Pour Porter Shop: Introducing Ursa Minor & Cursive Design

March 26th, 2012

Today we introduce two brand spanking new to the shop labels: Ursa Minor by Elizabeth Hudson & Cursive Design by Chicago designer Sarah Fox.

Elizabeth has been creating her own line since 2010 but the SS 12 season is her first offering it to retailers. I can’t tell you how utterly bowled over I was when she sent me her lookbook for this season. Her designs are anything but the same-old -they’re subtle, interesting, classic, and the workmanship is amazing. She not only drafts all of her own patterns but she sews every piece. Consider my mind blown. This is serious, quality work.

I first became acquainted with Sarah’s jewelry line via instagram. Yes, Instagram. Yes, I’m hooked. Anyway, her pieces have a relaxed, delicate geometry and are inspired by the natural world. She sources, dyes, and assembles all of her jewelry by hand, and I should mention – they’re very affordable. I paired both necklaces with a couple of Elizabeth’s pieces and some other coming-soon items.

I’m just super excited to be offering these two handmade lines now. Really, it’s what the shop is all about so definitely check it all out!
