Faith + Fashion = "Dovetail Clothing Company"
When people think of Christian clothing they put it in one box, what type of apparel/style does Dovetail carry? "We have dresses, classic shirts, polo's etc. We standout because we don't just do t-shirts, we actually have stylish clothes to wear out to different christian events or casual wear. Whats the special detail on the polo? "On the polo we have a special prayer pocket with the Lord's prayer printed in the pocket, so that mades our polo really unique." 
"We will never manufacture in a country that prosecutes religious freedom, so you won’t find any Chinese goods. We are also giving back to hundreds of communities with the Heifer International fund who believe “Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime”. -Mercedes Gonzalez
I think Dovetail is such a diligent and inspiring Christian clothing company! It has major purpose, and I am excited for their Spring/2012 release. Their are garments available for order and they are perfect for that meaningful Holiday gift!
Our Passion:
Dovetail clothing company is fashion forward while being modest and ethical in its business practices. We believe in giving back by being charitable and together we are building a community where we can identify ourselves as Christians.

Pop Top Accessories
"Nice! Who made your bag?!" This was exactly my thought process to the customer I rung out at work, when she pulled out her sliver chic wallet. It was so cute and went really well with her sophisticated look. She told me it was called Escama Studio made in Brazil out of recycled aluminum pop tops & crochet. Very creative and extremely innovate! Escama Studio style are formed together from California and Brazil base locations. Each accessory piece has the a personal signature of the creator inside. Also on Escama web site, you get a chance to see who put these master pieces together and you can send thank you notes/emails. Its really a blessing about this Fair Trade partnership because you actually can feel how they take great pride and joy in what they do together.

"Beautiful Things Come In Small Packages"
Jamie Lim an inspiring designer, born in Texas and raised in Hong Kong. With her artist eye and a blend of both surroundings she birthed KAYU. The word KAYU means "wood". All of her products are handmade and used with natural materials. Jamie had a love for bamboo since a young age, so in 2008 she incorporated bamboo as the star of her first eyewear collection. Then in 2010 the the collection expanded, with a line of bags. I think what made this collection unique, is the classic shape with the edgy detailed print. All of the totes and clutches are made from shell and straw.
Mel Tote $112.00
Mel Tote $112.00
Lilian Envelope $94.50 
Denise Mother of Pearl $350.00
Rawa bamboo sunglasses $126.00
When you purchase a pair of shades and or bag, 2% of the purchase is going towards non-profit organizations. The 2% goes to Awareness Cambodia and Unite for Sight; one-sight restoring surgery for every eyewear sold and a backpack with school supplies for each bag sold.
"Everything I do is inspired by the people I meet and the places I visit. KAYU was created as an expression of joy and gratefulness - for family, for love, for life, and I'm so happy to share this journey with you." -Jamie Li

Shirts on a Mission!
I've always been very interested in brands that have a unique style and classic taste. As I was doing a little research I stumbled across a brand called Out of Print. Immediately after reading their mission statement, I was intrigued by their awesome concept. Out of Print is an apparel retail brand that sale t-shirts with a story. They have classic book covers or quotes from different books. The purpose of Out of Print is to celebrate the world greatest books through fashion. They are aware of certain parts of the world not being able to have books, so their plan is to help change that problem. For every t-shirt sold there is a book donated to a community that lacks access. Out of Print is in parnter with Books for Africa to help give books back.
The t-shirts come in men, women and kids. Price at $22-$28, they have this cool vintage look to it. I think they are perfect for a special gift because you are giving to more than one person. I think it would be awesome if Out of Print would take a request for books they might not have or allow you to customize your shirt. Hmm...maybe that can be in their future. So what's your story?

Toms "One for One" has a NEW chapter!
That's not all! Tom has now opened a new chapter of One for One with eye wear! Can it get any better?! So now when you buy shades you can be "cool" for a purpose. You have help someone get medical for their eyes, get their sight back and or get glasses. This is really brilliant and definitely inspiring to me. Its something about Brands/Companies/People that are really here to make a difference or I should say change the world. I support TOMS movement and I can't wait to get me a pair of shades! They are priced at $135 and come with three strips on the side. The first one for you, one for the person you help give sight back to and the third is the connect color in the middle. One for One.
