cut, stitch, and buy local.

do you love leather? (sorry my vegan friends, I do love you, I just.. I am French, and I need my charcuterie and pâté!!)

OK if you’re still with me, check out my beautiful friends at awlXmaul. I am soooo proud of them! I just visited their brooklyn studio and they are making the coolest leather bags and clutches right now. also fun things like mug cosies, leather key chains, moccasins, hand-sewn wallets. all kinds of goodies!

I’m trying to quit Fast Fashion. (,,,Ok maybe that’s a lie haha — I shop SO much at Rainbow!)

BUT, when it comes to something I might want to keep for 10 years or more, I save up to invest in that real fine leather, or real gold, or real fill-in-the-blank. It’s actually cheaper to spend more money up front on quality materials that won’t break or shred, so you don’t have to keep replacing them every season.

Giving massive love to these local Brooklyn makers!! awlxmaul.com
Support your neighbors and buy local!
