hell bent for leather

 We just can't get enough of Nutsa Modebadze medieval themed leather processing bags, footwear and clothes! Adore how every piece is handmade and uniquely each different. 

Love,

fortune for a fortune

We started following Diana Eng's work during her appearance on Project Runway in Season 2 with our favorite Houstonian designer, Chloe Dao. Eng's latest creations are these adorable handmade fortune cookie coin purses made from recycled leather with their own unique ID number, which your able to look up to learn more about what your purse was made from! Total cuteness. 

Love,

I put a spell on you

Absolutely obsessed with the new bone & tassel bags by Spell -- an Australian fashion, jewelry, and accessories line by two sisters whose love for "combining feathers, leather, and turquoise" might possibly rival our own. Besides their obvious fringey, beaded, warrior princess awesomeness, these bags are extra amazing because they were made with super soft sheep leather and hand carved bone embellishments in collaboration with a leather craftsman from Bali on the designers' recent trip. So basically, this is the real deal. These beauties only exist in a very limited number, so scoop one up quick before they're gone forever!

Love,
Tess

this is the remix

 Hoakon + Helga  is a handbag line by the fabulously multitalented Andrea Strand, creator and editor-in-chief of one of our favorite online publications, Antler Magazine. With Hoakon + Helga, Andrea uses the same keen eye for design and appreciation for the unique and beautiful that makes Antler so awesome, giving ill-fitting vintage leather jackets new life by turning them into beautiful modern purses that are both eco-friendly and one-of-a-kind. This collection strikes just the right balance between fresh, contemporary design and the comfort and nostalgia of eras past, making these bags perfect heirlooms for our generation.

Love,
Tess
