Dear friends,

Renee's now proudly offers MosMosh, a new Danish line of contemporary pants and jeans. We discovered this line on our market trip to New York last February.


Available in black, caramel and denim, the hip fit and stretchy feel make this a line any body can wear with confidence.


Come in to try a pair on today.


Many of our Fidji shoes for fall have arrived. Take a look!








These patent leather boots from Naot were so popular last year that we are offering them again.



A comfy boot, the shank stretches to accommodate all calf sizes. Try them for yourself!

Hope to see you in Renee's soon!

With love,

Renee

P.S. There is no better time to shop at Renee’s than March or April, when our selection is at its very best.

Hello, there!

Today I will spend time in Seattle combing through lots of "stuff" to choose what else, dear readers, you might like me to add to the collection here at Renee's. You may know I do not consider myself a shopper. I was raised in a frugal, minimalist home. How ironic that I now shop for a living! I do this for you, so you don't have to!

Many of you have told me you rely on my decisions. While that is flattering, I also think of it as a huge responsibility, one I am still happy to grab hold of. Thank you for giving me this opportunity.

While I am culling through what I can only picture as a huge haystack for just the right items, I often ask the sellers where the merchandise is manufactured. I try to support companies whose manufacturing is done in the U.S., and I am also fond of Canadian-made lines. I like to give my business to small, women-owned manufacturers when possible.

Recently I wrote a letter to the editor of the Everett Herald about American-made merchandise, and they saw fit to publish it. While not everything I bring to Renee's is made in America, the majority is. I will continue my search.

What else is important to you when you are shopping, dear readers? What do you mindfully and deliberately choose?

We received new items from Nomadic Traders (below) and Naot shoes (pictured above)!
