my favorite things
a week dedicated to some of my favorite things in honor of one of my favorite songs (I prefer Coltrane's version) - margot
Wild Americana
Sabina Savage
Savage's new collection is inspired by true stories of America's wildlife history, but her imagination is the catapult for her rich storytelling process. The imagery references the Lakota people, fraternal orders, folk art, the Cherokee people and more. In this collection, spirituality, nature and science come together from their own corner to bring us to common ground that Savage hopes we can agree upon.
“My collection recruits these creatures as powerful symbols, standing for faith in nature, hopeful resilience, and issuing a plea for kinship and charity in preserving our natural world.”
- Sabina Savage

Each pair of Shoto shoes is made entirely in house, by hand. Exquisite craftsmanship and finishing techniques make their shoes unique.
Fatto a mano in Montegranaro, Italy.
made in Japan
Evam Eva
Evam Eva is a small Japanese brand that excels in subtlety and understatement. Prior to the pandemic, Evam Eva preferred their products not be sold online: they need to be touched to be appreciated and photographs never do them justice. Their fibers have an ethereal halo - but my most-worn sweater is made with their wool/fox yarn that is back for it's 3rd straight year. It's so good we feel the need to keep bringing it back.
A great/tough boss once told me to 'underpromise and overdeliver.' I always try. I feel like Evam Eva does that in everything they make and this is why I feel fortunate to have them in our company. - margot

team t&o favorite
Harris Wharf
Harris Wharf makes it feel so easy to look so put together, and we consider their blazers to be a gateway into the category. Harris Wharf's soft tailoring and commitment to fibers is what makes their apparel so compelling. Tailored pieces feel forgiving and comfortable, not rigid and constraining. These jackets look sharp yet feel like cardigans. We are deeply committed to Harris Wharf because we turn to their pieces effortlessly and often.
