The Shop is happy to announce the addition of a new designer to our roster, Lina Rennell. Rennell’s items are distinguished by not only their beautiful prints but their ethically sourced and produced fabrics. She hand makes most of her pieces in her California studio.

We’re also happy to announce brand new items from Jesse Bonny of Dun, who creates all of her jewelry by hand from items she’s grown, harvested, or re-purposed.

Dun

June 28th, 2010

Remember when I posted about Dun Market, the delicious little webshop run by Jesse Bonny? Well, Jesse being the total sweetheart that she is, agreed to make a few necklaces for the Shop and I’m pretty much super excited to now be offering them. They’re 100% handmade from repurposed materials and gourds grown in Jesse’s own garden. They’re bold, incredibly unique pieces that reflect Bonny’s warm, organic style. Welcome Dun!

Breastplate necklace – $60

I have my long time friend Toyin to thank for this find. Dun Market doesn’t have a huge selection, but what they do have is just ace. I’m particularly crazy for the handbag! They use repurposed, vintage materials to create most of their pieces, which all have an appealing, sensual feel. Several of their pieces use yucca cordage that they make by hand. Dun Market’s wares are the antithesis of fast fashion and I think there’s nothing better than a one-of-a-kind item with such a personal feel. I can truthfully say that I’d wear every item available in the shop! Remember to click the images to enlarge and visit the site to see more
