We are here, it’s our final designer profile, and we are, in some ways, taking it back where it all began for Spring… You see, when we did First Pick last Fall, we didn’t have room for all the amazing makers and designers that we wanted to host at our show, and coupled with the...Read More

We’re just a few days away from our show, so we’re madly getting everything packed up and organized, and it’s at times like these when you really appreciate things that make life easier… and we really appreciate a well thought out bag!
