Also, Hobo wallets (and handbags) are known to be a big hit with moms.

Speaking of handbags, Moms can rarely have enough of them. Orla Kiely makes some brilliant ones like these beauties. Order one from our website by clicking here.

Burnt Sugar Holiday Gift Guide: Cool Manly Stuff

2011-12-01T01:10:00.000-08:00

So there's a man in your life and he gets a gift this year (maybe he's been nice, maybe he's been naughty, it's all a matter of preference) and you need some ideas. We've gathered a few items here for you to get started...

A bag, large or small, by Property Of, a men's line out of Amsterdam, will pack up your fella in rugged, canvas and leather style. See the rest of the line on our website here.

Who is this Banksy person? It is the question of the ages. Let your honey ponder the mysteries of social subversiveness in this lovely, soft-covered book.

If you don't get Darling an Erikson Longboard this year then get him a piece of one. These hardwood rings are made by Mr. Erikson himself out of left over board bits and are each one-of-a-kind, manly, and awesome.

A very favorite man-item at Burnt Sugar is Mistral's pour homme soap (which means "for man," so you know it's not girly). We sell this stuff by the armload to guys who want to smell woodsy and nice and be soapy-clean. This duck emblazoned soap dish would make a robust receptacle for a big, hunky brick of soap.

The rosette can be unpinned and worn as a brooch. Yay- a twofer!

Easy care textiles will pack flat for travel.

Everyone should have two of these-- one for the pocket and one for the car.

Hey Kids!

2011-08-18T02:40:00.000-07:00

Technically these fine art book-puzzles and blocks are for children-- but isn't there a kid in all of us? And these are too cool to put age limits on them.

Learn botany and puzzle solving via the master painters.

Charley Harper alphabet blocks (it's never too early to start on literacy and fine design).

You can find these and more in the store!

New Dean Bags!

2011-08-03T23:52:00.000-07:00

We just can't stop drooling over all the Dean bags that have come in. From the classic teardrop (pictured above) to the whip-stitched buckle bag (see below) to several other points in between (favorite and new and new favorite) Dean's hand-stitched, streamlined designs make bag aficionados (that's most of us) weak in the knees.

These bags are not on our website so if you see one here that you love call our store or drop us an email and we will do our best to make your Dean dream come true.

Places we like: Cry Baby Ranch, Denver, Co.

2011-02-14T22:09:00.000-08:00

We recently went to Denver where we visited our favorite mile-high store, Cry Baby Ranch, in Larimer Square. We love their fancy-ranch furniture, western-chic gifts and cowpoke clothing and accoutrements. A store after our own hearts, they search high and low for things that are unique, lively, and inspire stories. Their boot selection, entirely cowboy (or girl)-esque, is a many splendid, colorfied thing. (How could we pick just one? The dilemma!)
(We do have an affinity for cities surrounded by mountains. Don't you?)

Someday Spring Will Come

2011-02-08T03:05:00.000-08:00

Camper-- Walk with Me

2010-09-10T20:40:00.000-07:00

J Shoes (and boots) for Fall 2010

2010-08-08T23:57:00.000-07:00

J Shoes makes shoes AND boots, as you can see. What you can't see is that J Shoes have a cushioned footbed that is quite comfortable and a price that won't hurt either.

Giraudon Boots!! And a shoe or two.

2010-08-02T21:02:00.000-07:00

Twenty-four boxes containing 18 styles of Biviel boots and shoes arrived the other day filling our shelves with the start of something beautiful-- the fall footwear order. Although we don't long for cold weather just yet, Biviel does make us think about it just a little. Especially those dark blue suede boots with the buckle. Yum.

These happy fellows are handcrafted in the Himalayas by artisans who use eco-friendly, all natural, wool to create soft toys that encourage creative play and cuddliness. Take one or the whole gang home and you will always have someone to talk to. (Or you can give one to a small child of your acquaintance, that's an idea too.)

Cool Cordani

2010-06-12T00:08:00.000-07:00

At some point, summer will start for real here in Seattle, and Cordani's summer shoes are ready for it. The well-balanced platforms are decked out with cushion, support and comfortable, foot hugging straps. The flats are made for rugged terrain but look pretty enough for anywhere. Cordani shoes are truly a summer and feet favorite.

Bath Treats

2010-06-07T22:15:00.000-07:00

Dip a little veggie stick or baguette toast or crispy cracker in a little olive oil or tapenade or sauce served in these bird-gilded little pedestal dishes. Or maybe burn a little tea light or votive for glowy tabletop atmosphere.

Or give this set as a wedding, hostess, or anniversary gift to someone who loves a little porcelain fanciness.

Socks by the box

2010-05-17T20:49:00.000-07:00

Could these be cuter? Nope. Six pairs to a box, fits newborn to one year-old, and cleverly knit to stay put on little feet (it will be up to you to keep the dryer from eating them).

Tea in the Sahara...

2010-05-12T20:08:00.000-07:00

...or cocktails in Seattle. These Moroccan tumblers work well for wine too. Mix or match the colors-- they make lovely wedding gifts and invoke festiveness at any table. À votre santé!

Each set of four includes a pink, white, yellow and green dish (not pictured) that coordinates deliciously with Rosanna's spring teapot and teacups.You'll find this charming china in Burnt Sugar's window for now... only limited sets available.

Foxy, foxy Faryl Robin

2010-04-09T22:37:00.000-07:00

Wrapped, tucked, tied, stacked-- the one and only Faryl Robin shoe we are carrying for summer. With a shoe this hot, we hardly need another.

Natty Hats

2010-04-02T01:19:00.000-07:00

While we might be past stocking cap weather, sun hats are not quite yet in order. For the fair but blustery in-between climes, try a stitched-paper fedora or a cotton newsboy cap. Choose from several colors and a few more styles-- any of them will top your noggin nicely.

More Campers

2010-03-30T00:24:00.000-07:00

Easter hats may not be the staple they once were, but Easter shoes are entirely necessary for hunting eggs and devouring chocolate bunnies in style. The second shipment of Campers is in and ready to be part of your Sunday best.

Purse hooks

2010-03-24T21:35:00.000-07:00

Sometimes, no matter how adorable your handbag is, you are at a loss as to what to do with it when you are out. Set it on the floor? Use it as a cushion? Place it as a centerpiece? These clever purse hooks fold up into slim little pouches so that you can take one with you everywhere. Hang one from the edge of a bar or table and your purse is tucked safely and neatly nearby.

Have a Havaiana

2010-03-22T22:00:00.000-07:00

Now that there is technically more daylight than darkness, and therefore the possibility of more sunshine than rain, it follows that we can now wear more flip-flops than shoes. Havaianas are the original flip-flop, invented in Brazil, sporting patented rubber and luscious colors; they are a tropical vacation for your feet.

Glenda Gies Bags

2010-03-20T00:25:00.000-07:00

Handbag designer Glenda Gies creates these classic shapes so that you can carry them for years. Since the fabric is from vintage stock, each collection is a small, limited run, and when they are gone, they are gone (so if you see one you like... you know what to do).

"J" Walking

2010-03-17T21:18:00.000-07:00

In Seattle, walking across the street against the traffic signal can get you a pesky little traffic ticket. With J Shoes you can rebel against pedestrian ordinances by just donning a pair of their way walkable, way fashionable sandals for your own "J" walk (the kind that will not result in a municipal fine, but may certainly get you noticed).

Born Crown (secretly splendid)

2010-03-15T21:08:00.000-07:00

You may know of the legendary comfort of Born Shoes, but did you know that Born Crown has all that comfort and added cuteness? The secret to the comfort is the layer of latex stitched into the footbed to cushion and support your foot. The secret to the cuteness is the decadent color, the hotty little heel, and the sexy little straps.

Helloooooo Hobo!

2010-03-12T22:41:00.000-08:00

Hobo bags never fail to please-- solid construction, bold colors, and best of all, they wear really really well. (Have you ever seen a vintage Hobo bag? They look gooooood.) Spring colors are in and waiting for you.

Argila

2010-03-10T21:33:00.000-08:00

Argila shoes are handmade entirely on the island of Menorca, Spain, which makes them just a bit precious. But it is their butter-soft leathers and their modern classic designs make them quite covetable and entirely fabulous.

Joli Jewelry is tres jolie

2010-03-07T21:55:00.000-08:00

Designer Jody Lyons uses vintage glass, Bakelite, buttons, beads, semi-precious stones and found items to create these delightful, original pieces. You will find them twinkling cheerily in the jewelry case on the south wall of Burnt Sugar.

Happy Camper!

2010-03-05T22:32:00.000-08:00

If you are a fan of Camper shoes, rejoice, for spring styles are in! Known for their patented rubber footbeds, funky designs, and comfortable heels, Camper shoes are made for walking.

Beautiful Biviel

2010-03-03T22:02:00.000-08:00

Oh Biviel, how we love your spring shoes, let us count the ways. We love your leather footbeds, your non-slip soles, and the way you soften to a custom fit.
