May Newsletter

Dear colorful and renewed customers:

May arrives, and all New York blossoms, both on the trees and in spirits. We love NY spring, and what it does to us (forget the allergies!).
Due to amazing weather and numerous tourists, we have been extremely busy making and planning, hanging and ironing, and all just for you. The summer dresses in new patchwork stripes, floral skirts and ruffle necklines are floating out of our store with refreshed and joyful shoppers. New versions of the canvas and felt utility bags are attracting attention on our webshop.

Our merchandise universe keeps expanding, and we welcome the HapticLab Project Quilt. The first issue of the Williamsburg quilt is in, digitally printed and hand- finished. Architect-trained Emily Fischer has been addinng neighborhoods and towns to her collection since 2007.

Go Global bag designer Erika Lively has 2 new summer-urban styles in bright canvas and the classic duffle now in stained denim. All in the perfect perfect size and materials, trust me: I have carried her bags for many seasons already. Style after style they are great and durable and people will envy you!
