New Arrivals: Ellen Truijen Bags

We're always excited to open the box of lovelies from Ellen Truijen!And this season her bags featuring her classics with new leather varieties and colors are consistent with the well-crafted gorgeous utilitarian design she's known for. We're thrilled to bring back her classics like the Mommy Dearest bag,ideal for work and travel, as well as the 36 hours and 24 hours bags that make loyal companions for everyday.(My 36 hours bag is aging beautifully!) And her new style-Little Aztek bag,with its unexpected geometric side details, is even better in person. An instant favorite! These bags are showcased beautifully at home, but they're meant to be out of their dust bags and carried around no matter where the day takes you.

More Spring Arrivals: Going for Natural or Colors

We're mixing it up this season with bloomin' colors from Erin Templeton and a natural beauty from Helsinki-based label Month of Sundays. As the first stockist in the US, we're thrilled to introduce the leather goods from this Finnish hard to find clothing and accessories line. And who can resist Erin Tempeton's iPAD case/clutch with their vivid colors for any ensemble?And looking oh-so pretty while holding your small essentials or tech gadgets.

Photography by Olga Bennett

Whether products, spaces and people, I love how Melbourne-based photographer Olga Bennett captures the simple details and real moments of each scene she photographs. Truly a visual artist and one of my favorites, she prefers to use film and manual cameras. With a spectrum of commissioned work from Wendy Voon, Yoko Ozawa, Frankie Magazine, Stampel, Harvest Textiles including wedding photography, there's a sweet calm, authenticity and raw essence in her photos. Simply beautiful and down to earth!

We're thrilled to add to our shop the jewelry and home goods collection by Chicago-based designer Leah Ball. Whether it's hand-building/marbling porcelain or hand-carving metal, she is truly one talented lady for her versatility in manipulating a variety of materials. The result...beautiful sculptural pieces to adorn you or your home. Consistent with the color scheme I'm drawn to this season, I love the blue marbled effect and enamel used in her pieces this season.
