More Summer Fun!

Our happy Momo couple models some of our latest summer goods. Gentleman Momo deftly shows off a Report Collection shirt, checked in handsome shades of blue. The cotton/linen blend gives it a lovely texture. Lady Momo is wearing a fantastic new skirt made by La Fee Verte. 100% knit linen and...wait for it...it has POCKETS. Yes! Paired with this sumptuous skirt is a Metalicus tank dress and a TriColor scarf made by local designer Tuesday Scarves. 



Momo has also recently received a batch of wrap skirts by Zand Amsterdam. If you're feeling feisty, funky or seeking something totally unique, you should check these out. Snap closures ensure one-size-fits-nearly-all; they are colorful, adjustable, reversible (both the skirt portion AND the unzippable belt!) and come with a detachable mutli-compartment pouch.

Light Up the Year of the Dragon

Mozaic Paper’s Lunar New Year Luminaire, $6.50
From the time she won the ‘Color the Bunny’ contest at five years old, my sister knew she was destined for the graphic design world. Now she’s a partner in her own Honolulu-based firm, Mozaic. Between promoting a plethora of the islands most posh resorts, they create exotic paper goods. To welcome the Lunar New Year of the Dragon, her team has designed a laser-cut card that transforms into a lovely luminaire. The Year of the Water Dragon begins Monday, January 23 — share the energy of the dramatic dragon with this glowing greeting. 

[Available at Momo, $6.50 for the card, flameless candle, additional cost]

Last-Minute Momo

We’re here until 7:30-ish this Thursday (just in case you need us).
We’ll wrap your gifts and make you look good (or at least creative).
We may even serve ‘refreshments’ (if we have enough thirsty shoppers).

No need to wait until then — our regular hours are Mon–Sat, 11–6
Sunday 12–5 (except this Sunday) ... Merry Christmas!

Check off your list with late-breaking gifts for the brother-in-law, to perfect presents for the partner. And if you’re looking for stocking stuffers, hostess thank yous, party favors and more thoughtful-than- expensive options, we have lots of choices. Here are just a few:
 


Hawaii-inspired Makana candles ($10.50) and Ilee local letterpress calendar ($24)


Fingerless wool gloves ($14) or Meg Cohen cashmere (ours, $59, on the Web, $75 — so much for online savings!)

 


Snap watches, colorful kitsch ($20)

 









 



Neck warmers, from Kyoto bunny balls ($39) to shibori-inspired French pucker scarves ($54)

And Pacific pearls ($25) and Panettone ($2.95 at Momo, $3.99 at QFC, we’re less expensive than the big boys)

Selfish Sale Friday, Saturday + Sunday

The holidays will soon be here, time to put aside personal desires and think of giving to others first.

Forget that. This Friday, Saturday and Sunday, score the clothes YOU want during the Selfish Sale at Momo. Tax-free, guilt free. 

Last chance before holiday buying begins — save on clothing $40 and up for men and women. Shop brands like Scott James, Report, 7 Diamonds, Saint James, Pendleton and Nau for men; Cop-Copine, Bench, Sunlight, Deca, Only Hearts, Prairie Underground and Spiewak for women. Get dressed for Thanksgiving dinner, the infamous Office Party, Christmas, Kwanzaa or Hanukkah festivities, and if you think that far ahead, how about New Year’s Eve? Or just a smart time to treat yourself to that Prairie Underground hoodie or Saint James sailor shirt. Some restrictions apply, but not many.
