The clothes tend towards wraps and ripples of solid color with the occasional print, stocking everything from slinky cocktail dresses to hoodies and what looks to be delightfully comfy loungewear, as well as rubber handbags and synth-leather shoes. Kids and pets get their own sections of apparel, bedding, and toys, there’s whole divisions of furniture and housewares, and the bath and body stuff includes bright purple body glitter.

Longsleevers that end at the knuckles, extra-long tank tops, scoopnecked tees, floor-length and A-line skirts, wrap dresses, yoga flares and culottes, undies, and the snuggly-looking hoodies are conjured up from the eco-fleece alchemy of 2-liter soda bottles.

They also do wild batik play pants, matching longsleevers, and hats – all made to coordinate – for kids.

The underwear tends towards the full-coverage and longjohnish and actually makes for some good layering staples, and the clothes include hoodies, yoga pants, and thick tights. Also bath and body goods and lots of earth-conscious housewares.

Mishu Boutique http://www.chateaubizarre.com/2009/03/05/mishu-boutique/ http://www.chateaubizarre.com/2009/03/05/mishu-boutique/#comments Thu, 05 Mar 2009 23:07:00 +0000 lilah wild http://word.chateaubizarre.com/?p=2438 Mishu Boutique spiral jacketIt looks like a catalog of floaty boho hippiewear, but keep going and you’ll hit pocket belts. Paisleys and patchwork are mixed up with nymphy jagged skirts and hoodies, with much of the stock “kind of like wearing your pajamas but sexy,” and of course a site like this would be incomplete without a page of yoga pants. Cute summer dresses for the little ones, too.
Thanks, Zac!

Lots of earth tones, lots of jagged points, where blue jeans occasionally appear alongside yogawear. Hoodies and ponchos, fairy-’tocked underwear, wrap tanks and belled longsleevers, flared pants, and the wings, gemstone jewelry, and pocket belts to finish them off with. Also poi, fire sticks, and fluorescent body jewelry (which sound quite fun to coordinate together for an outfit that comes to life only in the dark). Thanks, Sara!
