Underwear of the Month Club

Underwear of the Month Club! What a simple, brilliant idea - so much fun. And sexy too.

Each month members receive one pair of hand sewn, hand printed underwear from Recession Clothing. Bikini briefs for the ladies and guys get boxer briefs. Each month features a different guest artist. Recession Clothing is in the process of moving from West Oakland to Portland - We will miss them here in the local scene, but wish them well in their new home.

Recycled Skateboard Buttons

Seven Ply is recycling broken skateboards and turning them into something wearable. Be sure to check out the entire line! I've fallen madly for these simple buttons but might also have to pick up these studs.

Octo Love!

Polly Ester Laptop Cover

So. . . Laura came in to the studio with one of these groovy polyester beauties the other day. We've both been on the hunt for a laptop cover, so I had instant envy - even before I knew it was one of Brokesy's designs. A LONG time admirer of Brokesy's attack pillows. I am loving this use of dead stock vintage necktie fabric. Super cool.

metallic silver alligator love

Metallic silver alligator purse! A girly clutch even I could carry. Isn't it fabulous? I admire the simplicity, humor and craft of TsuruBride's design.

embroidered geometric love

A little something for your inner geek. Isn't it cool? This one might be my favorite - probably because of its color combo and use of triangles. Always a sucker for organic geometrics, but the embroidery takes it one step further. Be sure to check out more of Spinthread's designs on etsy and flickr = true love.

Houdini the Hottie

Houdini the Hottie might be my favorite, but the whole bunch is really wonderful, making it difficult to choose just one. Each hot water bottle cover is removable for easy washing and uses recycled fabrics. Oozing with with personality and full of mischief. Crafted by From to From, you can pick up yours now before it gets cold. Gotta love a utilitarian object that makes you laugh and feel cozy inside.

cotton monsters love

With their vibrant colors, bulging eyes and large teeth, Cotton Monsters are both imposing and lovable. Jennifer Strunge is the spirit behind these cuddly gap-toothed monsters. Big or small, each monster is handmade from recycled materials and evolves intuitively without patterns - so no two are ever exactly alike. The Cotton Monster shop is usually sold out, but she posts often so, be sure to check back from time to time - you just might get lucky and be able to snag one for your very own!

Grrr! and Arg!

Grrr! and Arg! Two of the best words EVER! And they can now be worn with all your girly pride - brought to you by finest imaginary.
You can pick up yours on etsy today!
