Spice Girl: Saffron Rare Threads Fall ’11

September 30, 2011 By Leave a Comment

The new fall collection from Saffron Rare Threads does women’s day wear with a sophisticated twist befitting office-bound gals and others seeking pieces with profesh polish. A suit, trench dress and trench coat continue designer Priya Saraswati’s emphasis on feminine yet structured cuts, while casual knit pieces give the SRT girl something to wear in her hard-earned down time.

After years in a Mission shop near Dolores Park, Saffron Rare Threads, which just so happens to be celebrating seven years in the biz this fall (stay tuned for news on an upcoming October bash), the San Francisco label calls an Embarcadero Center storefront home these days. Head to the white-walled boutique for Saraswati’s latest designs.

Sneak Peek: Saffron Rare Threads Summer ’11

The latest from local label Saffron Rare Threads continues designer Priya Saraswati’s emphasis on versatile, feminine silhouettes and clean, uncluttered designs in a summer collection of basics with a twist featuring a palette of solid hues.

Ready-to-wear separates in pink, royal blue and neutral black and white are, for the most part, up-for-anything pieces with office-to-party appeal. A streak of youthfulness appears in the subdued snake print of the slim-fitting Gayatri skirt and the twisted shoulder of the asymmetrical Zahira top, while the Tarala dress, Usha top, a boxy jacket and plain-front blazer keep the line grounded and can easily act as wardrobe staples.

Want to see more from this local designer’s latest? A viewing party for the Saffron Rare Threads Summer 2011 line takes place on Thursday at the Embarcadero Center store and includes wine by Alex Sotelo Cellars, a special street food vendor, a 7:30 p.m. fashion show and 15 percent off all night.
