Prairie Underground Spring 2009


PRAIRIE UNDERGROUND
Spring 2009 @ nolita


Davora and Camilla have managed to steal our hearts yet again this season. They are introducing some really cute new styles this Spring! We really took our time deciding what color and style combinations were the very best. Sometimes we even lost sleep over it! If you find yourself debating over styles and colors, or if you want to place an order, shoot us an email at nolitaportland@hotmail.com or call 502.274.7114. As in seasons past, we offer FREE SHIPPING* on Prairie Underground. *FREE UPS GROUND ON BLOG PURCHASES OF $100 OR MORE


DREAMCATCHER JACKET
$259
Color: Graphite

We predict the wear-with-everything Dreamcatcher Jacket will be the next must-have item for any woman who already owns a Prairie Underground hoodie. It has the perfect drape, and it can be worn open, closed, cinched, or buttoned. It looks great with jeans, skirts, or leggings. We chose it in Graphite, for a dressier feel. Order by emailing nolitaportland@hotmail.com.



VICTORIAN HOODIE
$198
Color: Natural
The new Victorian Hoodie is the answer for those of you who find the Short Cloak Hoodie a little too flared at the waist. The Victorian Hoodie fits like a "feminine bomber jacket". It has delicate lace trim lining the zipper instead of ruffles along the pockets. It does have the same hood as the Cloak Hoodies, and a full-length sleeve. We chose it in natural, so you can see all the details often lost in darker colors. Order by emailing nolitaportland@hotmail.com.


JUMBO TOTES $239

Another Spring 2009 favorite: the Jumbo Totes! We freaked out when we saw our sales rep carrying the prototype of this bag last year. Prairie Underground's Jumbo Totes are made of a very substantial Organic hemp and cotton blend. The prints on them are just dynamic...and limited edition. The bottoms are reinforced with sturdy fabric. There are several interior pockets, and a clip inside makes it easy to expand for more room. So, here they finally are...for a fleeting moment, anyway. They did not produce very many, so these are sure to be collector's items.

Order one by emailing nolitaportland@hotmail.com.

3/4 SLEEVE SHORT CLOAK HOODIE $198
Color: Avocado

We couldn't resist one of their newest colors, Avocado, even though we typically like black and neutrals. We ordered it in the 3/4 Sleeve Short Cloak Hoodie, which is just enough color for us, but not too much. Think the inside of a fresh, ripe avocado, and that's the color it is in real life. We love the Avocado Cloak Hoodie worn with denim. Or cowboy boots, if you like that sort of thing. To order, please email nolitaportland@hotmail.com.



3/4 SLEEVE SHORT CLOAK HOODIE $198
or LONG CLOAK HOODIE $249
Color: Ink Pot

We fell in L-O-V-E with a color called Ink pot, a flattering-on-everyone dark purple. We were so smitten, we custom ordered it in both the 3/4 Sleeve Short Cloak and the Long Cloak Hoodie. Ink Pot goes well with both black and brown accessories! The purple is not too bright or overwhelming, and we know you'll be smitten, too. Ink Pot was offered in the Fall of 2008, but not many stores ordered it because the zipper was a bright contrast color. We asked, "Can Prairie Underground make the zipper darker?". They said yes! And, as a result, we are one of few stores with Ink Pot, and we like it that way. To order, email nolitaportland@hotmail.com.




PRAIRIE HOODIE $219

Color: Natural

Of course, we'll always have the Signature Prairie Hoodie if you want (another) one. We think the new color natural looks fresh and light. You just may need to purchase this one...it goes with everything! If you're not "ready" for the natural, may we suggest the Olive? It was so popular last Fall, we ordered it again! Or, we usually also have black, grey, or brown in stock. Get one by emailing nolitaportland@hotmail.com.


LONG CLOAK HOODIE $249
Color: Drab

Sure, drab sounds boring...but it's everything but. Drab is a steely green-grey, like tormented, stormy skies. Drab is darker than last season's "Grey Flannel" and a bit greener than "Graphite". At first, you may not notice it. But then, it wins you over with its unexpected neutrality. If you'd like to order, please email nolitaportland@hotmail.com.
