J. Landa Summer Social with Tangerine Boutique

Join us and our friends Tangerine Boutique from Galveston Island for a summer kick-off party on Thursday, June 20, from 10 am to 6 pm!

The chic boutique is a jewel of women's clothing and accessories in the heart of downtown Galveston, and owner Kim Cherryhomes is bringing the store's casual West Coast couture to Houston for a day. Kim will bring with her one of Tangerine's best selling brands, Natalie Martin. Her flowy dresses are a summer wardrobe staple – understated glamour at its best. Pair with Jay's latest Summer Luxe collection for an effortlessly chic look. 

Natalie Martin's dresses are made from hand batik printed silk. Batik is a centuries old craft performed by the finest artisans in Indonesia. This painstaking process involves the technique of manual wax-resist dying. Once the fabric is painted with wax designs, it is placed in a dye bath where only the areas with no wax are dyed. The wax is then removed with boiling water, and repeated if multiple colors are desired. Because this process is all done by hand (not one machine involved) and then dried by the sun, you will find some color and printing differences between fabrics and products. This is what gives her collection its unique charm, and makes each piece special.
