Hi there,
Rachel here, I lead brand and creative at M.Gemi. Somehow we’re at the end of September, and even though we don’t get a typical fall in Miami (where I live), I thought I’d share how I’m wearing some of our new, more transitional styles. Plus, I’m sharing code RACHEL50 for you to get $50 off your first pair.*
I usually start my day catching up on WhatsApp messages from our Italy team…from bed. They’re 6 hours ahead. This week, we’re photographing our new fall launches at a beautiful Tuscan village, not far from where many of our boots are handcrafted by one of our artisans, Matteo. I wake up extra early to see the looks live, but before my second alarm (my 8-month-old son) goes off, I slip into my Felize to make some coffee. They feel like slippers that you can also wear outside. Travel tip: I always pack The Felize for walking around hotel rooms.

GRWM: I work remotely, and I saw a “hack” years ago about putting on shoes to “go to work” when you WFH. I’ve done it ever since. It helps me separate “home” time from “office” time, and helps justify the amount of M.Gemis I own. I’ve recently been wear-testing The Cerchio Due and think Maria really nailed this update. It’s lighter than the original and has more stretch—plus the slimmer design feels fresh. I squeeze in a walk with my little guy before my first meeting of the day, and it’s perfect for that. Then I have calls with my team and will keep checking in on our Italy shoot until they wrap around our lunch time.

After I log off, I meet a friend for yoga and wine (balance!). I slip on The Una and am pleased to learn my mat fits in my new Lola Tote, peeking out just a bit from the north-south silhouette. It also fits my water bottle and has smaller pockets for my wallet and sunglasses. My friend asks if I can get her The Una in Chocolate, but not even our CEO can cut the line (pre-order it here to reserve yours from the next batch). For an in-stock option, I suggested military green—my go-to for fall—or the equally buttery Loriana in Chocolate.

I’m back in time for bedtime and then scroll through how all of you styled our pieces today. I’m always in our DMs if you want to say ciao :)
Ciao, Rachel VP of Brand
