Hello friends ~
What can I say ... July has been wacky. So many unknowns, so much change, so much sun!! Hopefully, you're enjoying the summer, fitting in some fun adventures, and managed to stay cool amid the various heatwaves. July for ixöq was kind of a blur but in a good way & we have some exciting updates coming your way!
Not only did we open our new studio and are now part of Brookland Arts Walk but we worked on two exciting collaborations. I'll be honest ... I find collaborations with other creatives to be SO MUCH FUN. I get to design something unique to ixöq & another brand and I get to work with fun and exciting people. There is nothing that helps get the juices flowing more than a fun collab.

studio stylin': celebrating ixöq's grand opening bash!

We had a fabulous grand opening on July 20 & loved seeing everyone who popped by. If you've met us at markets or know us from the area, you know how nice it can be to shop in person. I'll still be doing pop-ups in the DMV area from time to time (I have a fun one coming up in August in Union Market!) but am now also open on the Arts Walk every friday (2-6) and saturday (9-3) & by appointment so you always have the chance to shop in person!

The address is Studio 7 Brookland Arts Walk 716 Monroe St NE Washington, DC 20017. COME SEE US!!

charmed sophistication: introducing the Errand Bag by ixöq~Libby&My

In early July we unveiled the Errand Bag, our collaboration with the vibrant D.C. creator, Libby Rasmussen of Libby & My. Libby is all about 'living colorfully' but for this bag we went neutral & both love the results!

As Washingtonian Mag’s Style Setter ‘23, Libby brought her unique flair to the project & we hosted a charm party at Libby&My where attendees could deck out their Errand Bag - or any bag they brought - with charms. It was so much fun!

The Errand Bag is a versatile solution—chosen to complement everything in its natural state or personalize with colorful charms. It’s perfectly sized to carry all your essentials without being cumbersome, making it ideal for quick errands, farmer’s market visits, or as your day to day purse.

As a bonus, each bag comes with a mini Cesta tote for your keys, cards, lipstick, lighters—whatever you need. We sold out the first two runs of this & are now having one more limited release that ends July 31 so get ready to elevate your everyday errands with a touch of Libby's vibrant creativity!

Check out Libby&My online and in person at: 

1260 5TH STREET NE WASHINGTON DC 20002

pure feminine power: the bianca+jean x ixöq collection

We were excited to introduced a limited release collection from bianca + jean x ixöq. In collaboration with Mia Montgomery of @biancaandjean we created an exclusive set of handwoven bags, designed to meet all of your needs.

The Weekender Tote (perfect for the beach!), the On the Run Bag (your catch all, carry all bag!) & the It's a Date Clutch. Or get the Full Collection at a discount!! All in a fabulous pink & green striped combo. The Weekender & On the Run both come with an adorable matching mini-cesta hanging charm.

The collection was available for limited release by pre-order, which closed 7.26. But if you missed it you can visit the product pages & join the wait list for our next release. We're planning to get a few extra so should definitely have one for you! Delivery expected the first week of September.

We are beyond excited to bring you this curated collection designed and created by women for women on the go.

As always ... thanks for following along!
