We don't make many "La Marina" embroidered Mexican peasant blouses in pink, so we thought it would be worthy of a blog post.

Periwinkle: Don't Let the Name Fool You....

Sure, periwinkle sounds a little frivolous but it's actually one of the most breathtaking hues in the color spectrum.  And just to prove it, we've made a bunch of our much loved "La Marbrisa" sleeveless vintage hand embroidered Mexican-style peasant blouses in periwinkle as a tribute:

The sleeveless "La Marbrisa" is perfect for Spring & Summer galavanting.

Sirena Sol by Siren: Inventory Update

We have sold out of most styles and colors (as of today, May 25, 2012), but more are just a couple of days away from completion.  We're putting the finishing touches on them now.

Meticulously hand tailored, dyed and embroidered, the Sirena Sol collection embodies the spirit of adventure that we love about Mexico by recreating the iconic Oaxacan style blouses and embroidery made famous by the bohemian movement of the free-wheeling 1970's.  We're always inventing new styles and re-inventing the old, so be sure to check back often for the best selection!

Still available: The "Mallorca" (top) in black with red and purple embroidery.  Our customers like to describe it as "Pirate Wench Chic," with a gathered bottom hem, and ruffled, puff sleeves.  We also have a couple of green and royal blue "La Mariposa" blouses (above) in stock, which are directly based on the traditional Mexican-Poblana cut and embroidery patterns.

Don't hesitate to drop us a line if you have any questions!

Happy Almost Cinco de Mayo!

Olé!  You'll have to wait until September 6 for Mexican Independence day.  In the mean time, we invite you to celebrate the 1862 Mexican victory over the French at the battle of Puebla on May 5 with one of our fantastic Mexican Peasant Blouses.

Part of Siren's Sirena Sol Collection, the "La Sirena" sleeveless keeps the Cinco de Mayo Celebration alive year 'round.

Each of our Sirena Sol Mexican Peasant Tops is dyed and embroidered by hand in a style that is faithful to the traditional floral designs of the Mexican mainland. Super light and airy, these are the perfect way to spice up a stand up paddle around the bay or a trip to beach.

Yeah!
