Lacoste Practical Magic
This event features canvas beach bags and totes, perfect for the weekend getaway.
Sometimes the chips, or in this case tennis balls, just fall into place. In 1927, French tennis player Rene Lacoste became an instant legend when he and his teammates stole the Davis Cup from the Americans in an unprecedented victory. As competitive as he was talented, Lacoste had raised the stakes by placing a bet with his team captain: if Lacoste won this crucial event, the captain would buy him a coveted alligator skin suitcase. Lacoste won, earning both the match title and the nickname "the alligator."
Already a style icon, Lacoste paired up with Andre Gillier, head of France's largest knitwear manufacturer in 1933. Thus, Lacoste the fashion house was born. What started as sportswear anchored in streamlined functionality and clean lines expanded into women's, children's, accessories, and more. Throughout the decades, Lacoste has held fast to its original inspirations with modern aesthetics, innovative designs and impeccable quality. Like Lacoste's athletic talent, this brand's sense of style comes naturally. Now that's what we call practical magic.

Animal InstinctsThis event features bedding.
At your next cocktail party, strike up some banter with this interesting factoid:
Lacoste was the first brand to put its label on the outside of a garment. Now, for a culture so consumed with labels that's a pretty monumental move. So bold, it's hardly what one would expect from a brand name that rings synonymous with the privileged, preppy set. In a sense, though, Lacoste has always walked a fine line between elegant composure and all-out determination. In 1927 and 1928, French tennis champion Renee Lacoste won the Davis Cup. This fortitude earned him the nickname "The Alligator" and when the name stuck, it wasn't long before Lacoste started sewing small alligator logos onto his tennis whites.
Today, the label has mastered sophisticated sportswear and expanded to offer chic street wear, handbags, and footwear. Each piece, in every collection, is loyal to the same values of authenticity, performance and elegance that its founder held so dear. Only recently has Lacoste brought its supreme craftsmanship and classic style to the home. 300 thread count and 100% cotton, the bedding collection is thoroughly modern but saturated with a sense of tradition. From pillows to throws, the line's bold colors provide any room with the perfect, timeless accent.

SoftWearThis event features women's sweaters.
The
Knitwit logo is a discreet little keyhole. Originally selected for its inviting quality, it practically begs shoppers to peek inside. Since its inception, however, it has come to symbolize far more. Launched in 2006, the cashmere-based line offers key basics and accent pieces that cater to fashion-conscious cosmopolitans worldwide. From hoodies to tunics to tank tops, Knitwit has monopolized the rare pairing of flattering cuts and cozy fabrics. Just one piece has a profound ability to unlock your wardrobe, increasing the number of possible outfits exponentially.This versatility makes it ideal for both Hollywood starlets and corporate, working women. Knitwit's featherweight tissue cashmere, for example, takes the chill out of heavily air-conditioned corner offices without sacrificing style. At the same time, due to it's remarkably, cuddly nature, it also serves as pre-requisite apparel for first-class passengers in flight. Rarely does one find such comfort and sophistication in a single label. Even more rare is finding such a combo that is also compatible with so many styles. Each season, Knitwit launches a new collection of classic silhouettes with modern touches and just a hint of trend. Always innovative, the brand recently introduced an ecologically friendly soybean cashmere blend with unbeatable durability and, of course, its signature softness.

Latin FlavorThis event features belts and ready-to-wear pieces.On yet another rainy day, you stare out your office window, daydreaming wildly about sunnier skies, flawless beaches and adventurous culturally-rich vacations. If travels to, say, Latin America aren't on the near horizon for you, bring some of that romantic, exotic spirit to your closet with the designs from
Candela NYC.
Started in a dark Brooklyn basement in 2004 by Natalia Kuks and Gabriela Perezutti of Argentina and Uruguay, respectively, Candela took off when the pair introduced some Bohemian styles, inspired by their Latin American ranching background. Combining that raw influence with that of richly diverse NYC street fashion, Natalia and Gabriela grew their line to include gowns, casual dresses, tops, blouses, shoes, belts and handbags.
From leathers and chunky knits manufactured in Argentina to India-produced flowing silks and embroideries, Candela's pieces are feminine and frilly, without being over the top. Touched with occasional bows, ruffles, lace and strategic pops of color, Candela clothing combines wistful, natural looks with fashion-forward city style. And in true Candela spirit, nothing would balance out that billowy cotton voile maxi dress better than an edgy curve-accenting belt, for the perfect mix of girly and gutsy.
