Men's FW12 fashion show were at their pinnacle a few days ago. Did you find anything exciting? T Magazine revealed backstage photos of Lanvin's runway show, showing the exciting moments and craziness of the show! We found a familiar face in a couple of the shots, Milo who modeled for Aloha Rag's website many times. It is great coverage from an insider's vantage point, and you can check all the shots on their website here. Don't forget to check out Lanvin's SS12 collection at Aloha Rag here...

Whenever we receive a new shipment, the bags just don't stay with us too long... Samudra's pouches are now RESTOCKED!!!! With five kinds of beautiful scenes printed on durable canvas, the pouch is the perfect go-to size for everyone. Since outside is freezing and windy, why not to carry the remembrance of summer with you? You can see all our Samudra stock here! 

       

Indigo Blue

As we were looking through the recent arrivals of SS12, we've noticed that indigo is definitely a key-color this season for both men's and women's wear. The true navy pigment reminds us of the deep sea, and the sky at dawn, anything that instantly connects with nature and the earth. Mostly known as dye for denim, indigo is one of the oldest techniques of garment dying, which has been practiced across the globe since the 18th century. Dosa's indigo series are hand-died in India with real indigo, which makes the quality and hue pristine! As time goes by indigo fades, part of it's natural character, and as it does it tells the personal story of your wear of the garment through it's wrinkles and the marks broken in by you. Please find some indigo items below and click to see the item pages. 

 

   

 

   

Trend Alert: Sports!

In recent seasons, a sporty essence seems to be in trend, and of the elements that we've noticed in the last Septembers runway presentations, the trend isn't going away anytime soon. For SS12, it's back even stronger without being too literal! The athletic feel in the garments comes to life with the designer's unique take on color combos, cuts and silhouettes! Here are some items available at Aloha Rag that are draw inspiration from sports! Please click on the links below to see the item pages...
