Our latest design is a variation of the this bag (which we never unveiled but still may later in the year). Slightly bigger and versatile, we took it out to run a few errands, testing its durability and functionality. A mix of rugged and chic, we are really loving this bag!

Friends : Malu Designs

Our friends, Maria and Lucia of Malu Designs, launched their SS 2014 collection yesterday and we are loving the cuts and colors of their latest swimwear line! There are playful designs and more modest silhouettes, all with a hint of sexy. We can't wait to order ours!
Visit their site and shop to see the full collection.

{ weekend bits }

This weekend we headed to Revel on the Block,

an event hosted by a few groups in an artistic neighborhood near downtown.

It stemmed off of Better Block which you can read more about here,

a concept we believe our city (and many across the country) really needs.

So we showed our support, participated and met some cool people,

saw great art, ate yummy food, shopped the small local pop up shops,

and listened to some good live tunes.

Its great to meet likeminded people

and spread the word about xiokat!

Remember our friend who has been sharing the table with us at the past few indie crafts shows and recently collaborated with on the recycling collection?
She has been selected to show her line at Boston Fashion Week as part of the Emerging Trends show!
We are so happy and excited for her!!
