Small Business Highlight: Commando Boutique Partners

Commando asked their boutique partners a series of questions, check out D & A’s answers below!

Intrigue Fine Apparel

How long have you been in business? 

In 1987 we opened our store!  My sister and I have been partners in crime since! We are Iconic in the Fashion Industry and proud to say that we have survived every bump in the road since 1987. 

What do you love about what you do? 

Making sure our guests get the best customer service at all times, and look their best, they are our family.  These past 6 weeks have been very challenging and our guests have stepped up to the plate to make sure we survive.

What is your favorite commando style?

This is a hard one since we are all fans of everything commando!  Personally, there is nothing that I do not wear myself. From the leggings and bodysuits, to my nighttime wear,  and of course foundations.  When I travel it is all that is in my suitcase.

Designer Spotlight: Cynthia Sakai of Vita Fede

Vita Fede is a collection of handcrafted jewelry inspired by art, architecture, and culture from the past, present and future. Designer Cynthia Sakai named her line Vita Fede from the Italian words for “life” and “faith”. Drawing from Asian American and European influences, designer Cynthia fuses these elements to create Vita Fede’s signature aesthetic: timeless luxury with a modern, feminine point of view.

Each collection is designed with a distinctive style that is intricate yet uncomplicated, architectural yet organic. Pieces are designed with both form and function in mind, resulting in substantial, sophisticated works of art.

All Vita Fede Jewelry is crafted by hand in Italy, with profound attention to detail using materials such as brass, sterling silver, 24k gold, natural stones and Swarovski Crystals. The result is a collection of singular designs that transcends seasonal trends.

A fusion of American, European and Asian culture, the Vita Fede look is classic and sophisticated with a modern rock twist. Although Cynthia has always believed that one great accessory can make an outfit, Vita Fede jewelry is designed to be mixed, matched and layered to suit each persons individual style.

Mix in your own personal pieces with your stack to create a look that’s all your own! Stacking rings create a look that you can take from day to night. Mix different metal colors to add variation.
