Lele Knits and Tessa Clogs Newest Items

    When you experience days of blue skies and sunshine, the best way to take advantage is to be outside. I grab some ground beef, buns, and condiments, to meet my friends in Blue Sky Basin. Bluebird days are meant for grilling out and making memories. This sunny weather can only last so long..snow is in the forecast.

   Just in time for a big winter snowstorm forecast, new items from Lele Knits. Hand-knit, hand-embroidered, and hand-loomed these designs by Debra Belk are inspired by her Lithuanian heritage. Debra uses a blend of cotton and linen to give you warmth during the cold season. Weather wearing her leg warmers, arm warmers, or one of her many fun skirt designs, Lele Knits are unique pieces that make a statement and keep you cozy.

 If you are over the snow, and looking for more sunny days, then take a look at our newest sandals. Tessa has chosen some new leather for this summer, including pink, green, and yellow. The leather has a lizard embossed texture. The new sandal designs come in Ultimate High as well as High Heel. You also have the option to opt for the Scalloped edge, which Tessa cuts out by hand, or the regular raw edge.

3 Awesome Things at Tessa Clogs!

First Awesome Thing: Glogg

    It was great celebrating this Christmas making turns on the fresh snow, in Blue Sky on Vail Mountain. The sky was bluebird in the morning and quickly turned into a flurry by the evening, leaving new deep powder for the next day. It was nice coming off the mountain and enjoying a nice warm cup of mulled wine. I had never tried Glogg before, and thought it would compliment the menu for my holiday party. We added some red wine, let simmer, then added some brandy, this simple and delicious mixture was a hit. Glogg is now my staple for cold weather dinners, and my go-to on these cold, snowy evenings.
Second Awesome Thing: Custom Jewelry
    Tessa recently dropped off some more items to add to the collection of hand stamped charms. I have been working on getting different combinations online, as well as individual charms to personalize your own jewelry. The hand stamped charms are created in Minturn, CO - the same spot that Tessa customizes her unique clogs. The ability to choose your own charms, made this a thoughtful and popular gift this holiday.
Third Awesome Thing: Sale Items
    We have just updated our inventory of sale items. Check out new markdowns from clothing brands, including Desigual, Van Deurs, and Asha. Clogs on sale include the popular Extreme High Red Lily Sandal and the High Heel Natural Cow.

New Designs by Tessa at Tessa Clogs

When I met with Tessa to discuss what she was working on, she was eager to mention the fabric that she had bought. She described the different patterns and suggested how each one can compliment the other. I could tell the joy that Tessa was expressing would transfer into her skirts, known as Tessa Happy Skirts. This versatile skirt can be worn after a session at the gym, a class at the studio, or even at après; worn as something to throw over your base layer.Each skirt is unique and can vary slightly in length. The hem is set at a modest point, and the fabric choice compliments any body type.

Tessa’s Happy Skirt, is just one of the many distinctive items in the Swedish Clog Cabin. From the hand painted clogs, the straps, and Tessa clothing, Tessa’s talent shows through her many products. What I love about Tessa's designs is the personal touches of each item. In Tessa Hand Me Downs, each patch that is cut and then hand embroidered onto clothing. Just like the jeans, Tessa Hand Me Downs shirts, have the hand cut letters and patterns. Stay tuned to see the latest designs by Tessa.
