Verrieres and Sako is perhaps best known for their couture gowns that continue to win praise from San Francisco and Bay Area socialites and major culture publications, including the San Francisco Chronicle, the Nob Hill Gazette and many other fashion magazines and blogs. 

And with this same devotion to detail and quality construction, Verrieres and Sako translates their couture look into their READY TO WEAR collection.  Below, we visited the Verrieres and Sako studio in downtown Oakland, CA, a bright and airy space, to see their Summer/Pre-Fall 2011 RTW Collection.

After a few seasons hiatus, Verrieres and Sako re-introduces their Ready to Wear collection to market this Spring 2012 through the Altitude Showroom.  We're incredibly proud to add this Oakland-based line to our showroom, continuing our commitment to offering Made in the USA apparel brands.  The Verrieres and Sako collection is made right across from their design studio in Oakland, CA and deliveries may be shipped in as little as 2 weeks from date of order!  

The Verrieres and Sako collection focuses on offering well-structured jackets and blazers with stretch, as well as signature, sophisticated cocktail dresses.   They also offer the perfect stretch pencil skirt, perfect for work or events, and available in several styling options.  

Inspired by vintage, eerie photographs, often with ghost themes, Althea Harper created her own, unique prints on organic silks and stretch cotton sateen.  Her Spring 2012 Collection is defined by a cool, mossy color palette with signature printed tops, tunics and dresses, sexy cocktail dresses with great stretch, and work-ready, sophisticated separates in stretch cotton sateen and thick stretch linen.

Not everyone can wear a solid lime green dress, but anyone can get into the spirit of the color this Spring 2012 by adding pops of color and diving into prints!  See how Kajan Padraig got vibrant with the color using prints, solids and textures.  You can make Limon your color this spring, even if you're a neutral gal!

REVEAL offers versatile, tech-friendly, fashion-forward bags and accessories that are the perfect finish to any outfit.  Take it to the club, a special occasion event, or wear it around town when you want to keep your "baggage" light!  Here, we styled a few key REVEAL bags with different outfits we pulled from the showroom, featuring styles from Akemi Okamoto, Althea Harper and Kajan Padraig. 

Love denim but want something new?  Turn to ultra feminine dresses for Spring 2012 by Akemi Okamoto.  The cotton chambray is imported from Japan and each dress is fully lined for a soft and flowing look perfect for spring and summer events.  Available in a subtle blue or black/white denim.

Akemi Okamoto is no stranger to color.  This Spring 2012, she's turned up the volume with oversized, easy-to-wear silk chiffon tops that are perfect for layering and can easily be belted.  All are cut longer in the back, so you can also pair with leggings for a breezy summer look!  And don't forget her amazingly versatile and very comfortable jacket with front flaps that can be tied or draped.  Perfect for work!

It is such a pleasure working with the Kajan Padraig brand.  I love their styles, the pricing is great, and everyone LOVES that it's made right here in San Francisco. 

And what makes this brand truly special is the dynamic design team behind the line.  Patrick and Cake are perfect compliments to each other and are truly genuine people.  Here, you can meet them and learn how they got together and started their namesake line, Kajan Padraig.
