His & Hers : Bridge & Burn

The Momos in Vegas, modeling Fall 2015.

Since 2009 Portland’s Bridge and Burn has been producing classically Northwest clothing: practical yet stylish, durable yet versatile. In characteristic Portland spirit, 1% of Bridge and Burn’s retail sales are donated to their favorite Oregon charities. 

Momo has long been enamored of our B&B men's shirts. The textiles, craftsmanship and attention to detail makes us feel good about sharing them with you. We’re excited to announce that we are now stocking Bridge and Burn clothing ... for women! 

For Her: the “Loren” shirt-dress. Weighty textural cotton in a super fine indigo pinstripe, we think this dress is perfect year-round. Layer it over leggings and throw on a cozy cardigan for chilly rainy days, or wear it with strappy sandals in the summer.

For Him: the casually tailored “Porteau” shirt is patterned with a subtle yet handsome deep indigo grid. 

For Her and Him: scarves. Thick woven cotton and generously sized. We adore these for spring.

Mix and match patterns.

Mix and match colors!

Railroad stripe, ultra-fine red stripe and classic blue and white stripe scarves.  

A Modern Way to Wear Kimono

Momo has just received a handsome assortment of unisex accessories from Kiriko in Portland, OR. The collection includes pocket squares and scarves made of vintage kimono yardage sourced from the secret stash of generations-old kimono making families.

Pocket squares with character.

Kiriko scarves are abundantly long.

Each “Boro” scarf is a one-of-a-kind piece. 

Kiriko also creates the “Boro” scarf which is pieced from recycled kimonos. The word means “worn” and rather than viewing this as a fault,
it is considered sign of enduring quality ... in a wabi-sabi kind of way.

Both scarves include an antiqued pin and fragrance stick to dip in your favorite scent and tuck into the tiny linen tag. All accessories are hand-stitched and 100% unique.

I’m sure you, dear Momo reader, are wondering “Why the heck do I need a scarf when it’s a billion degrees outside??” Beside using one
as exotic self-adornment, here are some other uses for these versatile textile gems:
• Sweat band just like the old Japanese fieldworkers
• Belt when you want to hold your pants up on a skateboarding foray
• Headband for keeping summer hair at bay
• Runner to add a touch of color and texture to the table
And lastly, you can whip it off and use it for tying up your groceries
at Trader Joe’s when you’re in a “I forgot my bag” bind!
