just adorable. they're three and five, exactly same ages as my nieces. 
my nieces are more than 6000 miles away. my sister sends me their pics almost every day. 
my iphone's bursting but i can't stand to erase them... 

hope these bags will be filled with candy.
trick or treat!

professor moon, an 'autumn woman' if there ever was one,

ordered a big tote bag for this season.

i love the tote bag. whether it's to the market, at the library, 
in the cafe, it hangs on my shoulder.

i like them oversized and supple. good to tote magazines, books... baguettes.

exterior, italian lamb skin + vachetta leather

interior, silky pig suede

inspired by... a paper bag

finally all assembled

it was a my best buddy in   b a r c e l o n a.

something more than a briefcase, a work bag with archival edge. 
oversize pockets on both sides. big enough to carry my 15" macbook pro. super light.

exterior, matte black goat

interior, black canvas

the hardware i bought in paris. such a beautiful object. 

a brass plumbing fixture.

i couldn't wait to see it on my bag.
