Oh, it''s so much fun to see pretty colors and fun shapes...but it's especially thrilling when they come from the minds of independent entrepreneurs, and they're at a smart price point.
I love the new cotton duck carry-alls at Baggu. These vertically-oriented handle or strap totes are great. I take the subway a lot, and a vertical bag is easier to deal with when it is crowded, especially when you've got a lot to schlep. Eighteen Bucks! Wow.
I also like the standard Baggu, but I especially like the Baby Baggu. Perfect for lunch or treats..or gym shoes. Six Bucks! Nice!
I also love the re-interpreted espadrilles at String Republic. What a great idea. Thirty Five Bucks! Wow. Also kind of cool is their Home Collection (especially the workboot design)...what a great gift these slipper inspired shoes would make for an ironically inclined gentleman.
