Mods and Rockers

The new company X’Tige by Poemme Inc represents a handful of emerging European designers, each collection individually unique and intriguing, and all worth a moment or two of your attention during their 1st Annual Sample Sale. With such an exceptional selection, it will be interesting to see what new and noteworthy labels future events by X’Tige will bring to our attention. Although not a vast array of merchandise, the small collection of bags, jewelry, and clothing holds a little something for everyone.

Mods and Rockers, a line of handbags made in Italy and created by former Judith Leiber designers, are available for up to 60% off their retail price (ranging around $400). On sale are amazing evening bags with such features as Shrunken Leather and Swarovski Crystal Detail that are created for chic young women who wish to easily transition their clutches from day to night. Regular priced items such as the Suede Kiss Bag with Heat Infused Studs ($995) will also be on hand for purchase. Jen Mascali boho chic bags are displayed in a neighboring section, another funky purse option for the spring. Her leather Journey Bag will be marked down to $328 (orig. $820).

German designer Reina and Roses produces Mediterranean-esque floor length dresses, bikinis, and awesome cover-ups. Samples and older stock is up for grabs for up to 50% off, ringing between $150-$300 and proving to be among the most reasonably priced merchandise within the showroom.

Incredibly gorgeous Philippe Audibert Silver Jewelry embellished with Swarovski is also available and noteworthy. His regular collection that ranges from $100-$900, as well as a great sale on his beautiful cuffs for up to 70% off retail prices, are sure to make you the talk of the town this spring. The cuffs are anywhere from your average, thinner bracelet all the way up to a wonderfully long cuff that will decorate nearly half of your forearm.

Don’t forget to check out the eccentric Mua Mua Dolls ($120), an item X’Tige founder Margarita Martinez is sure will fly off the shelves when they hit stores this summer. These hand stitched dolls are made to replicate such fashionable celebrities as Anna Wintour (pictured), Karl Lagerfeld, Beyonce Knowles and Lady Gaga, amongst others, and are seriously amazing.

Who doesn’t love to shop “what’s next” before everyone else in town has the chance to get their hands on it? The X’Tige Sample Sale will introduce you not only to a sure to be trendy collection of merchandise, but also to a promising new showroom that is sure your to bring you what’s fashionable tomorrow, today.
