The Finishing Touch: Accessories for Autumn

As the air begins to cool and the light lengthens into amber, we feel the season turn. Summer’s gold gives way to indigo dusk, and the leaves burnish before they let go. The world, it seems, is exhaling.

In the same quiet way, our artisans are tending their own transitions. Hands dip into dye, coaxing cloth into deeper hues, preparing what will warm us through the months ahead. From Morocco’s souks to India’s courtyards, from the highlands of Peru to the looms of Guatemala, a shared rhythm beats: gather, color, weave, transform.

Our Indigo Alchemy Collection is born of that rhythm. These fall accessories—shawls that feel like twilight, scarves brushed with copper and earth, jewelry that catches the season’s last light—remind us that beauty is cyclical. That endings can be beginnings, and change can be exquisite.

This season, that rhythm travels the world:

In Ethiopia, Sammy’s artisans shape supple leather into clutches and bags dyed in rich indigo, each stitch alive with quiet strength.

In Zimbabwe  Fyoli Fyoli’s beaded earrings shimmer like passing clouds—small works of joy, crafted bead by bead.

In Colombia, El Dorado’s women weave sculpted bags that carry the warmth of their mountain earth.

From Nagaland in northeast India, traditional coinwork finds new life in the Short Coin Necklace and the Long Coin Necklace with Pendant; pieces that glimmer with stories of trade, travel, and transformation.

When we wrap one of these pieces around our shoulders, we feel connected to the women who made it, to the hands that turned plants into pigment and thread into warmth. We feel the quiet strength of the season itself.

To wear these pieces is to wear the turning of the year, the conversation between sky and soil, tradition and today.

With every change of season, we’re grateful for the women who make such transitions visible—who teach us, again and again, how to move through change with grace.

Warmly,
Team Ibu
