Shwood
As it turns out, I have a bit of a problem with sunglasses. For some people it’s coats or shoes or jewelry, but I’ll just take all of your sunglasses thankyouverymuch! Eyewear company Shwood has designed a pair utilizing oxidation, brass inlays are subjected to the chemical reaction in-house to create one-of-a-kind versions of their best selling frame – the Camby.

Utility Canvas
Couples who create together stay together, at least such is the case with Hal Grano and Jillian Kaufman and Utility Canvas. Founded in 1990, the designs and products are a combination of Jillian’s background in fashion and Hal’s appreciation for the canvas packs he used as a canoe guide. I’m drawn to all of their lines – to carry, to wear, and for the home.

Carina Shoshtary / What’s Left of Krypton
German-born jewelry artist Carina Shoshtary has created some of the most out of the box pieces I’ve seen of late in her What’s Left of Krypton series. Shoshtary uses broken pieces of previously graffitied walls, combining them to form the most interesting brooches and necklaces.

Cold Gold
Cold Gold is one of my go-to jewelry lines of late. I wear my black and brass hexagon studs at least one day a week, and have gifted a few pairs of speckled gray and brass bar studs to raving recipients. Next on my list is snagging one of Alaina’s confetti patterned leather keychain wristlets!

Lorena Marañon
Something about January makes me feel like I should be hunkered down embroidering next to a roaring fire. The problem is I haven’t done so much as cross-stitch since elementary school, so the end results would be nothing as spectacular as the work of Lorena Marañon. The Cuban-born artist is inspired by the landscapes of her youth – northeastern coastlines, rivers, and plants – and the colors that surrounded her. The result is a beautiful body of work that’s full of embroidery, patchwork, and jewelry.

Sideshow Press
Designer-owners Amy Pastre and Courtney Rowson are creating amazing things for desktop, tabletop, and travel. Within the past year or so I’ve become a massive fan of these ladies and what they’re doing over at Sideshow Press. Amy and Courtney believe in great design and craftsmanship for everyday products and are dedicated to working with remarkable materials and like-minded American manufacturers. All things I stand behind wholeheartedly. It doesn’t hurt that they know their way around a letterpress machine like a couple of bosses either.
