Making Way for Spring!




It’s that time of year again ... time to start clearing the racks in anticipation of Spring arrivals! This means that you, dear Momo shopper, are privy to freshly discounted clothing and accessories. We’ve just finished marking down an entire rack of togs to help you spruce up your current wardrobe — there are more chilly days ahead!

Here are a few samples of what you can find here in the shop:

Dramatic and elegant Icelandic “Corina” wrap. Car-coat length and made of sturdy and warm boiled wool. Only available in alpine green.
Available in Alpine Green
Just Female from Denmark “High Blouse” top has a bold graphic print in white and ever-versatile navy blue.


Simple, comfortable, timeless designs from Nanso of Finland. The cheerfully orange “Marjo” dress has a flattering high waist.


The black “Manna” dress can be worn with just about anything.












The Montreal-baesd Hatley Field Jacket is adjustable at the waist and at the bottom to ensure a perfect weatherproof fit. It's lined with a whimsical elephant print, as well!

Spanish Skunkfunk is one of the few clothing manufacturers in the world that is GOTS sustainability certified! You can feel good about what you're wearing for a plethora of reason. Here is their “Aizkorri” skirt.

















We have long loved Meg Cohen's luxurious cashmere. Come in and check out our “arm sox” (arm warmers with a convenient thumbhole) and fingerless cashmere gloves.



Pop in for a perusal of the latest Sale items! Or just to say “hi”. We love you no matter what.

Rain, Rain Went Away (and Now it’s Coming Back to Stay)


“Into each life some rain must fall.” ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

As difficult as it is to imagine while we are basking in this luxurious and unexpected sunshine, rain is on its way back. Luckily, Momo has got you covered. Fresh from the rain(ier) Canadian North:

HATLEY
20 years ago, artist Alice Oldland was painting whimsical farmyard animals. Husband John thought it would be fun to print them onto aprons. They were wildly successful – thus Hatley was born. Now run by their three sons, Hatley is proud to have many of their goods produced in textile-centric Tirupur, India where they support and fund the Open Door Mercy Home orphanage.

The Field Rain Jacket has sealed seams, deep pockets and a relaxed fit perfect for layering. We love their linings: black and white stripes for the classic black and whimsical wee elephants hiding inside of the purple jacket.

Fantastic elephant lining! 

Momo has the Classic Jacket in two colors. “Indian Floral” is an elegant blue-on-blue and the  red/blue polka dot jacket is an adult take on a playful pattern. The Classic raincoat features adorable over-sized buttons and a removable hood.


We are sad to say that this is the last that we will see of Hatley’s raincoats, as they will no longer be producing them! Get one while you can ...

UMBRELLA SHOP
It was the 1920s in Toronto, Ontario. Isadore Flander was working as a door-to-door umbrella repair man, slowly building a successful business. Successful enough, in fact, that in 1935 he and his family moved to Vancouver, BC and founded the Umbrella Shop. Now run by his granddaughter Corry, it is thought that the Flander’s umbrella factory is the last in North America.

Vancouver receives far more rain than Seattle (62.5 inches vs. 37.41). It makes sense that an umbrella company would thrive there and that they would make a truly high-quality, durable product. Momo has a fresh batch of umbies to choose from in a ton of different colors and patterns, some of which include:

Super-compact skinny mini weighs only 138 grams and will easily fit into a purse or coat pocket.

Show your MLS Sounders love with a sporty soccer ball handle!

Two fold umbrellas with acrylic or wood handles and a leather carrying strap. Oil tempered, with steel ribs for extra strength. Collapsible and small, this will tuck right into your messenger bag or large purse.

A Van Gogh print is one of many colorways on hand.

Longfellow is right about rain falling ... so stick with us and we’ll keep you dry in style.
