It's Hyla Season! Your Favorite Wrap-Skirt Has Arrived!

The Hyla was the bread and butter of Sarah Bibb's line before she was able to expand to have her own lil production facility. And it's still a Folly Favorite! The Hyla is a perfect A-Line Wrap skirt....and it's fully reversible. Think of it as two skirts in one! The Hyla is especially great for traveling because it's lightweight, cotton, comfy, and can be made into so many outfits with a few different tees! All priced at $145.

The Hyla in Pink Flower/Diamonds

The Hyla in Paisley/Navy

 

The Hyla in Grey Grid/Yellow Urn

 

The Hyla in Paisley/Green Check

Pick your favorite side and go with it until you get bored....then reverse it! Or switch with every wear! Up to you. Fun. Functional. Ethically made...with love! This is the quirky & cute skirt missing from your life. ♥

Lovely Lace for Fall!

Sarah Bibb's slips are a must have. Ask any Folly girl and they will tell you it is the ultimate truth! A slip for every occasion. Fabric milled in the USA! Designed, cut and sewn with love in Portland, Oregon, and sold right around the corner at Folly! Could you really ask for more? The most breathable nylon and super soft lace means SUPER easy care, and feels great too. Wash cold, hang to dry. Absolutely no fuss!

And for this fall we have the prettiest colors! A lovely warm brown, a stormy ocean blue, and deep deep wine. Gorgeous.

The pretty Alice Slip in black with wine lace trim. Perfect deep V on top, and a little room in the hips for a more a-line cut.

The Classic and best-seller Ava Slip in both Wine and Blue lace trims. A true utilitarian slip. Modest V-neckline, and a straight, fitted cut through the hips. Works on almost every body! Also available in a longer length for those who are taller or a little more modest. The Ava was even featured in InTouch Weekly!

And last but not least, the Erin Slip in Blue and Brown! Gorgeous Deep V and adjustable straps. Perfect for a lady who needs a little more room on top or likes the idea of being able to adjust the height of the neckline.

Of course all slips are available online in many more colors at our online store!

Level 99 Low, Mid, and High Rise goodness.

These jeans are everything you want them to be. Level 99 is soft, with just the perfect amount of stretch, and oh so flattering. Perfect jeans in every cut and color imaginable. Everyone needs a perfect pair of jeans in their closet. They've been a celebrity and super model fave for years! Buy a pair and thank me later. ;)

These Lily Skinny Straight jeans in Silver Fox are a perfect low-rise. So easy to dress up and down in this perfect neutral grey color and  in a comfortable lightweight fabric that is so amazing soft on your skin. 

The Lily Mid-Rise in Gough is the perfect casual jean with a little bit more coverage for those who aren't the biggest fans of low rise jeans. A classic medium wash in the same skinny straight cut with just a slightly higher rise for comfort. These jeans are so perfect for your day to day wear. 

And for something different the Tanya Hi-Rise in Reign! This dark wash is definitely a fan favorite. So easy to dress up! And the hi-rise makes for a very different and VERY leggy silhouette. (Seriously your legs will look miles long.) Wear it with your favorite blouse tucked in for a retro, but super polished look.

Field Trip to Folly

A week ago we received a phone call at the boutique that caused a bit of confusion. I answered the phone with a pleasant "Folly, this is Laura." Only to be answered by a voice of a child asking to speak with Sarah. I of course thought it was a child of someone Sarah knew, but I was incorrect. It was a first grade student from Childpeace Montessori School asking Sarah if she could visit the boutique and studio to learn about the business and how clothes are made. We were elated by the request and after confirming with a few adults Sarah set a date and time…which happens to be today. :) 

At around 1:15PM the doorbell chimed and in walked Zucca and Tillie, two adorable first graders. At first they were very shy so Sarah started to show them around the boutique. She showed them garments from her line and soon after the questions started... How do you design clothes? Do you have fun? Do you get breaks? I will show you more about the design process when we take a tour of the studio...I have a lot of fun. It's hard work, but it's worth it...Well, we don't really have a conventional work day, so we don't really get breaks. Breaks for us are the moments we get to tell jokes and have robot dance-offs (Sarah proceeded to wow them with her robot skills). 

After a few questions Sarah took the girls to the studio for a tour of where everything is made. While at the studio Sarah gave Tillie and Zucca a demo on how to use the sewing machines. The girls had plenty of questions about the design process, so Sarah showed them the pattern to one of her garments and explained how the magic happens. Then back to the boutique they went to see the finished product. After a few minutes of chatter time, the girls left and went back to their school day and Sarah and I were left to battle it out in yet another robot dance-off.

Thank you ladies for gracing us with your curious minds. We hope you come and visit us soon. 

♥xo,
Laura
