November settles in, softening the edges of daily life and inviting a quieter way of moving about. The days shorten, the light mellows, and everything feels a little more intimate. Conversations linger, dinners stretch long after the plates are cleared and the familiar presence of loved ones becomes its own kind of grounding.

October pulls us inward as the air gets crispier, our palette deepens and instinctively we begin to reach for weightier objects. Think wool that carries structure, rich leather that’s softened over time, that perfect boot that feels broken-in yet poised. Getting dressed this month feels like a fresh new ritual.

To mark the occasion, we sat down with our founder Brittany to reflect on the beginnings, turning points and new perspectives that can come only with time and experience.

September slows the edges of summer. The air sharpens in the mornings, the light softens by evening, and suddenly the textures around us start to matter even more. One of our most coveted moments of fall? Swapping out our wardrobe for pieces that give us a reset. There’s an energy in changing things out, especially shoes.

One week you’re barefoot with sand in your toes, the next you’re thinking about your calendar again. School starts for the kids, but the shift isn’t just theirs—everyone seems to trade a little of the summer haze for a sharper focus. Emails get answered. Mornings start earlier. But along with the productivity comes a pull toward comfort—coffee refills, early sunsets, a sweater always within reach.

July calls for ease. Our hair has found its summer shape, we’ve stopped asking what day it is and our morning routine is down to five minutes. Bronzer, brows—check. Red feels good right now: cheeks, nails, maybe a glazed lip that’s playful and confident. 

June calls for a softer touch. There’s something about this stretch of the season just before summer peaks that invites us to linger a little longer. Right now, we’re drawn to pieces that feel sheer and weightless, with delicate details that whisper instead of shout. Think mesh textures, lace trims, and light filtering through pale florals. It’s that beautiful in-between: there, but not fully revealed.

Mahal rugs hold a special place in our hearts. With their distinctive blend of traditional Persian craftsmanship and timeless, organic design, Mahal rugs embody everything we admire in vintage textiles. In this post, we uncover the origins, distinct qualities, and enduring appeal of Mahal rugs and why they are such an iconic staple in the world of well-collected interior design.

It’s the month where everything starts to hum with energy. Think: vintage sports cars zipping along the Côte d’Azur, striped umbrellas on the sand, and a well-placed rug underfoot in a coastal villa layered with old-world charm.
