Domahoka

August 31st, 2009

Whew! Well, I was working very long hours in the field last week, hence the absence. But I’m back!

I felt lucky to have stumbled across this little gem of web shop recently as, although small, they have a wonderfully edited selection. Domahoka was created and is run by Doris Ho and Mark Kane who have both worked in the fashion and design industry. Their site is clean and easy to navigate and you can find pieces from Rachel Comey, Steven Alan, A.P.C., In God We Trust, Humanoid, Correll Correll, and more.

Jen Darling Bags

August 25th, 2009

I have the girls over at Threadbared to thank for the discovery of Jen Darling Bags (Look at that, I gave credit where credit was due!). This California based label specializes in handmade garment and shoe bags and travel pouches, all executed in gorgeous fabrics and soft leathers. Honestly, I’ve never really thought of a garment bag as being something that could be stylish, but these certainly are that and then some. I’ve been wanting a garment bag for my dressage show coat, and I was going to go the traditional route and get a garment bag from one of the many equestrian catalogues I’m subscribed to, but now I’m having major second thoughts!

What’s most impressive/amazing is that the designer, Jen, is able to juggle her business while attending grad school, and lest I forget to mention, the prices are insanely reasonable.

Hello loyal readers. As you may have noticed, we launched the site re-design today. Thanks much to Brannan!

Some important notes:

Because we ported the site from Textpattern to WordPress, some of you who subscribe to a feed will most likely need to resubscribe. If you are receiving this latest post, then you can disregard the following. If you need to resubscribe, simply go here.

We will be adding the Livejournal archives over the next few months and tweaking things as needed. Please let us know if you find any bugs or have any problems accessing any part of the site. Don’t forget to check out the new Blogroll, too!

Gabriel & Schwan

August 20th, 2009

Speaking of colour, while I’m not really a fan of German label Gabriel&Schwan’s bags, I do like these chunky, bright nylon rope necklaces. Be sure to check out their website to get a sense of scale.
