 Designers include:

•  Selma Karaca, a New York-based fashion designer creates stunning, stylish and flattering clothing that she knits, drapes, trims, and finishes by hand.

• Diamantina, a Washington, DC- based leather handbag company created from the partnership of two friends who share a passion for fashion, sustainability and wanted to provide job opportunities to skilled men and women from their home country of Argentina.


• Rachel Pfeffer’s jewelry is simultaneously clever and beautiful. Her work appeals to all tastes, whether you are in the market for a chunky amethyst geode ring, or a tiny bicycle tie tack. 


• Kim Schalk’s goal in fashion is to carve a niche of innovation and luxury with economic practicality.  She creates beautiful, versatile garments in sumptuous materials that don’t break the bank. 


• Nicole Alfieri’s line of knitwear has an international sensibility. Inspired by vintage apparel and Mediterranean city life, her collection, Pico Vela, is a very wearable, contemporary line of women's sweaters made of natural fibers and knit on hand machines by a collective of artisans here in the USA.


• Calamarie is a jewelry line made with natural materials, combining traditional art forms, techniques, and recycled materials with contemporary design. Calamarie accessories are eco-chic, unique, wearable art for every occasion and every woman.  Calamarie buyers also help improve the lives of micro-entrepreneurs and artisans across Colombia.


• Deb Soromenho’ s jewelry can be described as “modern bohemian.”  She works in sterling silver, fine silver, copper, and bronze, along with natural materials such as leather, hemp, silk, wood, semi-precious gemstones, freshwater pearls, and crystals.


• Barbara Cieslicki jewelry is the collaborative creation of sisters whose focus is on crafting jewelry that makes you look good and is comfortable to wear. Their new line includes gem-like pieces that feature rich metallic leafing and brilliant Swarovski crystals set in gold and rhodium finished metal components.
