One of our fave A Peace Treaty ladies, Farah Malik, shares her thoughts on beauty on Ref29. Read the picture-filled feature here.

A consistent provider of scarves and jewellery we highly covet, A Peace Treaty ’s collection for Spring 2012 is inspired by island castaways. Pop art graphics accompany vintage looking bold jewelry pieces that look like they were found in a treasure chest a t the bottom of the ocean. On the next page a peek at what is to come!

Our beloved A  Peace Treaty gives us a little tease of  their Spring 2012 collection. We’re already loving the  beach side inspiration. Then again we love whatever do anyway. It’s just  one of those labels you cannot help but get attached to…global inspiration, social consciouness, impeccable styling,  pieces you know you will wear forever and even pass down.  More on the flip, via APT.

A stunning Yoruba pattern,  hand block printed on silk by our beloved A Peace Treaty, available at Maryam Nassir Zadeh. #needrightnow.

Inspired by the gypsies of the Thar with a hint of  the 70’s  iconic disco era ,  A Peace Treaty’s Spring 11  jewellery collection is made by families of artisans in the Rajasthani desertfrom gold plated brass and discarded camel bone. Creating jewellery with a unique vintage feel, like  treasures dug out from centuries ago that somehow,  still look current. Thar, a testement to heritage,culture and craftsmanship, allows  Dana Arbib and Farah Malik’s A Peace Treaty  to consistently stand as a modern example of fashion that is timeless,  socially conscious and of course thoroughly Highsnobette approved.Take a look at more jewels on the next page. Thar is available for sale here.

There are a slew of trade shows going on in New York City right now and yesterday we stopped by Capsule, which highlights up-and-coming brands with an edge, a look which is right up our alley.  First stop was A Peace Treaty, who we love and whose scarves we have featured repeatedly. What you’re looking at on this page is its second jewellery collection and it couldn’t be more pitch perfect for right now…the right balance of exotic, earthy and yet still very fierce. Extreme luv, needless to say. More images of necklaces and bracelets after the flip.

Originating in the Andes Mountains’ Altiplano region of Bolivia and Peru,  A Peace Treaty’s Autumn/Winter 2010  collection, titled “Pitañia” is a collection  of  pieces  that are meticulously hand-knitted by Aymara and Quechua indigenous artisans using the finest fibers and ancient irreplaceable traditions. Enjoy a look at our favorite pieces on the next page.

In this special collaboration with Afghan Hands,  A Peace Treaty assists women in need, as a result of conflict and economic desolation. The women participate in educational programs and training, as well as produced exquisitely hand-embroidered accessories.

Through the Afghan Hands project, 200 women and their children are enabled to gain security, independence, literacy, and livable wages throughout Kabul and Jalalabad. The pictures do not do justice to the amount of precision and detail these pieces exemplify. It’s like wearing art. The scarves bear the name of the women who made them. A closer  look at Sozan Doz  by  A Peace Treaty on the next page. Now available!

One of my favorite pieces from A Peace Treaty ,the  Khyber scarf in 100 %  Cashmere , handwoven  in Nepal doubles as a  neck scarf and a stole soft and cozy like you would not believe. Available here.
