from an idea sparked while on a soul-searching trip through Southeast Asia. While in Laos, watching women utilize traditional weaving and dying techniques to magnificent effect, Hartman realized that she could combine her love for fashion with the ability to give these women some financial independence by working with them to produce these textiles. The result is a collection of gorgeous shoulder bags, clutches and totes that you can feel good about investing in.

Available now at shopflockboston and in-store!
