hobo bags & wallets for fall

new fall colors are here from hobo! we are loving the new bag styles, too!

poppy treffry has arrived!

long time shoppers and readers will know that we love our british designers! poppy treffry is no exception, and we are excited to have some of her goods in the shop. poppy got her start sewing on an old singer that her grandfather found on a trash heap, and in 2003 poppy treffry became a company in its own right. we picked up a selection of bags (with bicycles, birds, pugs, and dachshunds), tea towels, and cards. come see!

peg & awl

 

we've been big fans of peg & awl's work for awhile now, so we are so excited to have walter and margaux's work in the shop! they make everything at their workshop in philadelphia. (you can often see work in progress on instagram @pegandawl.) nearly all of their materials are reclaimed, and what really blows us away is the incredibly handmade nature of their goods. each bag, desk caddy, necklace, and pouch has been thoughtfully crafted with careful labor. we're in love!

  

we have a small number of these totes in two different sizes and in two colors, truffle and slate. the waxed canvas comes from a 5th-generation philadelphia family business, and the interior fabric lining the pockets has been salvaged from early 20th-century shirting and quilting. the leather used in the straps is also on its second life, having first been utilized in the form of gun slings during world war II.

 

  

 each of these desk caddies is totally different, both in terms of the natural patterns of the wood and the pattern of wear. the wood has been salvaged from a 19th-century philadelphia building and finished with tung oil.

 

 

 these tiny book necklaces are incredible! each book is handmade with archival strathmore paper and leather scraps.

fluf bags rolling in the door...

lately we've been noticing that so many of our favorite goods are made by our friends up north in canada, and fluf is no exception! hailing from toronto, nathalie and terra started fluf in 2005 with a focus on pillows. then they started designing their own textiles, and now fluf's fabrics are hand-printed (locally) on chemical-free hemp and organic cotton, all using water-based, biodegradable dyes. we picked up a few different bags at the gift show, and they landed at o'suz last week!

these little totes reverse perfectly and are

great for daily use, your lunch, your knitting, etc.

we snagged a few of the larger totes like the one above,

also reversible and in lovely colors.

the newest addition to fluf's line are these little

lunch bags, made responsibly in china.

featuring bold graphics that appeal to peeps both big and small,

the bags come with a detachable plastic liner that's easily washed

and keeps any spills from leaking onto (or out of!) the bag.

we've already sold out of one style of the lunch bag,

so come check them out before they're all gone!

new goods are still rollin' in!

kit and lili.
what can we say.
it's an amazing line of 100% cotton canvas bags, printed on both sides, making them reversible.
the shapes include the tech case, perfect for teles and ipods with its quilted lining, 3 pouch sizes, a medium tote, a large tote and the newest laptop case.
the patterns we love most are their classic owls on chocolate reversing to red dots, red owls on cream reversing to brown dots, the newest printed woodgrain reversing to green pebbles, grey pebbles reversing to light blue pebbles, and green leaves reversing to pink hearts.. these images just can't do them justice. they are stunning in person.
p.s. petite bebe carries kit and lili baby and kids clothes!!
