ELSEWARES

New to Josh Jakus’s creative line of Um bags is the Um Shoulder.  It’s the first with, you guessed it, a shoulder strap, cleanly integrated into the zipper.  Transporting your necessities hands-free never looked so good.  Available in orange, green, blue, pink, and gray.

Say hello to the newest Clocky, Coco!

New from talented designer Kathleen Plate are wonderful earrings and necklaces made from recycled wine and beer bottles. The glass is suspended on sterling silver, creating simple and elegant pieces that look gorgeous.

Poketo artist wallets are limited edition pieces of artwork you can carry around everyday. Each vivid illustration is laminated and sewn with heavy duty vinyl, and contains all of the wallet necessities you expect, plus a handy change pocket. Poketo’s mission is to feature the best emerging artists from around the world, and make their work accessible to all. Founders Ted and Angie are also some of the nicest people we know.

We have some brand new items in the shop from our old friend Terrence Kelleman. He was a neighbor a few years back, and we always loved seeing him zoom around Chinatown on his motorcycle. Not to mention he hails from a town right near mine in Ohio, which makes him extra awesome.

Terrence’s Dynomighty Design has developed tyvek wallets which are virtually indestructible, yet incredibly thin, and made from recycled plastic bottles. It can also be recycled itself when you decide its time is up, and ages beautifully as you use it.

Then we have his clever Desk Dots, super strong magnets that can be used in many ways around your office and home, but are also just really fun to play with. Enjoy!

Thanks to Gigi for posting about the new Eggflats from Josh Jakus!

The newest Lumen has arrived, and it looks fantastic! The Bloom casts a delicate shadow and adds a warm glow to any room. Perhaps one of the coolest things made in Brooklyn.

We have a slew of creative new items from San Francisco-based designer, Josh Jakus.

The lovely Eggflat and Eggflat Mini are sculptural tabletop pieces reminiscent of the classic egg carton shape, and are perfect as a creative centerpiece, or to keep special little things organized in one place.  We love how they can be interlocked into larger shapes.

He has also introduced two items made from recycled rubber, the 6-Pack Coasters and Napkin Catch Placemats.  Both are available in an assortment of great colors to match your every need.

We’re excited to add Recycled Rubber Wallets to the shop!  Made from reclaimed inner tubes, each wallet is vegan, incredibly sturdy, and made with care in Colorado.  Features all of the necessary pockets and slots for your cash and cards, and a nice slim profile.

Guy Décor makes a good case that men want to drink from a beer bottle at every meal. Well, these glasses (as well as these) are a great way to do just that.
