I stumbled upon these refreshingly handsome and functional color block satchels at Treasure & Bond yesterday while shopping in SoHo. And as much as we love The Cambridge Satchel Company, perhaps their bags have jumped the shark since being spotted… everywhere. Regardless, these satchels from Seventy Eight Percent are beautifully hand crafted from wax coated cotton and Italian leather.
(Seventy Eight Percent satchels $375-$575)
Apparently, money does grow on trees! Honestly though, have you ever seen trees scaled with coins? In several wooded areas around Cumbria and Portmeirion in the UK, people have been hammering small denomination coins intro trees for centuries. The practice is said to date back as far as the early 1700s, in Scotland, where ill people would stick florins into trees in hopes that the trees would cure their illnesses. In 1877, Queen Victoria wrote about visiting an oak tree with coins stuck in it in Scotland’s Highlands. Amazing.

When I used to live in New York, I would swing by New York Adorned on a regular basis to fawn over their collection of unusual and exquisite jewelry. Recently, while in New York, we stumbled upon their newly expanded shop Love, Adorned in Nolita. The store is impressive – with the most well edited collection of jewelry at every price range, unique home accessories, and other lust worthy trinkets. I couldn’t resist purchasing an amazing brass and pyrite Marly Moretti bracelet. So in love. And so patiently waiting for them to open an online shop . . .
