Thank you for your support during another amazing year! We promise to continue to grow, and when we do, take all of you along with us for the ride!!! Next year is going to be one to remember! Have a Happy New Year!
When it comes to prints and patterns, there is no one who has the same chemistry as Diane Von Furstenberg. Over her long career in fashion, she's been known for her mastery matching patterns to the right silhouettes, from her famous wrap dress to the small accessories that continue to sell out in our stores season after season. These scarves from her SS12 collection are full of wild prints in playful colors!! They are cashmere, and amazingly soft and light. We just received them in snow leopard (blue and yellow), and a zebra pattern with pink or blue trim! They will be up on the website soon so please check New Arrival frequently...
We are very excited about the arrival of Saturdays Surf tees in Aloha Rag exclusive colorways!! The shooting team visited Saturdays on Crosby to shoot the tees right before Christmas... Here are few shots that we took in their backyard, as the store was full of gift shoppers and locals! As we are sure you have seen already, the T-shirts come in two color combo in the picture above. Black x Black and White x Bright Yellow, and they are limited to 200 units per color. Not to mention, they are only available in Aloha Rag! They will launching on the website January 4th, and when they do, you can find them here.
Over the course of the year, we shot quite a bit for the product pages and features of the website, and had the great pleasure to work with talented models. We tried, but could not really count how many photos we actually took, but we shot just over a 100 days this year and usually shot more than 1000 photos per day... which means it was easily over 100,000! (Our photographer, Takuro could shoot more, but he knows when he got the one!) Here are some extra shots from photo shoots we did this year... Each one is very memorable, hope you enjoy them like we did!
A couple exciting new arrivals from Martin Margiela's Line 13 "objects & publication" are now available at Aloha Rag!! The line has been very popular with it's quirkiness and humor, while maintaining the identifiable design aesthetic of MMM. The image above of the Champagne Bucket and Snow Dome were taken while skyping with the Hawaii office. Hopefully it gives you an good idea of the scale of them! Many more items will going to arrive very soon, so stay tuned for more news to come...

Special pieces are pouring in daily at Aloha Rag for the oncoming SS12...! While at an appointment a few months ago, the buying team was wrapping up and about to leave the showroom when these Loewe sunglasses caught the buyers eye... We had to sit down again and try them on!!! We fell in love with the vivid colors, making the glasses literal eye-candy... These are now available at the stores, and very soon they will be up on the website. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us via email / phone call.

Possibly Yves Saint Lauren's most iconic bag, the "Easy" is a great carryall regardless of trends, seasons, and styles. With the subtle Y logo paneled in to the construction, and it's easy side-tab snap for a transitional shape, this bag is the perfect embodiment of effortless chic! What makes this bag special is it's weight; if you've ever held one in person, you know this is light as a feather! We currently have it in three different colors, and to get a closer look, please click on the images below to see the product pages.

These Jil Sander's scarves are some of the first items we've received at Aloha Rag for SS12, and just looking at them, we want to skip the Winter reality and jump to Spring. Their airy light weight and blue tones are so refreshing when combined with light palettes, white and beige. We've received three kinds of patterns and color, python, plaid, and solid navy! All of them are very soft and perfectly complete a polished Spring look, making it tough to choose just one... They will be up on the New Arrivals page soon, so please keep an eye on them!
We just announced that the 3.1 Phillip Lim SS12 Pre-Orders are now available!! This is a great chance to see the items in advance, and not to miss what you want...! You can check out the collection page here, and if you have any questions regarding the items, please feel free to contact us.

When we looked at the SS12 runways back in September, Lemon Yellow was one of the major colors that caught our attention. The refreshing zest of yellow is perfect for welcoming the Spring, and it will keep you upbeat unconditionally! At the physical Aloha Rag stores, pops of yellow is seen everywhere! We've received sweaters that you can sport right away, some airy dresses and adorable accessories as well. Please click on the images below to jump to the product pages, and more yellow items from SS12 collection are on their way!
The other day, I purchased the newly arrived NIKE M-65 jacket in pale grey. I actually bought my first another darker grey version earlier this season and I really liked the functionality and design of it, so thought owning another one wouldn't hurt... and I know I will wear it a lot! Some of the accents on the jacket have a little bit of a futuristic essence, and it makes me look like a Storm Trooper from Star Wars, but that's what I like about this jacket. You don't see this crisp wool texture used for M-65 jackets so often. I am sure it will keep me going through the New York Winter when I wear a sweater underneath!! This jacket will be update on the website any day now, please check the New Arrivals often...

The living legend in the fashion industry, Tom Ford's documentary was revealed a few days ago. Always at the top of his game, he is now not only designing a couture collection, but also directing films and launching a make-up collection. This film shows an insiders view of his astonishing creativity, and it's a great film to watch if you have a little relaxed time during the holidays! We've been carrying Tom Ford's sunglasses for many seasons now, and they are always one of the best sellers of Aloha Rag's eyewear collections. Check out his entire eyewear collection here!
Merry Christmas! The Aloha Rag team is hoping you are having a wonderful day with your family & friends!!!
