LIST OF FRAGRANCES

Navegar
Journey along the Spice Route

Eau de toilette
Natural spray 3.4oz

$125

Inspired by the “black diamond”, pepper, Navegar perfectly showcases the dual nature of this king of spices, its warmth and its bracing freshness. With notes of rum, lime, ginger and anise, it is a piquant cocktail resting on a luxurious base of precious woods and incense.

Notes: red and black pepper, ginger, lime, anise, cedar, guaiac.

L'Eau de l'Artisan
Signature scent of L’Artisan Parfumeur
Eau de toilette
Natural spray 3.4oz

$125

A fusion of classic elegance and modern nonchalance, L’Eau de L’Artisan adds to the traditional notes of citruses, herbs and tree moss a fresh twist of marine accord and hay, creating an aroma as refreshing as a splash of icy cold water on a very hot day. Timelessly refined and loved by men and women alike.

Notes: lemon, verbena, basil, mint, tree moss, hay, marine notes.

Tubéreuse
White floral diva!
Eau de toilette
Natural spray 3.4oz

$125

The queen of white flowers, tuberose, gets royal treatment in this classic, Tubereuse. With narcissus to highlight the fresh aspect of tuberose as well as to enhance its almost animalic quality, and with ylang-ylang and coconut milk to emphasize the delightfully creamy, tropical feel of the star note, Tubereuse is indolent and sensual. As heady as a diva on the night of a ball!

Notes: narcissus, jasmine, ylang-ylang, coconut milk.

Mûre et Musc
Eau de toilette
Natural spray 3.4oz

$125

From its fine bottle initially rises the fresh enchanting scent of the blackberry season followed by its fruity heart with the soft, intoxicating sensuality of musk reinforcing the blackberry note, bringing forth sensuous memories to make you delicately dizzy. How daring and unforgettable, the fragrant wave of “Mûre et Musc”!
Notes: The secret is closely guarded... “Mûre et Musc” intends to remain unique!

Mûre Sauvage Room Spray
Freshly picked berries
Room spray 4.22oz

Mimosa pour Moi
The soul of French Riviera in Spring…
Eau de toilette
Natural spray 3.4oz

$125

A reminder of weekends spent at the Riviera, the perfume carries you away to the elegant shores of Cote d’Azur…Imagine the blossoming trees, the cool sea breeze, the elegant and leisurely way of life – bottled in Mimosa Pour Moi! The true mimosa soliflore, the fragrance embodies this heavenly aroma: from the flowers to the leaves to the stems. Fresh and softly-green, the scent is forever changing on the skin, every second revealing a new, silky-smooth aspect.

Notes: violet leaves, blackcurrant bud, mimosa absolute, musk, vanilla, cedarwood.

Mimosa Marin Room Spray
French Riviera in Spring
Room spray 4.22oz

$70

Inspired by Côte d'Azur in spring, the fragrance of Mimosa Marin candles will fill the atmosphere of your home with sea breeze and the incandescent, sunny floral scent of mimosa magically transporting you to the carefree, joyous atmosphere of French Riviera.

La Chasse aux Papillons
Chasing Butterflies!
Eau de Toilette Natural spray 3.4oz

$125

Inspired by a childhood memory of chasing butterflies and playing hide-and-seek under blossoming branches, the scent is evocative of siestas in the shade of lemon and orange trees, of butterflies dancing in sunshine, of light breeze carrying heavenly aromas of lime blossoms, tuberose and jasmine … It is the scent of white petals caught with the butterfly net. The very essence of summer has been distilled to create La Chasse Aux Papillons. Let this infinitely feminine, exuberant bouquet of white flowers remind you of careless sunny days year round.
Notes: bergamot, lemon, pink pepper, orange blossom, lemon blossom, linden blossom, tuberose, jasmine, ylang-ylang.

Voleur de Roses

Stolen Rose
Eau de toilette
Natural spray 3.4oz

An eau de toilette that evokes the smell of earth after rainfall mixed with the fragrance of fresh roses. A perfume that is both sweet and warm.
Voleur de Rose is an undoubtedly original masculine fragrance!

Vanilia
Sophisticated Vanilla Eau de toilette
Natural spray 3.4oz

$125

A uniquely refined rendition of vanilla, this iconic L’Artisan Parfumeur fragrance blends vanilla absolute with the creamy floral accord of ylang ylang and smoldering spices. Enriched by the velvety base of sandalwood, Vanilia is a complex, multifaceted blend that showcases wonderfully the oriental beauty of vanilla and yet is more than just vanilla. A masterpiece.

Notes: ylang-ylang, nutmeg, clove, vanilla, sandalwood.

Safran Troublant
Saffron Spell
Eau de toilette
Natural spray 3.4oz
$125

The precious saffron spice, which, according to a myth, Zeus used to arouse his sense, subtly mingles with soothing vanilla, the two notes enhancing each other’s powers. Enriched by sweet sandalwood and red rose, a symbol of passion, Safran Troublant is a magic golden philter, sensuous and soft.

Notes: saffron, rose, vanilla, sandalwood.

Poivre Piquant
Spice of Passion
Eau de toilette
Natural spray 3.4oz

$125

Inspired by an Indian wedding tradition of mingling sugar and pepper, one to make life sweet, the other to make it burning with passion, Poivre Piquant conceals the hotness of white pepper behind the veil of milk. The magic white love potion for a lifetime of tenderness and passion.

Notes: pink peppercorn, white pepper, milk, honey.

Piment Brûlant
Red Hot Pepper
Eau de toilette
Natural spray 3.4oz

$125

Inspired by an Aztec love potion, the fiery fragrance sets chocolate on fire with hot red pepper and a touch of poppy to soften any resistance. The unique contrast of spicy pepper and voluptuous whipped chocolate is enthralling and truly addictive. Add a touch of spice to your life with this magic philtre.

Notes: hot pepper, clove, cocoa, tonka, vanilla.

Dzing !
Leather!
Eau de toilette
Natural spray 3.4oz

$125

Inspired by the circus, its sights, sounds, smells and tastes, Dzing! is a unique and modern take on leather. The blend of animalic seductiveness of leather and musk and soft, gourmand innocence of iris and toffee demonstrates a duality that is irresistible. Wild and playful, Dzing! is also sublimely refined. A scent that is truly one of a kind: for an animal, a child and a connoisseur in you.

Notes: leather, musk, toffee, iris, saffron.

Patchouli Patch
Eau de toilette
Natural spray 3.4oz

$125

A very chic and modern version of patchouli with a dash of white musk. A rare and innovative blend. Patchouli Patch is truly a delight, just like velvet on skin.

Dzongkha
Eau de toilette
Natural spray 3.4oz

$125

A bewildering fragrance inspired by the Kingdom of Bhutan, by the odors of stones and incense from the temples, of leather, spicy chai tea and opulent nature. An invitation to spirituality and an inside journey. This enveloping fragrance speaks to both women and men and tells a unique story on each skin: that of Dzongkha, the language of Bhutan.

Timbuktu

Eau de toilette
Natural spray 3.4oz

$125

Timbuktu is the second creation in L’Artisan Parfumeur’s collection, “Fragrance captured by a perfumer on his travels”, initiated in 2003 with “Bois Farine” (Flour Wood). Timbuktu is a wild, yet sophisticated fragrance that is ultra sensual on women and men. This perfume was inspired by the unique blend of flowers, oinments, spices and woods that is used by women in the sensual African perfumery tradition.

Ananas Fizz
Pineapple Fizz
Eau de toilette
Natural spray 3.4oz

$125

The sparkling fragrance of Victoria pineapple from the Reunion Islands is in the heart of this exotic cocktail. Coconut cream and rum lend smoothness and sensuality to the effervescent composition, while grapefruit brightens it, balancing the delicious sweetness. A happy, sunny perfume that refreshes on a hot day and reminds of summer all year round.

Notes: grapefruit, rum, pineapple, coconut milk, cedar.

Bottles, Butts & Boots - at Nolita

2009-05-30T17:35:00.000-07:00

Bottles, Butts & Boots - A western-themed benefit party for Big Brothers Big Sisters, was held at Nolita in Portland on May 29, 2009. The party was the culmination of the larger "Nolita Denim Swap", which collected gently-used jeans to donate to Big Brothers Big Sisters.

Widmer Brothers Brewery donated over 35,000 ounces of beer for the event! Guests had an opportunity to purchase one or more $10 tickets to draw from the "Widmer Wall of Beer", with products valued from $5-60. Several lucky folks went home with entire Widmer kegs! Party-goers were encouraged to wear jeans and western-themed attire. For $5, attendees could purchase a raffle ticket to win a brand-new pair of Nolita jeans!

The event was a great success! Every ticket for the Widmer-Wall-of-Beer was sold! And, over 100 tickets to the jeans raffle were sold! Every penny from the evening's proceeds went to Big Brothers Big Sisters Columbia-Northwest.

Thank you to Just Out Magazine, Neighborhood Notes, Portland Mercury, everyone at Big Brothers Big Sisters, Explore the Pearl, Hudson Jeans, Seven for all Mankind, Kacey Montoya of KOIN Local 6, Kevin Coari of KPTV Fox 12, our friends, family, and customers ...and especially Widmer Brothers for making this event such a darn-good time!

Country Songs from the party - handpicked by music guru, Shannon Zweck

King Of The Road - Roger Miller
Don't Come home A Drinkin' With Lovin' On Your Mind - Loretta Lynn
Jolene - Dolly Parton
Stand By Your Man - Tammy Wynette
El Paso - Marty Robbins

2009-05-28T16:42:00.000-07:00

Good morning! Welcome to Nolita at 4:30am.

We now have donuts, bagels, coffee, and orange juice for any customers who arrive before dawn.

Its our new recession strategy!

Just kidding! The front doors at Nolita are always locked at 4:30am.

But on Thursday, May 28th, we opened early for a good cause.

Kacey Montoya from KOIN TV stopped by to talk about the upcoming Bottles, Butts, & Boots Party

(what do these three things have in common? A countrified denim fundraising party, that's what).

Rob Widmer, of Widmer Brothers Brewery, also took part in the morning's action.

Widmer is a great local Portland-based company (so great they were willing to raffle off 10 party-kegs,

10 mini-kegs, and 95 six-packs of Widmer beer to the Bottles, Butts & Boots party)!

That's more than 28,000 ounces of local, delicious beer!

Widmer Brewery celebrated its 25th Anniversary this year. Congratulations!

The shoot was a lot of fun. Tons of our favorite peeps were there,

including Kirsten from Outside Media, Tess and Lynn from Big Brothers Big Sisters,

Rob Widmer, and Kacey Montoya from KOIN.

Hey I guess mornings CAN be fun! Just as long as there's beer ...

alkemie jewelry: good as gold.

2009-05-16T13:37:00.000-07:00

-

During our last buying trip to Los Angeles, we were magnetically drawn into a small jewelry booth at a trade show. We were smitten by the earthy, rugged feel of Alkemie jewelry. Right away we started ordering pieces we liked. The curiosity-shop-inspired display (see photos top left) was irresistible.

Our instant attraction to Alkemie jewelry only became stronger when we met the designers, Dara and Ashley (a husband-and-wife duo). They explained Alkemie is forged from 100% reclaimed metal, including old bullet casings, and vintage chains. Alkemie is one of the most environmentally responsible lines of jewelry currently available in the world.

In fact, the negative impact from jewelry production has become surprisingly colossal in more recent years. The story behind Alkemie's metals has captured the attention of eco-conscious and green organizations everywhere.

Plus, their gorgeous designs and fine craftsmanship make Alkemie jewelry more art than accessory.

Prairie Underground Spring 2009

2009-02-21T14:52:00.000-08:00

PRAIRIE UNDERGROUND
Spring 2009 @ nolita

Davora and Camilla have managed to steal our hearts yet again this season. They are introducing some really cute new styles this Spring! We really took our time deciding what color and style combinations were the very best. Sometimes we even lost sleep over it! If you find yourself debating over styles and colors, or if you want to place an order, shoot us an email at nolitaportland@hotmail.com or call 502.274.7114. As in seasons past, we offer FREE SHIPPING* on Prairie Underground. *FREE UPS GROUND ON BLOG PURCHASES OF $100 OR MORE

DREAMCATCHER JACKET
$259
Color: Graphite

We predict the wear-with-everything Dreamcatcher Jacket will be the next must-have item for any woman who already owns a Prairie Underground hoodie. It has the perfect drape, and it can be worn open, closed, cinched, or buttoned. It looks great with jeans, skirts, or leggings. We chose it in Graphite, for a dressier feel. Order by emailing nolitaportland@hotmail.com.

VICTORIAN HOODIE

$198

Color: Natural

The new Victorian Hoodie is the answer for those of you who find the Short Cloak Hoodie a little too flared at the waist. The Victorian Hoodie fits like a "feminine bomber jacket". It has delicate lace trim lining the zipper instead of ruffles along the pockets. It does have the same hood as the Cloak Hoodies, and a full-length sleeve. We chose it in natural, so you can see all the details often lost in darker colors. Order by emailing nolitaportland@hotmail.com.

JUMBO TOTES $239

Another Spring 2009 favorite: the Jumbo Totes! We freaked out when we saw our sales rep carrying the prototype of this bag last year. Prairie Underground's Jumbo Totes are made of a very substantial Organic hemp and cotton blend. The prints on them are just dynamic...and limited edition. The bottoms are reinforced with sturdy fabric. There are several interior pockets, and a clip inside makes it easy to expand for more room. So, here they finally are...for a fleeting moment, anyway. They did not produce very many, so these are sure to be collector's items.

Order one by emailing nolitaportland@hotmail.com.

Above: Cracks Jumbo Tote

Above: Eyeballs Jumbo Tote

3/4 SLEEVE SHORT CLOAK HOODIE $198
Color: Avocado

We couldn't resist one of their newest colors, Avocado, even though we typically like black and neutrals. We ordered it in the 3/4 Sleeve Short Cloak Hoodie, which is just enough color for us, but not too much. Think the inside of a fresh, ripe avocado, and that's the color it is in real life. We love the Avocado Cloak Hoodie worn with denim. Or cowboy boots, if you like that sort of thing. To order, please email nolitaportland@hotmail.com.

3/4 SLEEVE SHORT CLOAK HOODIE $198

or LONG CLOAK HOODIE $249

Color: Ink Pot

We fell in L-O-V-E with a color called Ink pot, a flattering-on-everyone dark purple. We were so smitten, we custom ordered it in both the 3/4 Sleeve Short Cloak and the Long Cloak Hoodie. Ink Pot goes well with both black and brown accessories! The purple is not too bright or overwhelming, and we know you'll be smitten, too. Ink Pot was offered in the Fall of 2008, but not many stores ordered it because the zipper was a bright contrast color. We asked, "Can Prairie Underground make the zipper darker?". They said yes! And, as a result, we are one of few stores with Ink Pot, and we like it that way. To order, email nolitaportland@hotmail.com.

PRAIRIE HOODIE $219

Color: Natural

Of course, we'll always have the Signature Prairie Hoodie if you want (another) one. We think the new color natural looks fresh and light. You just may need to purchase this one...it goes with everything! If you're not "ready" for the natural, may we suggest the Olive? It was so popular last Fall, we ordered it again! Or, we usually also have black, grey, or brown in stock. Get one by emailing nolitaportland@hotmail.com.

LONG CLOAK HOODIE $249
Color: Drab

Sure, drab sounds boring...but it's everything but. Drab is a steely green-grey, like tormented, stormy skies. Drab is darker than last season's "Grey Flannel" and a bit greener than "Graphite". At first, you may not notice it. But then, it wins you over with its unexpected neutrality. If you'd like to order, please email nolitaportland@hotmail.com.

Alternative Apparel

2008-11-25T13:54:00.000-08:00

We've been hunting for a reasonably priced (yet stylish) line of tees for men and women for a long time. Luckily, we gave Alternative Apparel a second look. Within the last year, they've added tons of new, updated options for men and women. Most retail between $20 and $39.

Many tees are eco-friendly and/or organic! We carry a large assortment of styles here at the Portland store, and we receive new shipments all the time. You can view their entire collection at http://www.alternativeapparel.com/. Check the website out and bring your wish list into the shop!

Saint Grace Scarves.

2008-11-25T13:38:00.000-08:00

These scarves from Saint Grace of Los Angeles are comfy, machine-washable, and are perfect for a little extra warmth without something itchy next to your skin. And they are great gifts for you or others at $39. We also have a rugby-stripe version which retails at $49. Both men and women love them!

DL 1961 - Staff Pick for "Best Butt Jeans" at Nolita.

Rihanna in her DL1961 jeans

We don't know about you, but we are sick of jeans getting baggy and saggy in all the wrong places. Our answer: DL1961. The denim material retains its shape perfectly! This new line of denim out of LA is "part attitude, part technology, and completely sexy." These are truly flattering in every size.

With XFIT LYCRA, a four-way stretch material that moves 360 degrees with your body, you can't go wrong. These jeans are as comfy as your leggings and make your butt look like you are putting that gym membership to good use.

We heart Simon Miller.

2008-11-22T16:58:00.000-08:00

A friend of ours at a big denim line told us her friend, Simon Miller, was making some sick jeans we had to check out (believe it or not, we hear this all the time and are usually disappointed by what we see). But, we were blown away by his perfect fit for every guy. And we confess: we love his New Zealand accent, too.

Forbes.com says: "SIMON MILLER aims to make shopping for denim easier for guys. To that end, he makes only one style, with a simple, slim straight leg that's available in 10 different washes, from the PACIFIC wash to the dark, raw LOS ANGELES wash. The classic cut works well on most body types". Visit www.simonmillerjeans.com to learn more.

We just love that the hem doesn't drag under shoes. Perfect. Email nolitaportland@hotmail.com for the latest selection.

Naked and Famous in Portland, Oregon.

2008-11-21T18:54:00.000-08:00

NOW IN STOCK!
Brandon, the designer of Canadian-based denim line Naked and Famous, is a bit of a bad-ass. He is anti-celebrity and anti-endorsment. Which means he is quite a rebel as far as today's celeb-driven society is concerned. And he's not anything like the other designers we carry. Which is why GQ Magazine can't stop raving about him (see below).

Be sure to check out http://www.nakedandfamousdenim.com/ for loads of cool information about the brand, including the following:

"Naked & Famous Denim uses only the most unique and rare denim fabrics from Japan. The prestigious mill in Japan, from which we import all our fabric, is committed to producing only the best (and most expensive) denim in the world. Throughout each step in denim production (weaving, dyeing, finishing…) the mill uses a combination of old school and modern methods and practices. So much culture and history is poured into the fabric so that it can be appreciated by the denim purist.

We keep all our jeans raw and simple. No washes, no embroidery, no gimmicks… just the best fabric in the world combined with modern fits. We have eliminated these costly (and in our opinion unnecessary) after-effects, and have stripped down our jeans to the core essentials. Now true denimheads and newcomers alike can enjoy these special fabrics at a reasonable price."

So, boys, if you were looking for the perfect pair of plain but cool jeans to wear with everything from a suit jacket to a hooded sweatshirt, we have your answer. Nolita is one of the only places in Portland you can find them. So email nolitaportland@hotmail.com if you're into it.

And, if you are a cashmere-junkie, or have yet to become one, may we suggest a James Perse sweater?

Another do-gooder denim company! But, hey, we're not complaining.

GOOD SOCIETY is a denim (and soon-to-be clothing) line based in Seattle, Washington.

The details are clean, the fit is great, and the prices are more reasonable than almost every denim line out there. Right now, Nolita just has the Straight Leg in the Raw wash, but we plan on expanding our assortment of fits and washes in our Portland location...

But "raw & straight" go together like "peas & carrots" so we think our male customers will be happy for now. http://www.goodsociety.org/.

Finally...comfortable jeans are stylish! Get into the latest slouchy denim look with Current/Elliott. The drape and softness of the fabric is amazing. You will never want to take them off (it's OK because neither do Kate Beckinsale, Reese Witherspoon or Katie Holmes).

The female design-duo ( Emily Current & Marrit Elliott) of C/E modeled the fit after Levi's XXX jeans from waaaaay back in the day, but corrected the measurements to be flattering on a woman. And then they make the jeans out of that luscious fabric (we already mentioned)! We have lots of washes arriving you may be into such as: Love Destroy, Super Love Destroy, Easy Love, and Tattered from Current Elliott.

Want to be notified when we get new styles? Give us a call (503)274-7114 or email nolitaportland@hotmail.com.

Current Elliott jeans will be available at both the Portland, Oregon and Missoula, Montana locations.

Back View

We managed to get our hands on a few more Leather Bomber Jackets from Young Fabulous & Broke's designer, Heidi. She said that we HAD to get in on the re-cut of this phenomenal jacket, which surprisingly retails just under $400.

Unlike the Mike & Chris leather jackets which retail for $800+ (of which Nolita has carried just about every style offered over the past few years) this jacket gives you the style you desire at a price you can afford!

Fashion editors and celebs everywhere are trying to get their hands on this jacket. Act fast. Call now if you want one! The re-stock of this amazing jacket will go fast! Call (503)274-7114.

Nolita-Missoula relocates!

2008-05-31T14:25:00.000-07:00

The timing couldn't have been better. Right around its sixth birthday, the Missoula branch of Nolita relocated to a beautiful new space up the street.

The stand-alone historic building is shared by Nolita and Evolve home furnishings. Hand-scraped wood floors and clean, white walls lend an air of modern sophistication to the formerly rough space. Ty Best, Nolita's designer-of-choice, created custom shelving, racks, and counters that complement the area's rugged background.

Because Nolita and Evolve blend seamlessly through two interior openings, you could spend the afternoon trying on Helmut Lang dresses and True Religion jeans while browsing Evolve's collection of throw pillows, sofas, and vases by Gus and Roost.

And, you might just score a cocktail from their in-house bar.

Now, that's shopping!

Visit Nolita at 531 N. Higgins, Missoula, MT 59802.

E.W.O.P. Event

2008-05-28T17:10:00.000-07:00

If you are an entrepreneur, or even if you aspire to be one, this is a great event for you! It is a once-yearly opportunity to build relationships with other wonderful ladies in business. And, ahem, please note Nolita will be there, too!

Please call Katy at (503)274-7114 with any questions.
