#2 is the Holiday Sale, I am proud to say this is our third annual Holiday sale.  It is hosted by yours truly and Christine from Hughes & Co.  We convert Christine's charming North Vancouver home every December for one weekend only into a Holiday Pop Up Shop.  We serve hot beverages while you shop and chat.  It has become a wonderful holiday weekend for family, friends and new friends. It is happening a bit later this year: Saturday Dec. 14th and Sunday, Dec.15th - Perfect for last minute gifts!

You can see more updates from me here on the blog.

Or on Christine's blog:

To old friends and new, I hope you can join me and celebrate this festive season!  Feel free to pass this info on to your family and friends.

I look forward to see you all soon!

FEATURED ITEM | AW EVERYDAY HANDBAG

It's been a while now that I have been getting requests to make a smaller bag for everyday use.

I have been listening! I have been testing out designs and working with materials that can withstand the elements of life.  Introducing the new AW Everyday handbag:

 

The Everyday Bag come is 4 colours: Olive, Slate, Indigo and Field Tan.

The leather flap is an made of an oil tanned leather,

a more suitable leather for withstanding rain and other outside elements. 

The strap is made out of a thicker but soft cowhide leather, 

making it the perfect combination of durability and comfort.  

The strap length is adjustable with a solid brass buckle.

The body is a wax canvas, and the base is a soft buttery Italian leather.

Meet your new Everyday Bag!

FALL | OUTFIT OF THE DAY, FEATURING A VINTAGE CHUNKY SWEATER

Fall is upon us, and I couldn't be happier to be layering up.

This season, my favorite vintage find has been this men's chunky wool pull over sweater.

It has my favorite details: a shawl collar and pockets!

Since the sweater is oversized, I end up wearing it like a pull over sweater coat.

It's perfect in this West Coast Fall weather.

 

What better way to complete your Fall outfit with the best accessories. 

I am wearing an AW all leather, mini drawstring backpack 

and Rag & Bone's Durham Ankle boots.

 I hope you are all cozying up for fall!

STUDIO DAYS | NEW FOR FALL

It's been a while since I last posted. It has been a busy few weeks in the studio.

I have been working on launching the new AW items that will be added to the site this week!

The studio is also in full production mode, working on everyone's fall orders.

This is what the last couple weeks have looked liked...

 

Above are sneak peaks of the new AW Everday hand bag, and the all leather mini backpacks!

Fall is looking that much better.
