While it's a bit on the expensive side (for me, not for all), this Lemlem
shift dress is adorable, and perfect for beach cruising.
Lemlem was founded by supermodel-turned-WHO-Goodwill-Ambassador Liya Kebede when she realized that traditional weavers in Ethiopia, where she is from, were losing jobs because of lack of local demand for their trade. Lemlem is her way of inspiring economic independence in the community while preserving the art of weaving in Ethiopia.
On a somewhat side note, this Lemlem
onesie is pretty darn cute too:

Also, I found out about Lemlem from Proud Mary founder/Lloso blog keeper, and her post from today features some awesome leather bags:
