MCMC + EC

April 1, 2011

We are so thrilled to offer MCMC fragrance, a small batch perfumery based in nyc and made lovingly by one woman, Anne McClain. We knew it was meant to be at first sniff- Dude No. 1 (men’s cologne made to rub on beard, face, pulse points, made of jojoba and hemp), Hunter (woodsy, unisex), Maui (summer, with anise), Maine (the sea, just like the name says), all made of natural oils and evoking memories. It’s so easy to roll on and carry in your bag for dreamy moments. We adore!

And our love affair with Erin Considine continues. We started with Erin when we opened a year and a half ago and we feel like we have grown in tandem. EC is carried by the best shops all across this great land…

Stay tuned for more treasured finds from Trez this Spring/Summer!

West Coasting

We just got back from the best coast and wanted to share with you all the wonderful joints we checked out, in the spirit of fun and love that we got swept up in while in Cali!

IKO IKO – so wonderfully inviting, it was a a delight to touch all the beautiful products and chill with the serious Japanese vibe. We picked up some vintage ceramic beads and some handmade pieces from the owner’s architectural line Rowena Sartin.

CERRE – amazing leather pieces, all wood and iron in the store, exquisite vintage,  plus the most beautiful/friendly owner-couple

SCOUT – finest, most wearable vintage with a super modern feel

OOGA BOOGA – where else can we buy records for our boyfriends and SSWTR shoes for ourselves?
