a.b.k.

I've been on a constant search to find the perfect leather bag for a while. A nice thick back pack without drawstrings or zippers, or even just a simple roomy shoulder bag... Beautiful all-leather bags that aren't too fussy or over designed are hard to come by - vintage or new. And then I saw this post about a.b.k. over at We Could Grow Up Together and I was instantly charmed by the elfkin like shoes and her simple leather goods.
I'm sending my wish to the universe that I can some day own one of her pieces.
