Summer Bags - Virginia Johnson




























































Remember Virginia Johnson?  Her bags are just as cute as her scarves.  I'm picturing one paired with some Bo'em sandals and a casual Accessories & Beyond bracelet.  Off to the beach!

Summer Bags - Kissim

How can you not love this bag?  It's so simple, streamlined, and modern.  It's a year-round everyday option.

Summer Bags - Kooba

Accessories and Beyond | Out of the Box
















This is a fun assortment of bracelets by Accessories and Beyond. They are elastic (like hair bands) with a silver or gold accent. Each one comes in a stack of 14 bands. They are great for everyday. And if you get two different bracelets, it's cute to mix half of each on your wrist.

All $65

The Promise of Spring at Tula








































































































































































It may not feel like it, but we promise Spring is on the way.  We've transformed our shop in preparation.  It's now full of color, breezy fabrics, fresh prints, and the spirit of optimism.  I hope you'll forgive the poor lighting, but I tried to capture some inspiring displays in our store.  Nothing beats the real deal, though, so stop by for a visit soon!

Me & Kashmiere Out of the Box




















This has become one of our most favored lines at Tula.  Me & Kashmiere is a Kashmiere, India-based collective that produces wraps and scarves, beginning with textiles from India--all painted or dyed by hand.  Each scarf is hand-woven using a variety of techniques.  

We carry many weaves, prints, and colors--and they do sell out rapidly so make haste!
