One of the best parts of being a store owner is the buying process. Who wouldn’t enjoy what feels like an endless shopping spree? What excites me the most is hunting through the market for unique pieces that I can envision my customers wearing. There are moments when I spot something and immediately think, “I know exactly who would look incredible in this!”
Keep reading—and watching—to discover my favorite pieces that will be in store this fall! I’ve included videos for each one so you can get a closer look at the details that make them special.
Stine Goya Dress
This cotton poplin dress is inspired by the charming little cabins found in Denmark’s hiking villages. The sleeves can be buttoned up, so you can wear it as either a long sleeve or elbow-length style. What caught my attention was the stunning, fully saturated print that’s perfect for brightening up your wardrobe.
Watch the video to see the colors—it’s one of my favorite finds this season.
Manoush Coat
A raw denim, fully lined coat with a chocolate brown velvet collar—need I say more? This coat is a showstopper! The lining is a vibrant hot pink, and the buttons are covered in patterned fabric with a double-breasted military look. This coat truly has it all.
Check out the video for a close-up of all the details—it’s even better in motion.
(Perfect for Vermont layering with personality.)
Penelope Chilvers Slippers
My absolute favorite slippers, now with an embroidered twist! Embroidery is everywhere right now, and Penelope Chilvers nailed it with a beautiful blue and red, Austria-inspired pattern on their best-selling slipper. These versatile indoor/outdoor slippers are a must-have for your holiday wish list.
The video shows off the craftsmanship and embroidery—so good in person.
Huma Blanco Pumps
The Salvador pump from Huma is a classic, but this season it’s available in a gorgeous new color. Why not have a little fun with your footwear? While every wardrobe needs a traditional pump, it doesn’t have to be boring. Huma’s new caramel/cinnamon shade is the perfect complement to just about everything.
Vilagallo’s Austrian-Inspired Button-Down
Let’s talk about embroidery again... It’s everywhere right now! Known for their playful colors and quirky designs, Vilagallo always creates shirts that fly off the shelves. My favorite this season has serious Alpine vibes with a checkered navy and white pattern and embroidered flowers scattered all over.
Watch the video for the texture and detailing up close—this one’s super special!
Beatrice B Rainbow Tie-Dye Dress
New brand alert! This Italian brand is designing some seriously stunning dresses. My favorite is a high-neck, full-length gown in a rainbow-striped, almost tie-dye design. If you have an event coming up and want to make an elegant statement, this is the dress for you. I’m definitely getting one for myself!
In the video, you’ll see how this piece moves—absolutely beautiful.

Inuikki Boots
Here’s another new brand! Inuikki is a Swiss shoe company that excels at crafting warm winter boots. These European-made boots will keep you cozy while looking stylish for your après ski moments. My pick is a sleek black-on-black style that gives off Moon boot vibes but with a much more refined look.
The video shows just how wearable and sleek they are—great winter staple.
(Ideal for anyone who wants fashion-forward warmth for Vermont weather.)
I don’t want to spoil all my special finds just yet, so you’ll have to stop in or keep an eye out for what’s coming next. If you’re planning a Stowe shopping trip, definitely put Archery Close on your list—there’s always something new to discover.
