Avant Garde
"This family run business produces limited edition pieces mostly handmade in France. The design team has fifteen years of experience in the industry. Bold is the theme of these stand alone works of art. The artesians vision is first realized with a pewter base, plated with silver or brass and then varnished to preserve color. Some are further adorned with Swarovsky crystals, stones, and glass. "

How to Wear a Scarf

I came across this clever Hermes deck of scarf styling cards on Cafe Mode (click on images to see larger). We have so many scarves at Tula and so many of our clients ask how to wear them. So, we'd like to present our own version of scarf styling, minus the professional photographer, professional model (though Laura could be one), and use of a scarf as a sling.

As always, if you have questions about scarf styling (whether it's a purchase from Tula or not) don't hesitate to stop in for some tips.

Avenue Montaigne | Out of the Box

Named after the famed Parisian street of high fashion and upscale designer outposts, Avenue Montaigne is a New York-based brand that has created a simple line of timeless and sleek summer pants. At Tula, we don't welcome just any pant into our collection. But if a pant meets our strict standards for fit, feel, ease of wear, and sense of style we fall in love.

Meet the Audrey. In black, slate gray, and pale khaki with a fit that hails back to it's iconic inspiration (hint: it's in the name). We promise they're worth a try, in any size! Trust us.
