You know when you spot a bag and just know you’ll use it forever and
ever? Exactly. And that’s why we’re so happy to have these beautiful
oversized leather BAGGU tote bags in the store. Extra-supple, full
bodied leather, these bags will last you a lifetime and they’re made
right here in NYC. We really love both of them, but if you had to choose
between the two colors, which one would you opt for?
Interior zip pocket. 14” wide / 12” high / 7” deep / 10” handle drop. Made in NYC.
We're thrilled to announce the SS13 Collection from UPSTATE is here!
Designers
Kalen Kaminski and Astrid Chastka offer their own interpretation of the
shibori process, and each item is hand-dyed in their Brooklyn studio
and one of a kind.
What is Shibori?
Shibori is a Japanese tradition of dyeing cloth using several different
methods of binding, folding, or compressing the fabric. Small changes in
the combinations of binding and dyeing create an endless array of
patterns and textures.
We love versatility, don't you? The Mabel Dress by Curator is quickly
becoming my go-to for it's wearability and the fact that it can be
styled four ways. How will you wear it?
Sometimes I'm astounded by how wonderfully clever and resourceful our
designers are. For instance, New York-based accessories designer Sheila
Odyssey transforms discarded plastic bags into wonderfully chic,
hand-woven handbags. This spring, she emphasizes the boldness of color,
taking the classic gingham check -- a staple for weavers -- and bold
stripes to add a new twist to traditional design.
The process...
Plastic
bags are sourced from all over the world. Fun fact: Global consumption
of plastic bags is estimated at 1 million per minute!
Bags are then cut into carefully measured strips in preparation for weaving.
The plastic strips are woven on a traditional loom and transformed into stunning accessories.
Gingham Bags are available in Topaz, Turquoise, Onyx and Coral. $220
We're super excited about the latest SAMMY scarves and bags that have
finally arrived to the store. Not only are the SAMMY pieces beautiful,
but they're unique, too; each item is handmade by an artisan weaver,
embroiderer or cotton spinner to create an infusion of Ethiopia's
traditional designs, combined with a modern twist.

Which beauty product are you currently obsessed with and why?
I'm totally I obsessed with MUN oil.
It's a night face oil that my skin now craves at the end of every day.
It's been making my skin look more even toned and helping me feel
comforted, pampered and less frazzled before bed.
We're entering high-season for travel. What's in your travel bag?
Ila
Energy Spray. I'm all about aromatherapy especially when it comes to
travel but this spray is more than just scent; it's completely
refreshing and resetting to your whole energy.
Mayawater Facial Mist
in travel size. I've loved Mayawater since it launched. I use it a lot
for my hair, for moistening facial masks, for keeping me hydrated at the
desk in dry air, and for setting makeup.
RMS Beauty Living Luminizer. When you don't want to think about makeup, you can use a couple dabs of it to give yourself a polished glow.
What
would you tell someone who was interested in making the switch to green
and organic products, but not completely convinced yet? If
you're interested, your instincts are already telling you what you know
is right - that what you absorb into your skin is just like what you eat
and should be as healthful, nutritive and natural as possible.

Made with special care in California, I really love Amour Vert's
Claire Faux Wrap Dress. Not only does it have adorable pockets, but it's
by far one of the softest dresses I've ever felt (thanks to a great
blend of bamboo and organic cotton). Along with this, I've always felt
like it's hard to find a dress that can easily be dressed up or down,
but I think I've finally found the one!
