Best Selling Items: The New Milano Bag in Vintage Tribe Leather

Last week on roots.com, one of our best selling items, was the New Milano Bag in Vintage Tribe Leather. This bag is great for so many reasons, but here are my top three:

1. Vintage Tribe Leather is strong, durable and wears beautifully.

2. It has lots of great pockets inside and out that will help to keep you organized.

3. It has an adjustable shoulder strap so that it's always comfortable to carry, even when you've jammed it full of books for class.

Also, this bag has a great rating! Here's what one customer had to say about it:

"An awesome bag to have, it fits my net book and daily files. The site pockets are great to store cell phone, camera and MP3 player. I recommend it to those that are on the go... exceptional design!" Willem, Vancouver, BC

Roots on Real Life Runway

Sarah F. from Real Life Runway, a blog dedicated to fashion mavens who don't want to spend a fortune, has chosen the Antonia Cable Toque from Roots as her perfect hat for the winter.

She also claims, she's fallen "a little bit in love" with the Cabin Legwarmers. She points out that they are perfect to wear over your skinny jeans or leggings and under your tall boots for a bit of extra warmth on those cold Canadian winter days.

Real Life Runway also posted our Fall 2010 Collection video on the blog.

Thanks for all the love Sarah and we're glad you like our toque and legwarmers so much!

Roots Introduces Jeans by Jean Touitou

Roots Introduces Jeans by Jean Touitou

For more than two decades, A.P.C. founder and designer Jean Touitou has made the kind of 'no show-off' clothes that have defined under-the-radar style. With a near global cult-like following, A.P.C. (Atelier de Production at de Crèation) is headquartered in Paris and operates 35 impressive stores in fashion's most influential centres including New York, London, Tokyo and beyond.

Renowned for his relatively modest, well-crafted clothes, Touitou has been described by GQ magazine as 'the coolest man in France.' With a trademark dry wit, he's often outspoken, occasionally outlandish and always masterful at designing clothing you want to wear, not have to wear.

Coveted by denim aficionados/fanatics around the world, A.P.C. brand jeans are the stuff of legend. Their seemingly simple style is actually the product of obsessive, painstaking processes designed to achieve the desired to achieve the desired minimalist look.

We're proud to partner with such an illustrious icon of international style and substance to present these premium Japanese denim, limited-edition jeans designed exclusively for Roots by Jean Touitou. Find our for yourself, nobody does denim like him.

Jean Touitou has designed two styles of jeans for Roots: The straight leg and the slim straight leg. Both are 32" length and a medium rise.

Jean Touitou Designs Jeans for Roots!

Roots just launched two new styles of jeans for men. The straight leg is already online and can be seen in the picture below. The slim leg style will be online soon and can be found in select stores already.

Both styles are made from premium Japanese denim. They have been designed by Jean Touitou, founder of A.P.C., a French label established in 1987.

A.P.C. is well known for its clean and minimal aesthetic as well as for its raw and washed denim.

The jeans are 32" length and they are a mid-rise with a genuine leather embossed patch on the back.

For the Love of Plaid

The Roots Web Team loves plaid. Every one of us has a plaid shirt or more in our wardrobe. So you can only imagine how excited we were to see the Eve Plaid Shirt land in the Womens section on roots.com.

This shirt is long sleeves, but it's very light weight and the sleeves look great rolled up. This shirt will be perfect in hot weather, yet will be perfect throughout the fall. It also comes in some really great colours.
