Our holiday gift guide is here – it’s a festive time once again!
When our new apparel and jewelry collections hit the shelves this season, the Mata team members each snuck a peek at the new stock (...ok, we tried everything on). As box after box of beautiful fall textures and handmade jewelry was unpacked, we mentally cleared out some wardrobe space and added a few styles to our wish lists. We’re passing our list on to you, and have put together this holiday gift guide of our favorite Mata Trade items.
A Fair Trade Holiday Gift Guide
Dappled Shapes Earrings in White
“I'm taking a pottery class right now and have been obsessed with speckled ceramics for going on 2 years now – so, that was the inspiration behind this design. Our bone artisans did such a great job bringing the idea to life, I couldn't resist treating myself to an early Christmas gift from me to me :)” - Miranda
Deco Beam Ring in Gold
Vienna Pleated Dress in Sky
“I’m crossing my fingers for the Deco Beam Ring in gold and the Vienna Pleated Dress in sky - the ring pulls out the gold accents on the dress! They’re both giving me celestial vibes and pair beautifully.” - Meredith
“I’m totally seeing stars with the Vienna Pleated Dress in sky! To go along with the slow fashion movement, I can get so many seasons out of this dress! Layers, layers, layers – bring on the jeans, boots, and maybe even a turtleneck?!” - April
Souk Fringe Earrings in Gold
“I’ve also been eyeing the Souk Fringe Earrings. They showcase our artisans’ gorgeous hammering techniques, which makes this pair just blingy enough to dress up any outfit.” - April
Tiered Midi Dress in Multi
Dobby Weave Skirt in Navy Dot
“Don't let what happened to me happen to you! The Tiered Midi Dress Multi is on the top of my wish list and *sigh* it's sold out (even as an owner, you can’t always snag your favorites before they fly off the shelves!). So instead I'm hoping for the Dobby Weave Skirt, perfect for those of us who want to hide our knees. I'll share some fashion sense I've learned upon entering my forties: just because you *can* wear it doesn't mean you should. I'm finally comfortable in longer lengths and I'm going to flaunt it.” - Michelle
Tulum Tassel Top in Sienna
“We've done this top in a few variations, but the ruffle sleeve on this is my favorite! Sometimes winter dressing can get so boring and cumbersome, but this top is so easy to style with jeans that I always end up reaching for it. It's also a great travel top! I've worn it in India on every trip.” - Miranda
Shape Link Earrings in Gold
“I'm definitely an earring girl and especially love versatile earrings I can wear all the time. The Shape Link Earrings in gold can be worn every day, but aren't the least bit boring because of their fun shape!” - Carly
