If BDMOTP could be a designer, Shakkei is the one.  The Shakkei Spring/Summer 2014 collection was absolutely fabulous and the suits were perfect.  Classic and tailored, this collection was beautiful.  The hats were an excellent touch-perfect for spring.

The exciting part is that as we spoke with the Shakkei designer, a sharp, kind young man named Gabriel Baradee, we realized that the collection, (actually, all of his collections) are made from organic and sustainable fabrics.  Even the buttons are made from stones, coconut or shells.   You can´t help but love the green aspect!

The Shakkei collections are exclusively made right here in Austria.  The aesthetics stem from Japenese art (now the name Shakkei makes sense!) and have an international influence.
