clementine + sustalux

The lovely ladies of West Seattle’s Clementine Shoes are hosting an exclusive pop-up shop for one weekend only. Teaming up with one of Seattle’s best kept secrets, they're preparing for a super special trunk show welcoming Sustalux to the West Seattle 'hood. Clear your calendar for this Saturday January 28th and Sunday, January 29th.

This pop-up shop is a match made in heaven. You're probably familiar with Clementine Shoes. Linda Walsh has been sharing her passion for beautiful footwear since 2006. She quickly became a local fave for brands like Chie Mihara, Miz Mooz and John Fluevog.

 

But you may not have heard of Sustalux - yet. The word Sustalux combines sustainable + luxury, which is the best phrase I've heard in years. Sustalux is the brainchild of Dana Guyton, and offers a curated collection of gently used vintage, designer and one-of-a-kind pieces to women (and men) who appreciate quality, stylish, wearable clothing that reflects individual style. Just take a peek at her philosophy...

 

"Sustalux is the result of a life-long reverence for fashion & it's makers, a shopping addiction, and the joy that floods a room when someone finds their new favorite piece. I focus on vintage because there is a quality and authenticity to each piece that you can't often find these days. Many of my garments come from an era when each piece was envisioned and constructed by the designers themselves along with a team of pattern-makers and seamstresses - not like the machine-made designer apparel of today. I have a tremendous respect for their work and I take great pleasure in sharing their visions of the past with the fashionably conscious of today."

 

She had me at shopping addiction.

Dana refers to her goods-on-hand as Closet Candy, and caters to a select clientele out of her studio in Sodo with private styling sessions. But you don't have to be rolling in dough to get in the door. Her website clearly states that she's not in the business of overcharging - her prices are reasonable and fair. I've been looking for an excuse to connect with this maven of style and this weekend is my shopportunity.

In addition to scouring the universe for the best of the best, Dana's business is also focused on product development and editorial photographic styling.

This weekend you can expect a carefully edited array of clothing and accessories, with a focus on chic resort style, as well as affordable options to weather the rest of our Pacific Northwest winter in bright, dazzling and fashion-forward style. After last week's snowstorm, all I can think about is a resort vacation.

Items available will include vintage bags and purses $16-24, kid leather gloves $16, and vintage Trifari statement necklaces $26-36. 

If you can't work the sale into your weekend plans, consider hosting a Luxe Shopping Party for you and your best girlfriends. Dana will set up an exclusive sale just for you. Now doesn't that just sound fabulous?
