For those who dream of exotic travels...
Launched in 2012 by Stephanie von Watzdorf, Figue is a women's luxury lifestyle collection. Named for the ancient fruit, Figue was born out of Stephanie's passion for travel and desire to share the talents of artisans around the world. The collection of ready-to-wear, handbags, shoes, and jewelry has a global spirit, combining unique prints with layered textures and embroideries with hand-beading. The result is a seasonless brand that is every bit as luxurious as it is bohemian. For the women who love to travel—or dream of traveling—to exotic destinations, Stephanie's pieced together her packing list to make like a jetset gypsy...
"These quirky Stella Jean slides make me feel fun! I love the multicolor fringe and jewels. The bright colors are perfect for getting in a summer mood." - SVWCanary"I am obsessed with tie dye and Raquel Allegra does it so well. Her pieces are beautifully made and very comfortable." - SVWAbejas"I would throw this blanket on a bed or a sofa in a summer house. IT would also be a very chic picnic blanket on the beach. The little metal sequins ward off the evil spirits, so it would be a very positive picnic!" - SVWFigue"How great is this color?! These Golden Goose sneaks are super comfy and will look great with a summer kaftan." - SVWCanary"I love tassels! These shoes are super comfy and can be worn to the beach and to dinner. The blue reminds me of Greece—heaven." - SVWFigue
"I love the combination of the jewels with the puka shells. Puka shells ward off evil spirits. This necklace would make any outfit feel special with the added benefit of deflecting the evil spirits!" - SVWFigue"These Michael Nelson for Selima sunglasses are made in Italy then shipped to Kenya to be beaded by the Masai tribe. They are a classic aviator shape that looks great on everybody, with the added bonus of the Masai details." - SVWFigue"This reminds me of one of my favorite places: St. Barth. I love the natural pearls with leather. These pieces mix well with my other jewelry." - SVWCanary"I love the blues in this dress and am crazy about navy in the summertime. This dress is great worn alone or layered with silk pajama pants or jeans." - SVWFigue"Her belts have a worn-in, rustic feeling. They are all handmade by artisans in LA and I love anything handmade." - SVWStanley Korshak
