Marni Canvas Balloon with Kim Gordon Print

As a part the Summer Edition 2009 capsule collection, Sonic Youth singer Kim Gordon collaborated with Marni to create bags and tee-shirt with her abstract prints, like the one on this canvas balloon bag.

This muted white and cream tote is exactly what I need for the … Continue reading “See by Chloe Zip Top Tote”

Chloe Shelby Tote

This Shelby is a close sibling to the Edith from 3 years ago (wow, has it been that long?) but it did not make me jump up the way the Edith did when I first saw it. The Edith had a school girl charm that I loved and this is really briefcase-y.  The blue is … Continue reading “Chloe Shelby Tote”
