Fox Totes!

Very excited about two things:

These Libris Lunaria Fox totes, that I've been wanting to make since we opened the shop in the fall!!! I'm a big fan of tote bags and it's awesome to be able to make my own! Fingers crossed you'll take to them kindly - I'm hoping we can eventually make more bags with different images - like - astronomy and sea creates!!!

And then there's also the strange acquisition of these practically perfect (to me) sailor jeans via an unassuming army surplus store in Berkeley for a cool 15 clams... I've been trying to find a pair of sailor jeans since 2004 and I think the process of trying on so many pairs that wouldn't even get over my hips made me come to hate pants and jeans. When I lived in Burlington, VT I'd go to Old Gold and grab stacks and stacks of denim. I'd try on 4 pairs of the same size and each one would fit differently - so I decided to call it quits and gave up the hope that I'd ever find a pair that met the following criteria: fits in the waist, looked okay through the hip, and weren't flood pants. These are almost perfect except for a few nitpicky things - but I'm happy to have some measurements to go off of to buy more and more (on ebay?) because they're the perfect solution for short blouses!!

  4. I just died of excitement, and now I am a ghost.

    If you ever had a seahorse one, I would die again :D

    I might need this little guy come payday though.

    Also really like the way you styled these jeans (great cut - what a find!) with the loely hat and top with elbow patches. Lots of great details all over :)

  9. The tote looks amazing. Such a great print. I used to hand draw totes and sell them, but it was too time consuming. I always wanted to print my own.

  17. How exciting. The fox tote is lovely. I've had the chance to study a few urban foxes in my backyard in London. Regal little fellas aren't they?

  18. Super cute! Love it.
    And yes, a good pair of jeans is possibly the most difficult thing in the world to find.
    But you found a fantastic pair!

  20. You're killing me with this, Francesca. I swore never to buy another totebag because I have so many, but I don't think I can resist this splendid fella!
