New from Yala... Women's F/W 2017 Collection

Yala Designs offers luxurious, comfortable, sustainable clothing, kids' and bedding products that we know you'll love. We've been carrying Yala in store and online for a while now, and we can't have enough of it! Their clothing pieces have become staples in Liz's and Scarlett Alley employees' wardrobes, as well as our customers'. We love that they're great quality, comfortable, fashionable, and most of all... sustainable! Whether you need basic tees and leggings, stylish dresses for work or a night out, or athletic styles for yoga and however else you stay active, Yala offers the perfect piece just for you.


Besides the oil industry, the fashion and textiles industry is the most polluting in the world. So, it's nice to know that companies like Yala are doing their best to reduce their environmental impact. To make their clothing and other products, Yala uses organic bamboo, cotton, and silk. What's so great about bamboo is that it is one of the most abundant renewable resources in the world and also absorbs 5x more carbon and produces 35% more oxygen than a similar group of trees. The process of spinning their bamboo into yarn is chemical free and as localized as possible. Any water and waste products from the process of making a garment - from creating the yarns to sewing the garments together - is cleaned, reused and recycled. Yala's products are ones that you can feel safe wearing and also feel great about your carbon footprint and environmental impact.


For their Fall/Winter 2017 collection, Yala designers were inspired by the colors of the seasons - rich burgundy and gold tones for fall and cool, icy blues and greys for winter. "The rich colors and textures of the old world" are how they specifically describe their inspiration for the fall collection and "nomadic paths and ethereal landscapes" sum up their vision for winter. Each has an emphasis on layering their pieces together for fashion and warmth purposes as we transition into these cooler seasons!


It's about time to update your wardrobe for the changing seasons, so take a peek online where we've added all the new styles for Fall and Winter! Please come by the storefront, too, to browse through our catalog and get our advice on fit and what we love!
