A TREND IN NEW YORK

“Coffee” seems to have been a trend in NY in recent years.

Mad, Grey Dogs, Gimme, Le Colombe, Abraco, Stamptown, Gorilla, Ninth Street Espresso, Kava, Piccoro and Blue Bottle…  So many good choices compare to a decade ago.

My favorite changes occasionally, but Le Colombe, Ninth Street, Abraco, Piccoro and Blue Bottle have been on my top list so far. (= too many)

THE FIRST STORE

The very first store who purchased our bags was Envoy Of Belfast in Ireland.  Although I have never visited the store yet, I have known that it is an ideal store any designer would die for.   And, I feel so fortunate to have met the buyer, Ruth, from this wonderful store (thanks to my dear friend, Julia!) and seeing our bags treated with such special care and attention. 

Our brand is still small, but we have developed relationships with wonderful people from stores and vendors which I am extremely happy with.   After all, our ultimate goal is to gain quality over quantity in every aspect of our brand including a relationship with people.
