quote of the day

"I think we emphasize the understated, again, keeping the designs simple and fresh. We have never been ones to add garish or tacky details. Our particular aesthetic does not necessarily want to be the focus of attention, but instead blend into the wearer’s everyday clothing choice."

I first saw these for sale in different sizes at Black Ink in Harvard Square. I wish I had several around the house. Great for wet umbrellas, unruly toys, sock collections...
