The Latin Hour III: Fall 2019 Favorites

With the autumn season right around the corner, I wanted to show you guys what I'v been loving for this chillier weather in Boston, what's trending, and where to find it so these can go on your wish lists as well!

Embroidery

Starting in the upper left corner I have a cozy knit cardigan with intricately weaved details by Mulierr, a powerful latin American emerging brand built on the pillars of sustainability, creativity, and coziness. They elevate simple wardrobe elements like cardigans and plain white t-shirts into a fashion statement through their embroidered patterns and natural fibers. Their pieces are 100% handmade with great-quality textiles and a tremendous amount of effort and care goes into their creation. They sell through their Instagram, as well as in a variety of concept stores like Casa Précis and St. Dom in Bogota, Colombia.

Find them on Instagram @MLRR_official.

Call it eco-fashion if you like. I think it's just common sense.

Bags (my absolute favorite accessory)!

Bags are the perfect way to make your work outfit more fashion-forward and to spice up any outfit you throw on. My favorite brands for this season are Verdi, creator of the pale pink bucket bag on the upper left corner, and Montunas, the brand behind the navy acetate bag in the center of my wish list (and of my heart!).

Montunas (@montunas) is a brand based in London and Costa Rica, and they have the luxury vibe down to a science. Here are some of my absolute favorites styles, which you can find at https://montunas.com/.

The first bags were made on a cattle ranch on the coast of Costa Rica 25 years ago by Elke Ruge. Balancing young children and travel, each bag was created out of a necessity for both practicality and style. She designed the bags she wanted to wear but couldn’t find, inspired by the country she loved. 

About Montunas

Verdi (@verdidesign) is, like many south American brands, built on the legacy, tradition, and entrepreneurial work of older generations and families that relied on skill, grit, creativity and an absolute determination to make a better living for their children through a brand - in this case, a Colombian textile brand turned luxury design house. Thankfully, many newer generations (like the children of founder Carlos Vera Dieppa - Tomás & Cristina Vera) honor the legacy left to them and in many cases, built upon it to create high-end brands with international recognition. Their bucket bags are an example of the top-tier textile quality and innovative designs, but they have so much more to offer - and I'll dedicate a post exclusively to them soon so stay tuned!

Jeans

My college roommate is obsessed with jeans - she knows every style in existence and puts so much thought into every pick - and that seems to have rubbed off on me. With her in mind, I found this snake-embellished pair that I have been wanting (now for myself) SO bad. It's from Rapsodia and we are loving it. Here are other wish-list worthy styles that are chic, embellished, and everything you need for your fall wardrobe!

Boots

Before you guys think I only know ONE latin shoe brand, let me explain. These Nora Lozza creme booties go with everything I have in my (very limited) fall closet, so I am sorry if it's been too much Nora Lozza for you this month. I just love her leather pieces that are handmade with love and have reputation for being durable, stylish, and comfortable.

Look at my favorites here!

WE SHARE A LOVE FOR TRADITION AND THE VALUE OF SOMETHING MADE BY HAND.

That's about everything on TLL's fall radar, but stay tuned for more seasonal style inspiration featuring emerging luxury brands, the hottest trends, and designers that you probably don't know about - yet! Also, we skipped over the accessories featured in our post because we'll be covering those in a separate post (where we'll cover luxury jewelry), so stay on the lookout for that as well.

We hope you enjoyed and we'd love to hear your thoughts on these brands and what else you want to read from TLL this season!

With love,

Isa
