Alanah manages our wholesale accounts, and also photographs every single jacket that hits the site, is a shopify whizz, and is usually accompanied by her adorable pooch Daisy-Mae.
I like the darker colour palette of this Sai and how soft and aged it feels. It is super easy for me to imagine adding this piece into my wardrobe layering with my favourite hoodie, jeans and boots.

Alanah- I'm looking forward to hiking with my dog, I love seeing the colours change and she loves running through the leaves as they start to fall - It's endlessly entertaining.
The big thing about Fall for me is that it puts me back in touch with my comfort zone. I become a little less interested in new releases and more drawn to old favourites that I know and love. I am currently rewatching the original Twin Peaks and have been listening to Laura Marling's first few records on repeat.

Ali ships all of our orders, helps our lovely customers, repairs and labels jackets, and does beautiful illustrations for our site. She's usually accompanied by her gentle and sweet doggie Sammy.
Year round, I’m cold. Now that Fall is approaching, it’s layering season! I love that the Sai is a lightweight option for keeping me warm. Perfect for layering over a warm sweater!
When I wear the Sai, somehow I feel five inches taller. It helps me feel like I can take on whatever the day brings. |
Ali- I’m most looking forward to all the Halloween festivities! I love anything spooky scary, and I LOVE dressing up in a costume. It’s the one time of year you can be ridiculous and campy in public.
I’m super excited for squash season! My favorite way to cook them is roasted with some red pepper & maple syrup.
An oldie but a goodie— I’ve been listening to a lot of Mulatu Astatke lately (some really great Ethiopian Jazz!)

Bianca is the designer and founder of Namai, and when she's not designing an email, creating a new jacket, or working on a social media post, she's dreaming up ways for Namai to create more community, and increase our positive impact on the world.
As a designer, I love the sai Coat because it’s such a beautiful canvas for the incredible Kantha quilts that we work with. That’s why it’s hard for me to resist always making the Sai with our most outstanding and unique quilts.
As a wearer, I love how bold it is, it instantly makes any outfit pop, and it gives me something to look forward when the weather starts getting cooler. Winter isn’t my favorite season so I need seratonin boosting pieces like the Sai Coat.

Bianca- Apart from every day, I see myself wearing the Sai this Fall to see the upcoming Ruth Asawa Exhibition at Moma, local Hudson Valley events, and anywhere I want to get tons of compliments on my outfit…
I absolutely love the colors in Upstate New York Autumn, and this year they’ve gotten started early. My favorite Fall activity is hiking with my doggie Cosmo, but I also love sitting around a campfire, cooking cosy dinners, being able to layer (Fall is the best for style!) and of course doing our Fall Markets!
I grew a ton of squashes in my garden this summer, so I’ll be cooking some past favorites like baked spaghetti squash filled with veggies and feta, and Thai inspired butternut squash soup with chickpeas and kale, as well as discovering some new recipes.
