Holiday Shop

Our holiday shop is up at Big Cartel!

Ina Grau Footwear

Ina Grau are “a collaborative shoemaking endeavor” started last year by LUISA FERNANDA GARCIA-GOMEZ and CRYSTAL QUINN. Their shoes are full of whimsy and detail and it makes complete sense that they’ve made shoes for the uber-talented Annie Larson of All For Everyone.

love the embossed dots on the soles

They are totally inspiring me for my North American Footwear: Moccasin class at TAC where we are choosing from ‘over seventeen different solutions handed down from Native American artisans, each honed over millenia to be the best foot covering for a particular region, climate and geography of North America.’ WHOA amazing. I also posted the class at SkillShare, a new community I’m pretty excited about as a lifelong crafter, learner and teacher. Look for me there if you happen to be on it!

Eco-Knit: Nanna van Blaaderen

Nanna van Blaaderen‘s knits have ‘animal life and nature’ as essential sources of inspiration. I love how her designs flow organically from braids to body. “More or Less” collection below:

Her “Species a Tribute Collection” is here

Suede Triangles Tote

Almost done working on another tote, much larger this time!

Minä Perhonen

I’ve been inspired by Finnish influenced Japanese line Minä Perhonen’s prints for their 2011-2012→ Autumn / Winter Collection:

Their furniture and upholstered chairs are so imaginative and adorable.
