Bags and Blossoms

We spent a while today processing all the new items, mostly bags, plus the first of the spring clothing, and Vynil! Finally! We're restocked on the Pantheon stickers, the Vynil + Clock, and the Potato Queen (though they are already 80% sold out again).

The Umsteigen hoodies are here and they are great. The red striped top has the blossom print and the black striped top has vines and birds. Pippi the mannequin is sporting the red one and already attracting attention, it's such a nice pop of color. We'll put this on the webshop for sale this week.

And then bags...new Rabeanco leather satchels, new Melie Bianco styles in bright faux patent leather, a great new Hayden-Harnett bag called Louvre, and canvas shoppers from Bungalow 360. Most of these have polka-dot lining which must be the thing right now. Lots of photos here:





We just got more midcentury piggy banks in stock as well, a sweetly packaged present, and also another batch of Pamela Barsky's vintage scarf buttons. Pamela scours the flea markets in LA for silk scarves and creates a great assortment of buttons from them.

That's it for now...we have finished 2 long days at the gift show, finding new goodies for you. There is a fun little coat hook (I have a coat hook obsession right now) that I first saw at ICFF last year, and it's finally in production, we'll have those in a couple months. Also we are picking up glass jewelry from Verre New York and vases from Perch! and gorgeous ceramic tiles from Xenia Taler and crazy wilderness cards from Saturn Press, like how to build a canoe or identify cloud formations. Even though it's the gift show, we like working directly with the designers when we can help it.
