Baggallini

Baggallini was founded by two veteran flight attendants who recognized a need for more fashionable and functional tote bags, handbags and travel accessories. Since their modest start in 1995, Baggallini has grown to be recognized as a worldwide leader in creating products that are incredibly organized and look as good as they perform.
This is a great line for us, one of those companies whose designs appeal to a wide range of customers. Travelers love the durability and light weight of bags that eliminate the need to carry a separate wallet; they often choose neutral colors that don't stand out as touristy in a crowd. Other women go straight for the jazzy colors and updated shapes. Either way, these bags won't break the bank or your back.
We can't carry the entire collection, so we concentrate on purses, totes & small accessories in our favorite fabric: the crinkle nylon. Shown here are Zipper Bagg, Around Town & Little Spender.

A Cute New Crop of Uglies

Hi! I'm Trunko,
one of the newest members of the Ugly Doll gang. Like my friends, I'm made of plush poly fleece, and just the right size to snuggle with - no matter YOUR size. I can keep your wee one company in the crib or stroller, or slip into your suitcase as a travel pillow. If you read my tag you will learn that I'm a bit on the melodramatic side (do I look a little freaked out to you?).

The House of Hauteville Chess Set

Chess set extraordinaire, created by Carolyn Cavanaugh.
The set is inspired by 11th Century Norman chessmen found in Sicily and the famous Hauteville family who played such a dominant role in the politics of Southern Italy at that time. King Roger, Queen Sichelgaita, Knights Drago and Tancred conspire with the truly perplexed Bishops and the obviously frightened Pawns to put a little humor into the game.
The pieces are cast in marble resin, then finished by hand in a classic antique white and weathered bronze scheme. The set of figures is $250, and is designed to fit a 2" grid board which is sold separately at $175.

Marjorie Baer Accessories

Handcrafted in San Francisco, CA, Marjorie Baer's jewelry is made of mixed metals including brass, nickel, copper and sterling. The shapes and textures evoke organic forms rather than geometric precision. This season she has introduced many new styles, with leaf motifs and striated textures a particular focus.
We love the fact that she makes so many clip earrings.
