BAGGU: Beige or Black?

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.

Just In: UPSTATE SS13 Collection

 

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.

How Will You Wear The Mabel Dress?

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?

 

Available in three colors: Blue/Peacock/Black, $154

 

Product Spotlight: Gingham Bag

 

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

Kjaer Weis Blush in Desired Glow and



Eyeshadow in Cloud Nine, Wisdom and Onyx
Ilia Lip Conditioner in Arabian Knights
WELL People and Nvey Brushes 

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?

Tata Harper Hydrating Floral Essence. In a pinch it's my cleanser, toner and moisturizer in one!

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.

Employee Pick of the Day

 

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!
