There’s more in store this spring, as the current Collection evolves—with the introduction of new styles, a new color, Navy, and a new stencil design. We continue to love Frida, and introduce more embroidered designs in Baby Blue and Concrete colorways. With a bold floral pattern, our newest stencil design complements the delicate Frida embroidery. Learn about each of our latest updates below and find your new favorite in our Collection.
Left: The Moto Jacket, The Rib Dress; Right: The Rib Crew, The Rib Skirt
New Color: Navy
Our Core basic styles are now available in a dark blue shade. Our color palette looks like this for spring: Black, Navy, Concrete, Baby Blue, Natural, and White.
Left: The Kate Cardigan, The Shell, The Mid-Length Skirt
New Skirts: The Pull-on Skirt + The Mid-Length
We’re expanding our Core skirt styles. The Everyday Long Skirt and Pencil Skirt, part of our current offerings, are both classic and timeless designs. The Pull-on Skirt and The Mid-Length Skirt build on these great-fitting styles and offer more variation in length, fit, and details with updated wide elastic waistbands. The Pull-on flares slightly at the bottom, while the Mid-Length has a straighter fit and hand-sewn details at the pockets and a front split.
The Moto Jacket, The Rib Crew
The Lane Skirt and Linden Skirt are embroidered versions of The Pull-on and Mid-Length Skirts that feature our Frida design.
The Cape, The Crop Tee, The Lightweight Leggings
New Spring Outerwear: The Cape + The Trench
The Trench and The Cape fill out our coat and jacket selections. They are what we call “hybrid” garments with both machine-constructed and hand-sewn details. The Cape has a unique, paneled design with openings at the elbows, deep pockets, and an open front for graceful movement. It snaps at the collar and is fitted across the shoulders, making it a notable layering piece.
The Trench features classic trench coat details like a deep back yoke, double-breasted front, vent at the back, and gun flap. The collar is lined with organic canvas.
The Crop Tee and The Lane Skirt
New Top: The Crop Tee
The Crop Tee is made with our medium-weight jersey, taking a classic tee shirt fit and abbreviating its length. It is casual, comfortable and perfect for styling with a high-waist skirt or pants. This classic crop has a relaxed fit, short sleeves, and a crew neckline.
The Keyhole Tunic and Roan Skirt
New Stencil
The form-flattering Rib Dress and Rib Skirt are updated with a new graphic, floral pattern that is hand-stenciled on the fabric.

Pretty fabric colors, but where is the usual AC pizzaz???? While this is a nice collection of hand-sewn cotton tshirts, skirts, pants, jackets, coats – where is the beautiful hand-embroidered stenciling, flowery motifs with beads, etc.??
This embroidery and stenciling are what set AC apart, and give the usual AC collections the WOW factor. Sadly, this collection has none of that. 🙁
Hi, Libby!
There is more on the way – later this month we will be introducing new embroideries. For this Collection, we highlight our Frida Kahlo-inspired embroidery designs that are now offered in new colors, as well as two brand new styles: http://alabamachanin.com/lane-skirt and http://alabamachanin.com/linden-skirt.
New offerings also expand our Core Collection which combines hand and machine designs in a range of styles and features to allow for diverse offerings and price points.
If you are looking for more all-over embroidery, you can visit our Signature | Bridal Collection: http://alabamachanin.com/signature-bridal.
We appreciate your feedback.
i think this new collection is lovely! i especially like the trench coat and the cape. and the new stencil is wonderful! i think it’s really great that you offer items at various price points.
even as i type this, we are driving on the natchez trace, wending our way to florence. i’ll be at the factory tomorrow (five-minute warning!), and i hope that i will get to see some of the new designs in person, although, with my luck, they are probably all in nashville at NFW. but visiting the factory will be good fun, no matter what.
Thank you, Mindy.
We hope that you enjoyed your time at The Factory!
The cape is truly fantastic! The more structured pieces really speak to me . . . I love the way the topstitching highlights the seams. It’s so clean and dramatic, like the simple drawings on the backs of pattern envelopes—which I often think are more attractive than the sample garments pictured on the front. Stunning.
