A New Member of the Club

 

It’s been a few weeks since they first arrived, but these Dreamcore Boots in Croc Suede, an EXCLUSIVE to Need Supply Co. from New Kid, were just the swift kick to the head we needed to rev us up for wearing boots this Spring. The perfect transition into warmer weather- soft taupe colored suede lightens any outfit, while the Croc print and combat-like structure still allows room for some sass.

New Na Nin! In Kate’s Neighborhood…

So, as you have probably seen, we have new Na Nin Vintage in stock, which I have to say, we are all pretty excited about! And, if you haven’t heard already, Kate Jennings is one of our new favorite friends. She went around her neighborhood last weekend, and took some snap shots (beauteous, by the way) of a few of her new items. Of course, Sam, Emi, and Andrew were all too willing to help show the pieces off (thanks guys!). We hope you enjoy these as much as we  do!

North Carolina Line-Up

We’re denim people. We always have been and we always will be. There will be an eternal passion about the material that owns a spot in our hearts. We’ve tried them all on, sizes too big for us and sizes too small. Fits too loose and fits too big. Every cut, every weight, and we’ve kept an even sharper eye on how they wear in. Over the past year, there’s been one  brand that’s truly made a lasting impression with us. This brand just so happens to be made just over 150 miles south of our store – Raleigh Denim.
